Seahawk Inshore Fishing Report 6/5/10

The inshore fishing has been good on most days with catches of redfish, flounder, speckled trout, spanish mackerel, bluefish, and sheephead. We have had only one or two tough days over the past couple of weeks, so hey that’s not to bad. We have had lots of southwest winds lately, but we have managed to catch fish in the protected creeks of the lower Cape Fear where the wind does not affect the fishing.

The redfish are biting well on live bait and artificials. There are some large schools of reds are on the flats and the sightfishing is good when we get that combination of lower tides and light winds. We are also catching good numbers of reds blindcasting artificials along the creek banks and around oyster rocks in the lower Cape Fear. For those that are not comfortable throwing artificials, we can use the simple methods of using live baits on float rigs and bottom rigs.

Most of the flounder and speckled trout have been caught while fishing for the redfish. There are more specs and flounder showing up and we have targeted these fish along with redfish and sheephead lately. There are also some spanish mackerel and bluefish patrolling the inshore and nearshore waters of the Cape Fear area.

If you are looking for a fishing trip give me a call. Seasoned anglers looking for the explosion of a redfish or speckled trout on a topwater plug or for families and kids I can make it as simple as fishing in a farm pond.

Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks. These are just a few of the good catches we have had lately.
