Hello everyone. We are having a crazy NC winter. It will be hot then super cold then mild then cold, you know the story. Anyway during all of this we have been catching redfish, black drum, and a few trout. Most of the fish are being caught on berkly gulp shrimp with a 3/8 ounce jighead. Color does not seem to matter, but I have been using a lot of white. Dead shrimp has also produced lots of fish as well. Come on down and get in on this great winter fishery. No matter you skill level, we can catch fish and have a nice day on the water. Give me a call at 910-264-1807, we will look at the weather and tides and pick the best day for your trip.

Buzz with a flounder.. A cold winter flounder. He still hit a gulp.
Buzz with a nice speckled trout. Caught again on Gulp… That completed his Cape Fear Super Slam of Redfish, Black drum, flounder, and trout all in one day of fishing. We boated lots of redfish this day as well.
Casie with a nice black drum she landed on fresh shrimp. She went on to catch lots of redfish as well.
Cassies brother-n-law with a 24inch redfish he landed on Gulp. This was on one of the warm days. We all love t-shirts in January.
Casie’s dad with a nice black drum. Lots of fun in the winter Carolina Beach sun…

Matt and Brittney in a romantic red fish pose. How sweet!!
My buddy Dave holding a winter redfish. Dave, John and Larry fish with me several times this year. This was Daves day. He put a hurting on the fish population.
Preston struggling to hold up this monster of a redfish, not really but we still had a blast. It was cold and cloudy but we managed to catch a few reds and have a fun day on the water.
At first we though this was a dog, when we got close it became a huge red fox. One of the biggest I have ever seen. He was shell combing on the backside of Bald Head Island.
The pic is blury, It is a tag in one of the several redfish that Buzz Parker landed during his day of fishing. I can’t wait to see where he came from.
Full moon pic from Jan. 24. Calm night just before going trout fishing on the beach. You have to love winter night fishing to understand.
