Yellow Fin Tuna Are Just Plain Thick

Well, we are finally seeing some good fish coming in. Whiting are in the surf and are no bigger than a pound at this time but they should grow fast now that the sand fleas are up (or near the top.) The Whiting in the river and off the end of Kure Beach Pier are a lot bigger. Blowfish are also showing up with some nice Croakers so things are really getting better inshore. Offshore, if you can afford the gas – Yellow Fin Tuna are just plain thick! I mean catching your limit is no problem if your arms can take it. Also, Wahoo are big. I have heard of some seventy and sixty pound catches. I hope we can catch up with the Charter Boats this week to get some photos for next week?s paper. Closer to shore, Boston Mackerel should show up around the Liberty Ship wreck and day now. I have heard of a few but not many. They should start schooling up and feeding on glass minnows and other similar tackle. A Maria Jig works right! Well, I am sorry that the only picture of fish this week is one with Harry and Huggie in it, but they did catch some small Whiting. Yes, Harry did catch his share for a change. Yes Harry I?m still mad about that Flounder last year!! Let?s get fishing! Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle 910-458-7135
