Wilmington NC - any advice?

[Arbutis]

I'm heading down to Wilmington to try some fishing with a few friends. Haven't fished there in the summer before. Does anyone have any experience or advice on what to expect or go for? Not looking to travel crazy far off shore. I have a captain booked for 2 days. I'm sure he will fill us in on what's running but it would be nice to have some more knowledge of the area. Thanks.

Good news - lots of fish in the summer. Plenty of flounder in the ICW, Snow's Cut, and the Cape Fear River around docks and oyster beds. There are lots of puppy drum eating topwater at first and last light. There are Spanish mackerel along the beach.

Check out NorthCarolinaSportsman.com for their detailed fishing forecasts.

With whom are you fishing?
