Hi. My name is Michael and I just recently bought a boat and started trying to learn the bouy system to get to the ocean and what to do once I got there. From July to this point has been a sharp learning curve. I have read and researched every article on the internet to find the right bait, spot, and time to fish for the species that are running. Hopefully, the practice from this year will pay off next year.
In case anyone is in the area and has some tips, I fish out of Swansboro, NC.
Welcome to the site. You definately are in red and trout territory. Reds are biting right now on Bear Island. Park your boat and walk around to the ocean side and get after 'em. The trout fishermen are bit more tight mouthed. lol
