The season is winding down but there is still plenty of time to catch a few fish. The surf is still producing some nice fish. Whiting are still feeding on shrimp from just south of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk down to the Kure Beach Pier. People are also catching some Puppy Drum up and down the beach along with Speckled Trout. Mike Robertson – owner of the Kure Beach Pier – has been really nice about leaving the pier open again this winter and they’re catching lots of Whiting from the end of the pier. Please keep the pier clean and remember, Mike’s doing us a great favor by leaving the gate open so please do not abuse the privilege. Offshore, the warm water is about twenty-miles out and that’s where you will find plenty of top water fish. Small Snake Kings and Dolphin can be caught on the bottom on some of the better ledges. You will find some decent Grouper and grunts. Up the river, we are still hearing of a Striper of two and big bucktails and stretch 25’s are the bait of choice. So when you’re done with all that holiday stuff, take some time for yourself and go fishing! Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle
