 This is Artificial Lure with your Friday, June 13, 2025, Atlantic Ocean North Carolina fishing report.

Let’s kick it off with today’s conditions: Sunrise came at 6:02 a.m. and you can expect sunset at 8:25 p.m. Over at the coast, air temps are holding in the mid-80s, with a south wind gusting 15–22 mph and sea temps right around 85 degrees—hotter than usual for this time of year. Water clarity’s moderate, and surf heights are steady at 3 to 4 feet—so keep a close eye on those currents and set your rigs accordingly.

On the tidal front, Oceanana Pier at Atlantic Beach saw high tide just before dawn at 3:27 a.m., with the next peak coming in the afternoon. Low water in the late morning and again near dusk means you’ve got prime windows for both chasing bait and working structure off the beaches.

Baitfish are thick and lively right now: menhaden, mullet, and glass minnows are pulsing through the surf and nearshore. That’s brought in the predators in force. Spanish mackerel and bluefish are still piling in, eager to chase flashy spoons and Gotcha plugs trolled behind planers or tossed into feeding blitzes—perfect for those looking for fast action and some tasty fillets. Topwater plugs and silver metal jigs, especially in the 5/8 to 3/4 ounce range, are the ticket if you spot busting fish a little offshore.

Inshore, red drum and flounder are both on the chew. For reds, try live finger mullet or menhaden under a popping cork, or even a Carolina rig fished around marsh edges and creek mouths where the bait is thick. If artificials are your thing, soft plastics and scented paddle-tails in natural colors are getting steady hits. Flounder are holding on the nearshore reefs, especially on bucktail jigs bounced slowly along the bottom or soft plastics tipped with a bit of cut bait for scent.

There’s still an occasional cobia cruising off Cape Lookout and around bait balls or swimming rays—keep a cobia rod ready with a live menhaden or a large bucktail jig. Offshore, reports are red-hot for mahi between Hatteras and Carteret County, and there’s still a shot at yellowfin tuna if you’re running north off the Outer Banks. Back on the reefs, black sea bass and sheepshead are there in numbers, especially if you drop fiddler crabs or shrimp down to the structure.

A couple hot spots to try today: AR-315 and AR-320 artificial reefs off Atlantic Beach—gray trout, flounder, and the tail end of Atlantic bonito have been reported here. For surf action, the stretch just east of Cape Lookout inlet is producing bluefish and the first schools of tarpon of the season. And don’t overlook the creek mouths feeding into Bogue Sound for solid red drum action at daybreak.

That wraps up today’s local look. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for tomorrow’s boots-on-the-dock report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
