One thing is for sure; this week was as good as the last one. On Monday, the Kure Beach Pier reported some King Mackerel. One as big as 33 pounds. Both piers also are catching plenty of Spanish Mackerel and small Blue Fish. In the surf, Whiting and Flounder have been feeding regularly along with Blue Fish and some Pompano. Shrimp and Sand Fleas are the best bait. Just beyond the breakers, Spanish Mackerel are eating anything you throw at them and Cobia are hanging around the sea buoy and piers. Cobias have been a little more plentiful than in past years and that’s a good thing. Further offshore, there’s plenty of King Mackerel and Dolphin. If you prefer bottom fishing which has been excellent. On the Flounder and inshore fishing. The great Silver Lady Fish or Poor Man’s Tarpon have invaded the river and are a blast on light tackle. Puppy Drum are also on the move in the river and sound areas. Flounder, well, there are plenty of small ones from the inlet all the way through to Snow’s Cut Bridge. On occasion there are some big ones. Keep fishin and releasin! Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle 910-458-7135
