I think VA beach to Hatteras is the best, and I am down here in Wilmington where it's more hit or miss. It can be great but also terrible depending on water conditions.
Looks like you're fishing off WB. I killed he Spanish last week down at Sheephead rock. No Bonito, just Spanish and blues. Thanks for the tip about reeling faster to keep the blues away.
I was there. Had a buddy go out Thurs and today (Monday) - he got 1 and none respectively. He even said the spanish werent as thick today, so maybe the weekend wind screwed it up some.
Went out yesterday and caught a lot of Spanish and Blues but no bonito. Going back out tmr and Wednesday and going to try and get one. Will you be out there?
The Spanish were definitely on fire over there yesterday.. got my limit and released another two limits, but thankfully was able to snag my first AB haha can’t believe the Spanish were so thick this early
@@ericwilliamsfishing nice man this weekend looks horrible hopefully this week of some warmer weather will really get stuff going the abs are here but still scattered out
Hey! What part of nc is this looks familiar
I’m out of Wilmington.
@@ericwilliamsfishing dang haha that’s why it looks familiar
Going may 9th 15-20 miles out for the first time so hopefully we can just as good of luck 😁
Sending you good vibes brotha!
This is why I'm considering moving to NC from VA. I feel like the fishing (saltwater) is better.

Yes sir, I did. The Bonito have been few and far between on average this year. I’m glad you got on some Spaniards.
Do you eat those bonita fish?
A lot of folks do. I don’t like them.
@@ericwilliamsfishing I want to try one. I just gotta figure out how and when to catch them.
@@BoringFisherman they are only here for a few weeks a year and this year was about the worst one I’ve seen for them. They stayed up near Morehead.
i like fishingggggggggggggggggggggggg
Haha. I’m happy to hear it.
Heck Yeah !!!!
Had some good intel 😂
Awesome! Caught my pb Spanish yesterday, good stuff.
That’s awesome dude! I haven’t seen any bigger than 13” yet.
Awesome Video as always Eric!! 👍👍
Thank you, John. It was a ton of fun!
I'll be fishing at wrightsville beach this weekend. Do you think the Spanish will still be running? Possibly surf fishing and pier fishing.
They should be. There’s no way to tell but I don’t see any sign of them leaving this week.

I went this morning and it was trash. Also 56 boats made it pretty tough to even cast. Lol.
Nice work!! Hope to see ya out there this season. TIGHT lines brotha
Thank you buddy! You too and best of luck!
That’s what I did yesterday. Tossed it counted to 15 then burned it back so it would hit the strike zone
Did you burn the Spanish up?
Yeah we ended up with 12 Spanish and 24 blues landed. Saw either a 14-15’ bull shark or great white. Man that thing was massive.
Love that you take your dog! How’d you get ‘em so chill? Mines loves the boat but thinks the lure is fetch haha
He was just born this way. I think he hates it to be honest and just goes to sleep. My last lab was exactly like yours but I prefer that.

I don’t think so. I skunked today. I am going to focus on something else.
I'm glad to see their starting to show up. Hopefully, I can get out there next week.
Monday is looking really good…
@Eric Williams Fishing Monday and Tuesday looking good. I'm doing my fishermen post delivery on Monday, so Tuesday morning will be my day.
Are you out of Wilmington?
Yes sir.
The Spanish were definitely on fire over there yesterday.. got my limit and released another two limits, but thankfully was able to snag my first AB haha can’t believe the Spanish were so thick this early
I’m glad you got on one, buddy. Yeah. It’s easy to get a limit of Spanish right now and I’ve never been able to say that in March.
Yewww glad you were able to grab one through all the blues that were out there...looking like the Spanish fishing is gonna be real good this year 🙌🤞
It seems like you can load the freezer up right now. That’s for sure 🫡
Are they here? This early? That's crazy.
Yeah dude. Never would have thought it in March.
How far off and what did you use?
2-3 miles and a 1oz Gotcha Jigfish.
do you still have your Nauticstar?
It’s in the shop, power tilt and trim went out on me 😩
was this today?
Yes sir.
@@ericwilliamsfishing 3 miles?
Are they anywhere near close enough to reach on a kayak?
add me on instagram at ewilliamsrealty and message me.
I didnt see any birds diving or anything in the background. did you just pull up on public numbers or something and start casting?
Public numbers and a lot of local intel.
What beach I'm in Wilmington NC
Wrightsville. Glad you have a local!
