Despite the weather the fishing has been great! We have had some nice catches of redfish working the shallow flats in Buzzards Bay, behind Masonboro Island and around the docks at Carolina and Wrightsville beach. The speckled trout bite is going strong as well, and are mainly being caught in the creeks on a falling tide. They are small but there’s a few nice ones mixed in. The flounder are biting well also.
Speaking of flounder, I accomplished a goal that I doubt I will ever get to top my entire lifetime. Today during a charter we brought in a 13 lb 4 oz flounder! It was 31 inches long and had a girth of 26 inches. I could put my fist in his mouth! This almost doubles my previous record of a 7 lb 7 oz citation flounder! This is truly a once in a lifetime fish. I have been chasing a double digit flounder for the past 10 years or more and I figured I would never accomplish this goal due to my love of red fishing and the time it consumes. Flounder are mainly by catch while fishing for redfish these days, but maybe its time to target them once again! This fish was caught at Wrightsville Beach and was still flopping around when it was weighed in at the Bridge Tender Marina. It was caught on a live 4 inch finger mullet.
Also, please check out the two videos I made this week if you have not seen them already. They are:
ULTRA Light King Mackerel Fishing
Rigging Berkley Gulp! Shrimp and Jerk baits
Click here to view: http://reel-adventure.com/fishpics.htm They are just a few minutes long and require no downloading. Just click and it plays! Stay tuned for a lot more videos to come!
Check our website for new changes and more pics of the 13 lb flounder, speckled trout, redfish and a LARGE shark at http://reel-adventure.com/blog/
Be sure to stop by and check out our shallow water red fishing seminar at Boaters World this Wednesday at the Wilmington location on College road. We will cover what to look for, when to go, what to use, and will hopefully have you catching your own redfish year round!
Let’s go fishing!
