Fished yesterday morning, a half day with a group out of Winston Salem, NC. Started off the morning fishing on the flats outside of North River. A good sign of redfish, most of the fish were 18-25 inches, did catch two fish in the 30" range as the tide got up a bit. Once the boats started riding by, (so we wouldn't be standing out, like holding a sign up and saying here they are boys), we eased off of the drum and went point pounding in search of a spec. Fished mostly around middle marsh and the back side of shackelford island. The first point, nothing..........second point, nothing.........third point, BINGO. Plenty of specs, mostly small, 11-14 inch stuff, however it seemed that after catching about 15 fish, we would catch a decent fish. 2-3lb. range. When it was all said and done, kept 5 of those larger fish, and released all the rest.
The drum we caught earlier in the day, threw mostly Berkley Gulps. The "smelt" style on a 1/8 ounce gig head. We did catch one on a top dog mirro lure and a few on Fin-s. The black back/silver belly with gold flash did well. The trout,.........mostly on the "favorite grubs and fin-s baits", we did catch two of the larger fish on Mirro lures though. The ol' red back!
A great morning all and all, finished up about 12:00, just in time to come home and work on that honey do list.. Good fishing to all. Supposed to finally go back offshore tomorrow....will have report. Thanks. Capt. Brian.
