Speckle Trout & Flounder

Inshore fishing is improving every day,lot’s of menhaden in the river,and waterways,makes getting live bait easy. I fished the rock wall just south of Fort Fisher the last couple of days,catching flounder,speckle trout,and lots of bluefish. Best bait is the carolina rig, with live menhaden anchor or drift fishing will produce fish.
