Coastal Waters of Wilmington

The deep blue waters off the coast of Wilmington, North Carolina, provide an ideal setting for anglers seeking the thrill of deep-sea fishing. As the boat cuts through the waves, the anticipation builds for encountering the prized Sciaenops Ocellatus, commonly known as the Red Drum. The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretches to the horizon, offering a perfect backdrop for an unforgettable fishing adventure.

Trolling Techniques for Red Drum

Experienced fishermen employ trolling methods to entice the Red Drum, dragging lures or bait behind the boat as it moves steadily through the water.
