Hi Folks, The weather is allowing me to finally post a report. Prior to recent weather deterioration fishing has been very good and by the weekend hopefully said fishing will get back on tract. Now here's my report: INSHORE: Reds and flounder biting, mostly on live bait which is showing up in good numbers. Fish near heavy structure; falling tide for reds and incoming tide for flounder. NEAR SHORE: The Spanish macks have shown up along with some big bluefish. Trolling and casting/jigging will get the fish. OFFSHORE: Kings and false albacore are biting from 10 to 25 miles. Trolling live bait, ballyhoo or spoons will work. GULF STREAM: No current reports. Last week I was lucky to be part of a trip on the "Obssession" out of Pirates Cove where we caught one wahoo, 10 mahi, and 3 yellowfin. CAPE FEAR RIVER: Reds, flounder and trout are biting. Fishing is good in the southern river up to Wilmington. UPCOMING: Look for the bigger flounder to start showing as June arrives. More kings and mahi for offshore anglers by mid- June. Until Next Time...Lets Go Fishing!!! Capt Rick Bennett www.rod-man.com www.custom-fishingrods.com [email protected] 910-520-7661
