WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Masonboro Inlet on the New Hanover County coast separates Wrightsville Beach from the pristine Masonboro Island State Natural Area, creating excellent fishing conditions for red drum, flounder, speckled trout, pompano, and Spanish mackerel in the tidal rips and channels of this productive Wilmington-area inlet. Spot Features: Masonboro Inlet separates Wrightsville Beach from Masonboro Island in New Hanover County, North Carolina, with the tidal rips, jetties, and productive channels that concentrate red drum, flounder, speckled trout, pompano, and Spanish mackerel. Masonboro Island State Natural Area on the south side of the inlet is one of the last undeveloped barrier islands on the NC coast. Seasonality: Red drum and flounder are the primary inshore targets at Masonboro Inlet in New Hanover County, North Carolina, year-round, with red drum best in fall and flounder most abundant from September through December. Speckled trout (spotted seatrout) are best in spring and fall. Pompano and whiting are late spring surf fish.
