Fishing Update North Carolina June 14th: Tides, Weather, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia & More [2 min]

Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your local fishing expert, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on what's happening in the waters around North Carolina's Atlantic Ocean today, June 14th. First off, let's talk about the tides. Over at Sunset Beach Pier, we're looking at a low tide at about 4:54 AM and a high tide around 10:39 AM. The second low tide is at 4:16 PM, with another high tide coming in at 11:03 PM. For Atlantic Beach, the tides are slightly different, with a low at 3:48 AM and a high at 9:24 AM, followed by another low at 3:10 PM and a high at 9:54 PM. Weather-wise, we're expecting a mix of sun and clouds, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms later in the day. The sunrise was at about 6:01 AM, and we'll see the sunset at around 8:23 PM. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Spanish mackerel and bluefish are still dominating the beachfront, with big schools and fast action, especially during calm mornings. For those targeting these species, trolling spoons behind planers or casting metal jigs during busting fish is a great strategy. Red drum fishing has been consistent, particularly when using live baits like fresh shad or shrimp under a popping cork. Flounder are plentiful for anglers using soft plastics and bouncing bucktails off the bottom. Inshore, speckled trout activity has been picking up, especially in Carteret County. The trout season is set to open on July 1st, but for now, it's catch-and-release. If you're targeting redfish, look for areas with less pressure and use topwater lures or rattling corks in shallow waters. Out on the wrecks and reefs, cobia are making appearances, often near bait balls or sea turtles. Keep an eye out for these, as they can be a great catch. Offshore, yellowfin tuna are still going strong in the Outer Banks area, and mahi catches are fantastic from Hatteras down to Carteret County. For those looking for some hot spots, Cape Lookout and the surrounding areas are seeing some action with cobia and the last push of Atlantic bonito. Nearshore reefs are producing gray trout and plenty of flounder. Thanks for tuning in, folks Don't forget to subscribe for more fishing updates and tips.
