Atlantic bonito have been caught at the near shore AR’s. Bluefish have been plentiful.

Article by: Capt. Rick Bennett

Hi Folks,
We have had some nice moderate temperatures early this spring, but the winds have been anything but moderate. Water temps are in the mid-60’s but it is blowing a near gale. Here’s my report:
INSHORE: Black drum, red drum and a few flounder are biting fresh bait and artificials. The best bites have been in the creeks, the waterway and the inlets.
NEAR SHORE: Some Atlantic bonito have been caught at the near shore AR’s. Bluefish have been plentiful.
OFFSHORE: More bonito in the 10 mile areas.
GULFSTREAM: No reports due to wind.
Cape Fear River: Trout and reds are biting in the lower Cape Fear.
UPCOMING: Look for fishing to explode when these fronts and winds settle down.
Until Next Time… LET’S GO FISHING!!!
