Seahawk Inshore Fishing Report 2/2/11 GREAT REDFISHING!!!

February 2nd, 2011 Posted in Fishing Reports | Comments Off

The redfishing has been great in the Cape Fear backwaters, especially on the warmer days with light winds. Most of the reds have been caught by dropping the trolling motor, searching the creeks, and locating schools by throwing DOA and Gulp baits into deeper pockets of water around low tide. Some days it takes a little time, but we have been able to locate the fish everyday we have fished over the past couple of weeks. Once the fish are located we have pulled some impressive numbers of middle to upper slot reds out of some of these holes. There are also a few small ones mixed in.

I haven’t been striper fishing, but I have heard some good reports on stripers in the upper Cape Fear river. The redfishing has just been to much fun to pass up.

Looks like we are going to get into a normal winter weather pattern for the next week and the redfishing should continue to be good. I’ll be out there on some trips searching them out so I should have a good report for the middle of February. Check out the pics from some of the trips from the past couple of weeks.

SEAHAWK INSHORE FISHING REPORT 1/16/11 We’re still catchin’em !!!

The redfish bite is still going strong and should continue over the winter months as long as we get into a normal winter weather pattern. We have had some nice days lately with sunny skies and warmer temperatures. This is key this time of year and catching big numbers of reds is a good possibilty when the conditions are right.

The reds are schooled up on the flats and creeks of the lower Cape Fear area. Most of the reds are middle to upper slot fish with a few over slot and small ones mixed in. We are catching most of the reds blindcasting artificials and also picking up a few sightcasting when the winds are light. Fishing mud minnows on light jigheads is also a great way to pick up reds when the fish are finicky.

Hopefully the weather will return to normal and we’ll get some good fishing days in over the next week or two. I should have a good report for the first of Febuary. Check out a few of the photos from some of the recent trips.
