Greetings from the Cape Fear Coast,
I fished as a guide in the Cape Fear
Redtrout Celebrity Classic October 15-16. I guided Bruce and Steve Campbell to some 3 speckled trout and 4 (3 of which were under slot) red drum not enough to win but enough not to finish last. It was a good time and we raised a lot of money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I
prefished the whole week and the drum fishing was great in the waterway. All drum caught were slot fish and hit DOA
Terroreyz or Red Magic
Spinnerbaits.
Fall is pushing in as a cold front passed in yesterday afternoon and the temperature dropped about ten degrees in about an hour. Fishing has been getting better and better every week. I

went surf fishing yesterday morning for an hour and landed one keeper flounder and one shorty at Crystal Pier. Lures of choice today were a gold
Mirrolure and a white 4" X-rap. I talked with a man that was leaving and he had landed four drum and one black drum during the falling tide. He was fishing live sand fleas. I got there at the end of the falling tide and most of the water was already on the inner bar. There were some nice troughs and holes that should make the late rise and early falling tide more productive with small tackle.

I went back this morning and caught one nice Jack
Crevalle and a 19" Speckled Trout. The jack hit a 52m-54
Mirrorlure and the trout hit a 4" Calcutta
Flashfoil swim bait. The drum were not here today but they same man was there and he was crushing
the Virginia mullet on
sandfleas. His buddy landed a mullet over 2#. They were nice enough to allow me to share some cooler space to ice down the trout. At 10:
ooam I called it quits and will wait for the rise this evening to hit it again.
I am currently booking trips for November sound and surf fishing trips and if you want to test your angling skills for some Cape Fear
Stripers give me a call.
Get out and enjoy the Cape Fear Coast,
