May fishing in Southport area

[jjhondamx3]

I am going down to the southport area for a wedding that just so happens to be on my 4-day weekend. Im planning on fishing the rest of the time and i was just wondering if anybody had any tips or know whats biting best in mid-May. I have fished Kure/Carolina (but not in May) before but was wondering if there is any hot spots anyone knows about or what exactly should be biting. Thanks.

JJ you and me both know that there will be no fishing on this trip. You'll be to busy ring shopping.

Get offshore to one of the reefs if possible. Bottom fish around any wrecks or natural bottom. Or tolling for early, kingfish.

What are you fishing from? I take my Kayak out to Yaupon Reef when I am out that way. 1.9 mile paddle/peddle.

Fishing on the pier is ok and so is surf fishing best bet is to get a charter and head out. If you haven't been head out to frying pan the capt should know exactly what Im talking about if he don't find someone else. Bottom fishing is usually great out there and trolling for kings and cobia is decent to awesome depending on if you can find a hot spot. Good Luck
