About Stumpy Point Bay
Located in North Carolina, United States, Stumpy Point Bay is a saltwater venue where the tide chart matters more than the weather. Fish at Stumpy Point Bay feed hardest on the moving tide, with slack water tending to fish slowly. Wind direction also changes things — an onshore breeze pushes baitfish into the shallows and can turn a quiet morning into a short, frantic feeding window.

Fishing Techniques
- For Red drum
When fishing structure, cast upcurrent and let your bait naturally drift down.

Drift fishing with a live bait rig or slowly retrieving a jig along the bottom is a productive way to target flounder.

Look for areas with current and structure, such as points, oyster bars, and grass edges, as spotted seatrout often ambush prey in these locations.
