Going down to fish out of Beaufort for our 4th year. Besides albacore and bluefish what other species are a possibility and where might they be ? What about king mackeral this time of year?

King Mackerel fishing in November is very good just off the Cape Lookout area. Northwest places has been very hot for the 20 to 30 lb., kings for the last few weeks. Northwest Places is about 8 to 9 miles just off the Cape and ablut 16 miles out of Beayfort Inlet. The eastside of the Cap0e Lookout shoals is a very good place to catch kings in November. The 30 Minute Rock, the East Rock, the 1700 Rock and the Atlas Tanker are some of the hotter places to fish on the eastside of the Cape.

Redfish are very good in November as well as speckled trout. The Cape Lookout rock jetty ia a hot spot for the trout and the marshes are good for the reds.

Just came back from a week of albie fishing out of beaufort so sorry for the delay in thanking you for a response. next year we may target reds out back and kings outside. meanwhile the albie fishing was so so- fish every day and only had to resort to chum one day (this past saturday). Never got a bait ball under us as others did but had one mega blitz with thousands of busting albies right close to shore to the west of the inlet near those multi colored condos. otherwise we cast about five thousand times and caught our share of fish. biggets we got was a boca 16 lb. not many big ones when we were there.
