FISHING WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH

Wrightsville Beach gives Wilmington anglers a fast route to both the marsh and the ocean: Masonboro Inlet and the surrounding sound system are prime fall flounder and redfish water, while the nearshore artificial reefs off the beach turn on for Spanish and king mackerel through summer. The jetty at the inlet is a popular land-based spot for trout and drum on a moving tide. Run a little further and the Gulf Stream ledges off the Cape Fear coast open up the dolphin and wahoo bite.
