red drum at the Fort Fisher rock wall jetties

Article by: Mark Mayo

The red drum have been holding around the ICW docks and the rock wall jetties down at Fort Fisher.

Despite the weather, the weekend ended nice.  You would have thought gas was a dollar a gallon, anyway on with our local fishing report.  The river is still holding some nice speckled trout, choice of baits has been live shrimp & artificial DOA shrimp in green, white and new penny.

The flounder bite is starting to take off with some nice catches anywhere from 2 lbs to 8 lbs.  Live bait is best choice pogies, mud-minnows and cut bait on Carolina rigs.  Remember when fishing with live bait be patient let him eat it.
