Affordable Charters Fishing Report

On the surf & on the piers no report. Inshore there have been a few speckled trout & red drum. At the mouth of the Cape Fear there have been steady bites of Virginia mullet, some small croaker & small black bass. No offshore report

Fishing tip of the week: Surf fishing is a little more technical than most people think. When you get to the beach before you set up you need to look for slews. These are formed by storms & rough water. Slews are like underwater ditches and this is where you want to fish. You will have better luck fishing in a slew than on top of a sand bar. Low tide is the best time to see slews. You can watch the waves break on the sand bars first. In the deeper water they will just roll & the water will look darker. Pick your spot & it will make a difference. Keep fishing & be safe.

Blast from the past: This past fall John & Tommy Smith caught a really nice stringer of Virginia mullet while fishing in the Cape Fear River.

Blast from the past. Something to look forward to for summertime fishing. John, Dale, & Dennis caught this nice stringer of flounder while fishing  in the ocean right at the back of the breakers.
