The inshore fishing has been fair lately with the exception of redfish on the flats which has been good when we can catch the conditions right. The reds are schooled up in the shallow bays and hitting topwaters and soft plastics. We are also catching redfish blindcasting artificials around oyster rocks and shellbeds and by fishing live menhaden, mud minnows, finger mullet, and shrimp around docks, rockpiles and other structure.
The flounder bite has improved over the past week with some nice fish being caught in the Cape Fear River. We are catching the flounder with live menhaden on carolina rigs and picking up a few while blindcasting artificials for the redfish.
We are also catching a few speckled trout, sheephead, black drum, and large blues. The spanish are right off the beach and we will be fishing for them when the ocean is calm enough. Check out the photos from the past few weeks. These are just a few of the fish that my customers have caught lately.
Thanks,
