- Fall has arrived here in the Carolina's and that can only mean one thing. Predator fish such as Spanish, Blues and False Albacore are starting their migration south while the Drum and Speckled Trout start to move into the creeks with cooler temps approaching. This is my favorite time of the year. The tourist are gone and us locals get our beach back ! Enjoy, like and subscribe.
First freak’n cast not but 1 second! Amazing bites! 👏👏👍👍
Is May a good time to fish there.. or too early?
Right now they should be moved in. I had planned on going before Memorial Day to avoid the crowds
@@SlackTidesFishing Crap!
Just looked up Topsail Beach and saw there are 3 piers, Jolly, Surf City and Seaview.
In mid May, are they all the way up to Seaview yet or more bites down at Jolly?
Wife and I would like to stay near Seaview but would hate to fish and no bites.. 🤷♂️
Man it’s that time of the year, these Spanish are gonna be from Charleston SC all the way up towards Virginia. Water was 71. It should be prime. Follow Johnny Mercers Pier on FB. That’s what I use as a guide as to what fish is close by. They’re 2 hours South.
@@SlackTidesFishing Thank you so much! Tight lines!!
Absolutely. Thats all im wanting to do is help people out when and how I can. Tight lines!
Nice
Thanks man. That was 3 years ago in September lol. Videos have come a longgggg ways.
ft macon is the best
Absolutely. It was on fire again this morning.
what lure are you using?
ES Lures 1.5oz Pnut Bunker
eslures.com
@@SlackTidesFishing I ordered some for my next trip! Thank you!
Awesome!! They’ve worked fantastic here the past 4 summers.
Wow that is awesome. IS it like that for a solid couple weeks or pretty rare?
They’ll usually hang around for a couple of months. Typically from Sept thru November. They’ll make a showing early/mid March until late april too.
ES lures are the best and Bob is a great guy. Last time I ordered a dozen lures he must have thrown in 6-8 extra. That reminds me……
I’ve never met him in person but had convos with him over FB. Those Albies will drag a reel in a heartbeat. It’ll be here soon.
This is wild! I need to take a trip to NC
It’s awesome to see in person. It’s literally 20 yards from me. Video doesn’t do it justice.
What beach in NC?
Atlantic Beach
@@SlackTidesFishing fort Macon?
Yep that’s it. Ocean and inlet side
@@SlackTidesFishing I’m going Wednesday to Atlantic Beach. I hope it’s like that when I go.
It should be. They’ve been really thick. That fat Albert video a few weeks ago was a few hundred yards away from the beach.
What month did you go ... seems to me they bite more in the fall but i dont really know what months ... august September october
This was mid September. But we always have solid bites in early spring and especially late fall.
Wow, that water is really calm. Is that the open Atlantic? I go every now and then to topsail and the waves are big
It’s actually the inlet coming into port at Morehead city. It’s a public park called Fort Macon.
@@SlackTidesFishing Ah ok, that would explain it, I’ve only been near fort Macon further away, by the coast
Great video! Where was at??
Fort Macon NC
we're going down the 17th-24th in a week in a half or so. staying right at fort Macon. hope the bite is like this while we're down there!!!! 1904 east fort Macon rd is where we're at
Hell yeah! The bite is def picking up. Waters cooled off a bit. A lot of Albies and big Spanish are being reported a couple miles off. It won’t be long.
Albies are the only fish you can identify by the sound of the reel.
False. King Mackeral, specifically bigger fish, you can always tell. They don't call them smokers for nothing. They'll swim the length of a football field in seconds.
Awesome video.
thank you mark. thats my first video and hopefully content and quality will improve a lot !!
He was using one of my regular lures - watermelon color - it’s the pink & green that, back in the day, you didn’t go out on the beach without one or two.
That color didn’t miss any species that day. Blues, Spanish and Albies all evening
Hey how is the fishing down there in June ? I’ve been doing some research and would love to catch some Spanish, I’m going to Emerald Isle
A lot depends on how hot the water gets. It’s it’s upper 70s low 80s the morning bite should be decent. Then they’ll move off to just a tad bit deeper/cooler water. But if it’s mid 70s it should be decent all day it would just fluctuate with the tides.
@@SlackTidesFishing alright thanks ! That’s helpful
Just holler at me when that times getting closer and I’ll give you a better update.
@@SlackTidesFishing alright will do! Thanks again
What is the lure you use and where can I buy it if you don't mind.
Hey Gator where are you located ?
Find me on FB if you’re there. Rich Marquard Jr. i can send you any link you want.
@@SlackTidesFishing I'm in Newton, NC. Plan on coming to fish either Kure Beach or Ft Maco this weekend. After seeking your video got me excited. Would like to buy a couple of the lure you use...
Nice! I’m from Lincolnton. But If you come down here swing by Neuse Sports Shop or Chasin Tails. I use an 1.5oz Clark Stick Jig, 1.5 ES Lure or 1.5oz thingamajigs. They’re fantastic lures.
@@SlackTidesFishing Sorry, I don't have fb..lol. Lincolnton, that's close to Newton. Thanks
Do you remember what the water temperature was?
Honestly I don’t. I’m sure there’s a data base with that info. If it helps, there’s a bunch of big schools of them and Albies being spotted a few miles off the coast. It won’t be long.
Thanks, that does help. I’m trying to pull in any real world info I can on Spanish migration. There is some data out there but it’s harder to come by than you’d think.
It maybe an old wives tale but when we start seeing the small yellow butterflies that’s kinda what I’ve went off of that the migration is in it’s early stages of potentially them running South. For 5 years in a row it’s been a good gauge.
@@SlackTidesFishing that’s an interesting observation and could absolutely have some merit. I’m gonna make a note of it and dig a little deeper
What’s rig setup?
7’ Heavy Tsunami Surf Series Rod
Penn Spinfisher VI 3500 Reel
20lb braid, 30 lb mono leader
1.5-2oz casting jig
