Artificial reefs boost North Carolina fishing culture
North Carolina maintains a robust artificial reef program with 42 offshore reefs and 22 in estuaries, aided by groups like NCCCA and the DMF. Since 1964 reefs from AR-315 near Beaufort Inlet to Wrightsville Beach structures attract diverse game fish, supported by public access via ncfisheries.net and DMF offices.

Offshore and nearshore fishing trends this week
Captains Maus Jernigan Bourquin Dillon and Beagle report varied conditions with few fishable days. Inshore speckled trout red drum and topwater red drum are common while nearshore rocks reefs produce Spanish and king mackerel flounder grouper and black sea bass. Gulf Stream yields wahoo mahi and sailfish when offshore access allows.
