I personally really like to fish in September, warm days, a little less humidity, less boat traffic and best of all; great fishing!\u00a0 Here are some of the \u201cgoto\u201d fish I like to target during September.\u00a0 Also, during September, the mullet run starts to get going, this always helps the fishing!\u00a0 And last, but not least September 1<sup>st<\/sup> to the 14<sup>th <\/sup>2026 is North Carolina Flounder Season!!<\/p>\n<p>September is one of the better Flounder months for NC.\u00a0 Working with live bait or artificial lures are both good ways to catch flounder.\u00a0 Live bait is good for catching higher numbers of Flounder, but not always as many larger size flounder in my opinion. \u00a0Mud minnows, and small finger mullet will be the best live baits for Flounder in September. Small menhaden work too but die very easily in the warm waters of September.\u00a0 I see bigger Flounder on artificial lures day in and day out!<\/p>\n<p>Rigging the live bait on carolina rigs with <a href=\"https:\/\/eagleclaw.com\/products\/lazer-sharp-steelheadwalleye-wide-gap-hook\"><strong>Lazer Sharp<\/strong> Steelhead\/Walleye Wide Gap Hook Hooks | Eagle Claw<\/a> in #1 or 1\/0 size hooks is a good choice of rigs for Flounder. If you prefer to use artificial baits, I do see bigger size flounders more often on lures. \u00a0Scented soft plastics work well in clear or stained water. \u00a0Berkley Gulp Jerkshad *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/3U1gTCB\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/3U1gTCB<\/a><\/strong> in five and six inch in colors new penny, pearl white, fire tiger, and chart pepper neon are all good too. Darker colors like root beer gold and fire tiger (bright but not bright?) in stained\/dirty waters seem to work better to get more bites. \u00a0Also try Berkley\u2019s Powerbait Bonga Shad *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/5FaQHD7\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/5FaQHD7<\/a><\/strong> in five inch, colors I prefer are HD Pinfish, Silver flash, Sight flash, Cold Beer and when the waters are dirty\/stained I like Dark night. I like the Bonga Shrimp *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/d3Cc7VS\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/d3Cc7VS<\/a><\/strong> series as well for flounder fishing.\u00a0 I rig all these soft plastic lures on Berkley Fusion Jig head *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/28RH5yg\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/28RH5yg<\/a><\/strong> in1\/4oz, 3\/8oz and 1\/2oz weights in colors <strong>red<\/strong>, gray, or white.\u00a0 Bucktails tipped with Gulp work well for ocean flounder fishing, I prefer Berkley Fusion Bucktails *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/cHMQmfL\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/cHMQmfL<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 in 1oz, 1.5oz or 2oz. \u00a0The new Berkley Gulp Dragon tail is great to use with a bucktail as the trailer. *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/ge6QBpx\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/ge6QBpx<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0Leaders Berkley Pro Spec fluorocarbon*See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/eDRuK2P\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/eDRuK2P<\/a><\/strong> in 40 (inshore) or 50 pound (ocean).<\/p>\n<p>Look for the bigger flounder around deeper docks with good current, bait fish and lots of structure inshore. The inlets, offshore reef and ledges are all good places to find warm weather flounder. What do all these places have in common with deeper water, bait, current and structure. Do not forget to look for the clearest water possible and when fishing very stained\/dirty water slow down your presentation of the bait. **Keep your eyes peeled for tagged Flounder.\u00a0 I have tagged lots the last few years, as well as other taggers.\u00a0 You might even get lucky and catch a Red tag worth $100!!<\/p>\n<p>When the water starts to cool down just a little bit the Redfishing (Red Drum) will heat up.\u00a0 I look for the Reds to be in the creeks, along the ICW docks and oyster rocks. Anywhere bait is moving by! Carolina rigs with live bait or fresh cut bait is a good bet to catch a Redfish.\u00a0 If you want to go the artificial root, try Gulp Shrimp *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/58q5o7A\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/58q5o7A<\/a><\/strong> three- or four-inch in colors sugar spice glow, molting, new penny fleck or any of the Chrome series rigged on a 1\/8oz or 1\/4oz Fusion Jigheads *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/28RH5yg\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/28RH5yg<\/a><\/strong> should get\u2019em to bite.\u00a0 Early mornings or late afternoons the top water bite should be good; cast MirrOlure Top Dog Jr\u2019s or Top Pup\u2019s for the best bite.\u00a0 Look for the top-water reds to be along marsh grass lines and shallow oyster rocks.\u00a0 You can also use rattling or popping corks in the same areas you use top-water plugs.\u00a0 Just rig them with eight to fourteen inches of forty-pound fluorocarbon, 1\/0 hook L42 Eagle Claw and a live figure mullet or a 1\/8oz Jig head &amp; a Gulp Shrimp <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/58q5o7A\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/58q5o7A<\/a>.<\/strong> \u00a0Later in the mornings when the sun gets up and the topwater bite slows.