Spring is here and as the days get longer and hotter, so does the fishing. Saturday I headed down South to fish the waters around Bald Head Island in search of some early season redfish. Water temps were in the low 50's and warmed into the upper 50's by mid afternoon. I worked the mud flats throwing dark colored D.O.A. shad tails on a red lead head due to the dirty water conditions. The electric chicken color seemed to work best.
Fishing was slow most of the day. Had two bites around the noon hour on a half low tide. Managed to land a 20-inch red and pulled the hook on another after he slammed the bait, ran off 10 yards of line, and made a quick turn to charge the boat.
With temperatures expected to be in the 70's this coming week, the water should start to warm up quickly and the fishing should really pick up. Reports are that the King Mackerel are about 40-45 miles offshore. The Atlantic Bonito should show up any day now with the warming water. Bluefish should show up in the next week or two and the Spanish Mackerel should be here the first part of May.
I have plenty of open dates available for the upcoming season, so give me a call and let's go catch some fish in 2005.
