Catching update
If you went by my boat, the title for today’s entry should be “no catching report”. My friend Alan and I were entered in the NC Flatfish Championship hosted by the Fisherman’s Post. We went all out to catch big flounder. Using big live baits and fishing only in spots where one or both of us had caught a “doormat” sized flounder before, it was all or nothing. Turned out to be nothing. Well we did catch some small flounders, lost a couple nice size ones and caught a full range of bait stealers from lizard and toad fish to baby groupers.
We heard reports from some of our friends of some nice flounder being caught at Sea View pier as well as some nice reds in the surf. We also spoke to some folks that caught some a few sheepshead and black drum. The water is very clear and the temperatures are dropping so the fishing will just get better and better.
More as the reports trickle in................
