Molar,
I'll start with some of the answers. The inlet coming out of Soutport is deep and well marked. There are shoals close to the channel but container ships etc. use the inlet. You can go out a little cut close to the Caswell beach side where you can use a cast net a catch all the menhaden/bunker/pogies that you'll need to fish for kings. If there is a king tournament that weekend someone will be selling live menhaden from a pontoon boat nearby. Sabiki rigs work well offshore. Carolina rigs are the rig of choice for flounder in July. There should be plenty of "finger" mullet around to catch (with cast net) for live bait fishing. Also "Gulp" bait works well all year. The website you posted for reefs will be your best bet for flounder in July. The water is usually warm enough that the flounder have moved out to the reefs. Several are with in 3 miles of the beach.
speck fishing during July is not the greatest here.
Restaurants are all casual; but not many that are at the dock.
Water/weather conditions are usually stable unless like you said a hurricaine is in the area. Water is clear. Hope this helps.
