Hello there, fellow anglers I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to source for all things fishing in and around Wilmington, NC. Let's dive into today's fishing report for June 13, 2025.

First, let's talk tides. Today, the low tide hits at 3:57 AM and again at 3:19 PM, with the high tide coming in at 9:44 AM and then 10:07 PM. These tides are perfect for exploring the inshore waters, especially around Wrightsville Beach and Masonboro Island[6][8].

The weather is looking great today, with a beautiful sunrise at 5:59 AM and a sunset at 8:23 PM. The calm conditions make it ideal for spotting those elusive redfish and speckled trout.

Speaking of fish activity, red drum have been spotted in smaller groups along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and out to the inlets. Speckled trout are active during the early and late hours of the day. Flounder are also biting, especially on Carolina-rigged live baits or slow-moving artificials[4].

For those venturing into nearshore waters, spanish mackerel have been plentiful just off the beaches. Anglers have been using Clarkspoons behind planers to catch these fast movers. Black drum and sheepshead are also around, particularly near jetties, where live fiddler crabs are the bait of choice[2][4].

If you're looking for hot spots, Wrightsville Beach and Masonboro Island are your best bets. Captain Jamie, who operates near these areas, has been leading successful trips, providing great insights into the local fishery[1].

For lures, consider using small metal jigs for those spanish mackerel. For inshore fishing, soft plastics and live baits are always winners.
