WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Frying Pan Shoals is an iconic offshore North Carolina fishing destination southeast of Cape Fear, where the complex hard bottom and ledge structure of these historic shoals concentrates king mackerel, gag grouper, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, and red snapper in some of the most productive waters off the lower North Carolina coast. Spot Features: Frying Pan Shoals is a series of offshore shoals and hard bottom areas extending southeast from Cape Fear in Brunswick County, North Carolina, marked by the historic Frying Pan Shoals Light Tower, one of the most productive nearshore and offshore fishing structures on the lower North Carolina coast supporting king mackerel, multiple grouper species, red snapper, and scamp. Seasonality: King mackerel and grouper (gag, black, red) are the primary targets at Frying Pan Shoals in Brunswick County, North Carolina, year-round, with king mackerel best in summer and fall and grouper most catchable in spring and fall. Scamp grouper are a notable species on the hard bottom ledges of this offshore area.
