Good Fishing with Good People

The inshore fishing has been really good lately with catches of red drum, speckled trout, black drum, flounder and bluefish. Many of the red drum are over the slot, drag screaming fish and a blast on light tackle. The trout are not as thick as they were but are larger fish, 2 to 3 lbs. We are picking up a few flounder mixed in with the trout and reds.

My thirteen year old son Christian has been doing really well in the waterway fishing out of his 16′ Carolina Skiff catching red drum, black drum, and bluefish. He is already an accomplished angler and is excellent at operating a boat.

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

It is time to go fishing. May is shaping up to be an outstanding month.

Thanks,
Jeff

Red Drum, Black Drum, and Speckled Trout. Good Fishin!

The inshore fishing continues to be strong with good catches of red drum, black drum, and speckled trout. The bluefish are showing up in good numbers and some of the larger ones 8 to 12 lbs are showing up on the inshore waters. There are also a few flounder and striped bass being caught. The virginia mullet and gray trout are still in the lower part of the Cape Fear river. The spanish mackerel and sheephead should be showing up in the next week or so and we will have a good variety of species to catch.

The wind and the speckled trout bite has kept me off of the flats lately. Hopefully we will get a slick calm day at low water to go and look for some redfish with the Ranger flats boat.

Check out some of the photos from the past couple of weeks.

Good Fishing Despite Windy Conditions

The inshore fishing continues to be good with catches of speckled trout, red drum, black drum, and virginia mullet. There are also a few small flounder showing up along with some bluefish. Some of the trout we are catching are weighing over 4 lbs. Most of the red drum we are catching 17″ to 18″ with a few that are in the slot. Most of the black drum are nice fish 3 to 4 pounders.

There are also a few small flounder and bluefish showing up.

It has been to windy for the past week to get on the flats with the Ranger flats boat and fish for reds, but I am confident that they are still there. Almost all of these fish are in the slot 20″ to 27″ with a few that are over the slot 27″ to 30″.

Hopefully the wind will lay out this week and the fishing will get even better. Give me a call if you would like to go. Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks.

Thanks,

The inshore fishing has really turned on this past week. On my recent charters we have had some good catches of speckled trout, red drum, black drum, and virginia mullet. On one trip we had an excellent catch of speckled trout with one that weighed over 4 pounds. There was also a couple of red drum and black drum mixed in. There was also a really big red drum or black drum that took the bait, exploded the water, screamed the drag and broke the leader on the bottom. What a sight! It still bothers me when I think about it.

I have also been seeing some nice schools of redfish 40 to 70 fish on the flats, but they have been reluctant to take the artificials we have been throwing at them. It is still alot of fun to see and try to catch these fish.

We have also been catching some nice black drum 3 to 4 pounders with a few reds mixed in around the docks.

Looks like it is going to be a good spring fishing season. Give me a call if you would like to go.

Thanks,
Jeff

The inshore fishing is picking up and should be getting better. There are some really good catches of nice size Virginia mullet. I had Cheri from NJ on half day trip with me on 3/6 and she caught 44. We are catching them on shrimp and Berkley Gulp crabs. There are also a some red drum on the flats,around the oyster beds and docks and in the inlets. There are also a few speckled trout in the inlet and in the river. The shad should be showing up at the lock and damn in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,

The fishing for me has been pretty slow lately. I have been managing to get out on the water a few days the past couple of weeks. We are catching a few small reds with an occasional larger fish mixed in. The best day produced seven reds. I also had one trip with four reds and a nice flounder.

The water temps are going up and spring right around the corner!

I will be getting out there a couple of days this week to see what is going on.
Check out the photos from the past two weeks.

The inshore fishing has produced lots of small redfish for me the past couple of days. On 1/26 I had Eric and Seth from Wilkes county on a cold and rainy day fishing in the Banshee. These guys were real troopers and toughed it out on a seven hour trip. These guys were excellent anglers and we had a blast even in these conditions. We caught twenty reds, all undersized but a lot of fun on light tackle. On 1/27 I had my son Christian, and his travel baseball coach Richard for about three hours of fishing. We caught fifty three reds, all but three were undersized but still a lot of fun. All of these fish were caught on artificials. Check out the photos, especially the sunset on 1/27. Sometimes it is not all about the catching.

Let’s go fishing,

There is still some really good inshore fishing going on recently despite the cold weather we have had lately. The speckled trout are around the inlets, and there are good numbers up and down the Cape Fear River. A few redfish are in some of the same places as the trout. The striped bass are in the upper parts of the Cape Fear River. I had one seafood charter last week that produced an excellent catch of seafood.

Let’s go fishing,

There is a lot of good inshore fishing going on lately. The redfish are schooled up on the flats and scattered around on the shellbeds and oyster rocks. The speckled trout are around in good numbers. Large virginia mullet are being caught in the lower Cape Fear River. Striped bass are being caught in the upper Cape Fear River.

The Ranger Banshee Extreme is ready for redfish and speckled trout in the shallows of Buzzards Bay and the Kenner Bay boat can handle the wide open deep water of the Cape Fear River.

Looks like it is going to be a great time to go fishing during the Christmas break. If you want to go please give me a call.
Thanks,

The shallow water redfishing has been really good lately. I have been catching good numbers of redfish in 6 to 12″ of water. Most of the time the water is too shallow to work the trolling motor, so I am poling the boat to get to the fish. We have found schools of 20 to 50 fish pushing up wakes and boiling up the mud. Some of these fish are over the slot and all have been caught on artificials. On the days that I could not get on the flats and sight cast to reds we have been able to catch them working the oyster points.

On Sat. the 24th I had David from Conn. on the Ranger Banshee Extreme. The day started out slow,cold, and windy. After about two hours of working the trolling motor we finally located a school of reds and he caught around thirty fish. Many of the fish were in the four to six pound range. David had never caught a redfish before, now he has thirty under his belt. He also caught two speckled trout.

If you want to go shallow water redfishing give me a call. It is an awesome experience to see and catch these fish.

Thanks,
Jeff
