08-05-2011: Capt. Joe's now has a new page on the web-site. "Capt's comments and Events". .Check out the Capt's Comments and Events about the proposed sulfer plant that is headed for the port . The smelting plant has been stopped, but there could be a very large storage fascility coming for the dry pettetized sulfur which is highly flamable and will still have that terrible smell. The Offshore fishing for wahoo has started to pick up once again. pretty good catches of wahoo have been coming from the 90 Ft Drop, the Swansboro Hole area and places in between. The white marlin and sailfish bite is still pretty good. Dolphin have continued to be slow except for small bailer dolphin. Closer to the beach there are Spanish mackerel all around the Beaufort Inlet, but they are feedinig on expremely small bait and can be very hard to get a bite out of. There are also bluefish mixed in with the Spanish. Flounder fishing is picking up around the artificial reefs as well as insdie the Beaufort Inlet. There are still red drum back inside the marshes along with some speckled trout.
