Inlet Dredging schedule

2012-01-23T12:49:08Z

I just received a copy of the 2012 Army Corp of Engineers dredging schedule for operations out of the Wilmington district. New River inlet is currently on the schedule but New Topsail Inlet is scheduled for dredging from June 27th through July 12th. This will be done by the brand new dredge - the Murden, which is die to be placed in service in February.

I did note that the Merritt is on “standby” all year (no scheduled jobs) so maybe if some more funding comes available they will be able to add New River to the schedule.

Night of 1/29/12 Yet another great January trip

4 hour trip last tonight. We limited out on specks and flounder by midnight. It does not get much better than that in January!! The biggest trout were 23-26”.

Killing the Winter Time Flounder Dead..Dead….Dead….....01/17/12

It took from 8pm until 3 am to get the fish last night. We had to work for them, but wound up with 16. I will take 16 anytime on a chilly January night. Don’t let ANYONE tell you that there are no flounder out there this time of year.

Another fun night of winter gigging last night. We started around 11pm and had our two person limit by 3am. Did not see as many big stud trout last night though. At home and in the bed by 3:30. I do have some open dates for gigging and winter redfishing if anyone wants to make a trip.

Another Great Night….1/25/12 NICE Fish

I had another great night on the water. We wound up with 16-17 flounder and 4 citation
size trout. 11-3am. A great way to spend a cold winter night.

Chilly Night of 1/24/12 Fun Times!

We had a very good night gigging last night. Had a catch of trout, flounder, mullet and black drum. Saw a lot of 3-4” spotted shrimp last night, I would have loved to have them in a pot of boiling water. Beautiful night to be on the water.
I do have open dates for these cold nights gigging and winter redfishing if anyone wants to give it a shot.

Winter Time Redfish…...1/6/12

2012-01-06T20:34:03Z

Hit the water today to see what the cold front this week had done to the fish. We landed 12-15 reds, one black drum and a flounder. All of the fish were in a foot or less. We saw 20-30 trout up to 5 pounds, but with the water temps in the low 40’s they would not touch a hook. You could lean over and touch them with you hand. All fish come on various Gulp! and 1/8 ounce jig heads, 12” of water or less.

Teamwork on the Reds!!

Took a trip to try out my new waders at Rich’s inlet. Caught the tide rising. And in it was a small school of drum that one boat, 2 dolphins and I were chasing around. I saw the boat pull at least one in,I am sure the dolphins did pretty well by the way the were zipping around.I finished with a total of 5 with a nice one in the top of the slot. Awesome few hours fishing a school of drum….Also, thanks to the boat for the teamwork of locating the school.