\u00a0 The new Slobberknocker lure (bladed jig) has helped me catch more Redfish in one to three feet of water. *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/dpvDLgu\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/dpvDLgu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bigger Reds are starting to show up in the ocean on hard bottoms and around the inlets during September.\u00a0 You never know when you might hook one of these hard fighting fish.\u00a0 When I fish for bigger Reds, I use fresh cut or live menhaden or mullet.\u00a0 Carolina rigs with <a href=\"https:\/\/eagleclaw.com\/products\/trokar-bait-saver-circle-hook\"><strong>Trokar<\/strong> Bait Saver Circle <strong>Hook<\/strong> Hooks | Eagle Claw<\/a> and eighty-pound clear Berkley Big game mono leaders. Do not forget to keep your drag tight when using circle hook so the hook will do its job.\u00a0 One tip I can give you when fishing for Bull (Old) Reds, is do not use to light of tackle for these bigger Reds.\u00a0 If you fight them to long, there is a chance you can tire them out too much and kill them.\u00a0 Try a med\/heavy rod and a reel with at least thirty-pound mono or braid, this will help you get the fish in quicker; with a better chance of a good release.\u00a0 Check to see if the Drum has a yellow tag in its back; there are a fair amount of tagged Big Reds out there.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish mackerel and false albacore fishing can be great during September.\u00a0 The Spanish run the biggest (in size) all year during the fall.\u00a0 You can cast or troll for them and the fly fishing can be great as well.\u00a0 The Spanish\/albacore will be around the inlets, up &amp; down the beaches and near shore artificial reefs.\u00a0 Look for jumping Spanish and diving birds; that is where you need to fish. Casting small spoons like Big Nic Spanish candies on light spinning tackle will put some Spanish in the boat for you.\u00a0 Keep your eye peeled in local tackle shops for my new custom 1.5oz Big Nic Spanish Candy Capt. Jot custom color.\u00a0 One tip that has really helped my customers catch more of the Spanish, false albacore and bonito is using high speed spinning reels.\u00a0 I did not think it would make such a difference but it really has, speeding up the presentation gets more bites!\u00a0 I really like the Slammer IV High speed *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/4BFOrsT\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/4BFOrsT<\/a><\/strong> spinning reel for this application. \u00a0If you would rather troll, give a Blue Water Candy Daisy Chain a try on top and a #1 planner down deep with a Clark spoon.\u00a0 If you would like to give fly fishing a try, use a six to eight weight set up with floating line with a small minnow pattern fly or epoxy minnow pattern: my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Shark fishing will be good until late September.\u00a0 I see lots of different kinds of Sharks in September; Black tip, black nose, Fine tooth, Hammerhead and Tiger. Best baits for the near shore sharks are fresh dead\/live Bluefish, Mullet, and Menhaden. I use spinning and conventional reels for Shark fishing with 300+ yards of fifty- and sixty-five-pound Spider wire stealth braid.\u00a0 Rigging the baits; eight to ten feet of 80-pound mono (wind-on) leader; some of this leader will wind on to the reel. Connected to the 80-pound mono with a fifty-pound swivel, then two to three feet of #9 SS wire and a <a href=\"https:\/\/eagleclaw.com\/products\/trokar-non-offset-all-purpose-circle-hook\"><strong>Trokar Non-Offset All Purpose<\/strong> Circle Hook Hooks | Eagle Claw<\/a> \u00a0(I push down the barb for easy release) If you prefer Fly fishing, I like Striped bass flies in Menhaden patterns with 4\/0 and 5\/0 hook sizes.\u00a0 We use ten to twelve plus weight set ups; have lots of extra flies with you!<\/p>\n<p>Tackle run down: Slammer IV <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/aWD5L7j\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/aWD5L7j<\/a><\/strong> &amp; Authority <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/fSgjdIK\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/fSgjdIK<\/a><\/strong> spinning reels 2500, 3000, 3500 sizes or PENN Low profile (bait-caster) * See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/dAmWQIH\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/dAmWQIH<\/a><\/strong> 300 sizes for the Spanish mackerel\/false albacore (High speed series) Redfish and Flounder. \u00a0Sharks and Bull Drum (Big Drum) Slammer IV \u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/aWD5L7j\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/aWD5L7j<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0&amp; Authority <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/fSgjdIK\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/fSgjdIK<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Spinning reels 5500 &amp; 6500 reels with Rod Carnage III rods *See here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/7fpFxEt\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/7fpFxEt<\/a><\/strong> series, PENN \u00a0Fathom II 20LW *see here <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/gKQ67P2\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/gKQ67P2<\/a><\/strong> casting reels with Rod Carnage III\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/b7CyvzW\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/b7CyvzW<\/a>.<\/strong> Fenwick HMG Inshore spinning *See here\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/alnk.to\/biuF0uB\">https:\/\/alnk.to\/biuF0uB<\/a><\/strong> \u00a07\u2019 medium and med\/heavy for the Redfish and Flounder.
