Southern Run Fishing Reports Carolina Swordfishing Date: January 23, 2023 The Swordfishing off of Wrightsville Beach has been about the most reliable type of fishing all summer of 2022 and so far into 2023 when the weather allows. Some nice fish have been landed this January from Ocean Isle all the way to Morehead. We caught this 250 pounder in early January and had a couple other bites as well. Give us a call to inquire about a swordfish trip!
