Clear water conditions and diverse bottom features allow guides to adapt techniques throughout the day, moving between drift fishing over grass beds and bottom fishing around structure as fish activity dictates. The calm marsh areas provide excellent opportunities for light tackle fishing, while nearshore waters offer chances at larger specimens.

Local Species Insights: Speckled Trout
Speckled trout thrive in Swansboro's grass flats and nearshore waters, where they hunt baitfish around structure and vegetation. These fish prefer depths of 2 to 8 feet over grass beds during fall months, making them perfect targets for drift fishing and light tackle techniques. October brings excellent speckled trout action as fish feed actively before winter, with early morning and late afternoon producing the most consistent bites. Local anglers find success using live shrimp, soft plastics, and topwater lures around the grass flats and creek mouths that characterize this productive inshore fishery.
