  • Summary

  • For November 23rd in Wilmington, North Carolina, the fishing conditions are looking promising. Here’s what you need to know:

    First off, the sun rose at 6:52 AM and will set at 5:03 PM, giving us a good 10 hours of daylight. The tidal cycle is significant today, with a tidal coefficient of 40, indicating moderate to high tidal activity. The first low tide was at 3:20 AM, and the next low tide will be at 3:42 PM. High tides are expected at 9:40 AM and 10:26 PM[1].

    Weather-wise, the cooler temperatures are making the fish more active. Redfish, Spanish mackerel, and speckled trout are biting well as they fall into their winter patterns. Yesterday saw a lot of action with redfish and Spanish mackerel, particularly when targeting feeding surface fish and using Clark spoons for trolling[2][4].

    For lures, Clark spoons and jigs are working well for the mackerel and redfish. For bait, live or artificial shrimp and mullet are effective for both redfish and trout. Sight-fishing for redfish in the shallow waters, especially during the lower tides, has been successful[2][3].

    Hot spots include the areas around Wrightsville Beach and Masonboro Island, where the structure and currents tend to concentrate the fish. Inshore fishing near the marshes and flats has also been productive, especially for speckled trout and redfish[2][3].

    Overall, today should be a great day to get out on the water and catch some fish in the Wilmington area. Just keep an eye on the tides and adjust your fishing spots accordingly.
