Anglers in the Carolinas get their shot at catching tarpon each year beginning in the summer. While live bait is often used, some target the silver king with artificial lures. These are favorites among several Carolina guides. […]
The heat of summer has arrived and along with it has come steady, if not spectacular, fishing along the Brunswick County coast. […]
Since May, many fishermen have been targeting Spanish mackerel, particularly off the beaches from Oak Island to the South Carolina line, and the good fishing will last into September.

Brad Knight has a pretty standard setup for rigging for sharks when fishing from his kayak. It works, and it’s strong — strong enough that he boated a 140-pound class tarpon three years ago while fishing for sharks. […]
