It’s finally here. Warm weather and some good fishing! Let’s start in the river down towards Bald Head Island. There are plenty of Whiting and some Puppy Drum in the waters. I have heard there were some Spots and Croakers also feeding in the same area. Up the river a little closer to home there have been a few Flounder taken but none were big enough to keep. Around the Carolina Beach Inlet people are catching some Speckled Trout, Puppy Drum and a few small Flounder. So far a big improvement from last week. Both piers are catching Whiting in good numbers along with a few Black Drum. In the surf, Whiting are feeding on shrimp and sand fleas and a few Pompano are showing up in the suds. They are still rather small but that will change real soon. Slightly off the beach they are catching some Trout and Boston Mackerel pretty regularly. A little further offshore at the twenty-mile range you can find some nice King Mackerel. If you’re ready for a Gulf Stream trip, well then you can count on catching some Tuna and Wahoo. On the bottom around the tower there is plenty of Black Sea Bass, some grunts and even a few Grouper. Keep fishin and releasin… Steve and Karen Labanec
