Good Spanish/Blues Fishing In Morehead City, NC
Sunday: Trolled all the way up to the Cape Lookout Shoals from Beaufort Inlet. Only one Spaniard to show for it. Switched one of my lines to Yozuri Crystal Minnow. Then it was game on with the blues. I also caught a nice Spanish on that lure inside the hook. Monday: Couldn't pay a Bluefish to bite that minnow again, but I had all the Spanish I could handle on both gold and silver Clarkspoons. All fish were released to fight again another day. Nonfishing report: I ate at The Crab's Claw restaurant in Atlantic Beach. The service was a bit slow (forgivable, it was a holiday weekend) but the food was OUTSTANDING. I recommend the Tortugas Crab Dip appetizer. I also had the Harker's Island clam dish. Both were excellent.   Regards, Bri 10,000 Reasons To Love The Ocean! |

spurge0n,
First, welcome to the site. Great first post and looking forward to reading more...  Couple of things that may help you out... When Spanish fishing, this time of year, start with 00RBM spoons, I like to use gold one on cloudy days or when the water is dirty. When the summer goes on move to 0RBM spoons as the bait grows. Also, when trolling them, I will keep 1 on top, 1 on a 1&1/2 oz bead-chain weight and 1 on a #1 Old Salty planer. I run at least 30' of 30 pound mono from the planer or bead-chain. Do not use fluorocarbon as the Spanish will eat the knots...  Keep us informed and always feel free to post questions... |

Sea Draggin: Thanks for the welcome, it was nice fishing with you last year.
gottaflylee: Thanks a lot for the advice. I never thought about trolling a spoon on top, but I think I'll try it. Is that "Old Salty" planer you're talking about different than the SeaStrike? Jesse - good to hear that the Spaniards are still out there. I might try for cobia this weekend. Regards, Bri 10,000 Reasons To Love The Ocean! |

You can use 15lb mono with no twisty at all. I got a limit for our charter on Saturday morning.

Welcome on board spurgeOn,
Good to see you fish in an area my boys and I love and still have lots to learn about. Pulling spoons for those spanish and blues is a great way to enjoy a morning. Thanks for sharing... MM |
