The Cape Fear River Is Full Of Flounder

Getting better by the day! Whiting are the main game. Inshore, both piers are doing well with lots of small fish from Blowfish to Blues and sharks are plentiful. We want to welcome the new owners of the North Pier. We wish you the best of luck and hope you have plenty of pictures for us. Back to fishing. Down the river some decent whiting are being caught around the Bald Head Island ferry slip. Puppy Drum are up on the flats and it’s only going to get better. Offshore, Yellow fin tuna are around the Frying Pan Tower. Black Bass are also covering the bottom, some as big as four and a half pounds. From what I am seeing in the commercial Flounder catches, this is most definitely going to be a great year. The river is full of Flounder. It might be too soon to hook and line but live bait has started showing up. It is scattered but it is there. Small Menhaden are around the dredge pond at the back of the Island. Maybe it’s worth a try! Let’s get fishing! Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle 910-458-7135
