After a long and dreadfully hot summer, the change of seasons brings cooler air, water and a fantastic flounder bite to the nearshore and inshore areas around the North Carolina/South Carolina state line. […]
Flounder will bite many different baits and lures, and that’s a good thing for anglers like Jordan Kennerly of Swansea who spends a lot of time bass fishing in the midlands, but still likes to wet a hook when he’s on the coast.

“I can’t tell if I’ve got a fish or if I’m hung up in some debris,” said Monty Gardner while slowly reeling in his line in a creek near Holden Beach. […]

Flounder fishing is hot in the Murrells Inlet area right now, and while many anglers prefer to anchor down near likely holes and probe those areas with jigs or mud minnows, Dale Turner of Pawleys Island prefers to use a different tactic.
When Amanda King arrived in Wilmington a while back to attend college, she knew the Cape Fear coast was a special place and that she would probably be staying. She wound up working at the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher running their surf-fishing seminars and similar projects, and doubling as a fishing guide who specializes in leading ladies and kids on trips exploring the Cape Fear River downstream from Wilmington to Southport from her Carolina Beach home.
