Wilmington NC Fishing Update: Redfish, Trout, and Ideal Conditions for a Solid Day on the Water

# Wilmington NC Fishing Report – Monday, November 3rd, 2025 Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your local Wilmington fishing update. We're looking at a beautiful Monday morning out on the water. **Tides and Conditions** The tide's been running strong this weekend – we're seeing some excellent tidal coefficients pushing near 100, which means big movements and active fish. Yesterday wrapped up with a low tide at 10:36 PM, and today we're looking at our first major low around mid-morning. That means prime fishing windows right now in the early hours and again this afternoon. Sunrise was at 6:32 AM and we've got sunset coming in around 5:17 PM, so you've got a solid fishing window. **Weather and Water** We're sitting at a pleasant 53 degrees with clear skies and humidity around 76 percent. Perfect weather to get after them. The water's cooling down nicely now that we're into November, which has the fish feeding more actively as they prep for winter. **What's Been Biting** Reports from over the weekend show anglers pulling in solid numbers of redfish and speckled trout – our bread and butter species down here. Bottom fishing and light tackle have been producing consistently. For artificials, you can't go wrong with topwater early in the morning or soft plastics worked along the deeper channels. If you're throwing live bait, mullet and shrimp are your go-to options. **Hot Spots** Head out to the jetties near Carolina Beach Pier – they've been consistent producers, especially on this incoming tide. Also, don't sleep on the deeper channels around Wrightsville Beach if you're targeting trout and bigger redfish. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe for daily reports.
