Post Hanna fishing report
Sunday, September 07, 2008
Everyone I have heard from this week-end wants to know “did Hanna affect the fishing?” Well they say a picture tells the story and that is true in this case. Pictured is my buddy Alan with a one of many red drum he caught today.
He was fishing up at the north end of Topsail in some creeks and marsh just off the ICW. He said the water clarity was decent and the fish were definitely hungry. They fished this afternoon till dark and caught 5 keeper flounder and a whole slew of red drum, most of them in the slot. They had one about 30” long break off at the boat.
All the fish were caught on live finger mullet. They tried a variety of lures and soft baits including Gulp! but the fish wanted live bait, period. He said they couldn’t find very many shrimp in the creeks (the fresh water probably washed them out) but finding finger mullets was not a problem, they are in all the usual spots and plentiful.
Here’s a few more pictures.
