Lately I have had a hankering to try the Carolina Beach area for some doormat sized flounder. Every year we hear about big flounder being caught there. We catch some nice ones here too, don’t get me wrong. Its just that with a couple of tournaments coming up in the next few weeks I thought I’d try that area.
It takes a while to learn a new area, there is lots of water in the CB & Snow’s Cut area. Not to mention the area of the Cape Fear River near Snow’s cut. My buddy from Sneads Ferry, Allen, and I headed out about 8 am and ran the ditch down there. We founds lots of nice looking spots. But we didn’t find lots of fish :( We boated one nice fat Speckled trout and a 15/16 inch flounder at the side of the boat who got off before we could get a net underneath. That was it. But we had fun exploring new areas. Maybe we’ll try again some day, when the grass seems greener again…....
