### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw decent fish activity, with anglers catching a variety of species including bluefish and gray trout. The cooler waters have not slowed down the fishing, and there is still a good chance of catching these species today[1].

### Best Lures and Bait
For saltwater fishing in these waters, some of the best lures to use include paddletail soft plastics, gold spoons, and shrimp lures. The paddletail is highly versatile and can draw strikes from various fish species. If you're fishing from the beach or shoreline, a paddletail would be an excellent choice. For fishing from a bridge or pier, a shrimp lure is recommended[3].

### Hot Spots
Some hot spots to consider are the areas around the inshore waters and nearshore structures. The waters off Atlantic Beach and the surrounding areas have been known to yield good catches. Additionally, fishing near the tidal rips and around any underwater structures can be particularly productive.

Overall, with the right lures and knowledge of the tides, you should have a good day of fishing in the Atlantic Ocean off North Carolina. Just remember to adjust your fishing times according to the tide cycles and match your lures to the local baitfish sizes.
