FISHING REPORT 8-30-11
Affie

We are recovering from Hurricane Irene but our charters will be going out of alternate locations. Two charters went out today. The ocean was still churned up and fishing was hard. We did have 3 white marlin caught and released. More news as we get it.

The Day After" | Get Busy | 08/30/11

The OIFC has fielded many questions about the bite after Irene. This picture of Seth Strickland's red fish caught 8-28-11 along with pictures on previous post ought to serve as an answer.

There has been a change in the red drum division with Ron Benetti taking the lead weighing in a 7 pound spot tail on 8-28. This puts Brandon Sauls in 2nd and Josh Wallen in 3rd.

8-29-11 ...... MONDAY ...... RE-OPENING TODAY! ......

The PIERHOUSE will re-open this morning at 8:00 AM and continue thru rest of the season! ............. NOTE: PIER FISHING will resume for BOTTOM FISHING and PLUGGING on TUESDAY morning. The STAFF of BIP and TOWN OFFICIALS will inspect the end and determine a safe limit that the public will be able to access. There is a piling toward the end that needs replacement (we will hopefully have that repaired within 30 days), which will allow an additional 100 feet for fishing. The approx. lost footage is about 225', and we will begin re-building to full length hopefully this winter in time for the SPRING 2012 season! .............. Unfortunately, we will have to cancel the 2011 BOGUE INLET PIER KING MACKEREL TOURNAMENT, so if you have signed up, please check with Patty for a refund. .............. As I have said before, we really appreciate everyone's calls and e-mails wishing us the best; it really means the world to us! ............ Also thanks to all of our STAFF for their tireless dedication to excellence! We definitely couldn't do it without them! ............. One more thing; we are flattered from all of the wonderful offers for donations to get the pier back in top shape! .............It really shows how much everyone loves this place! ........... Our answer to that is " We appreciate the offers, but please just don't stop coming! " ............ With all of you simply enjoying the pier, we will prevail and keep making this a favorite destination point for so many! ................. Thanks again and SEE YOU SOON! ................
