Greeting from the Cape Fear Coast
Rumors of Bluefin tuna got me and Robert out on the water. So we hit some near shore rocks and ledges looking for signs of the big fellas. While out there we decided to drop for some sea bass and found these two nice fish. Also caught one nice 15" flounder all in 60' of water. The fish were all caught dropping jigs. We messed around searching for the giants and dropping on ledges, we found lots of cigar minnows, pin fish and ringtails. Looking for Blue fin is like searching for a Yeti, then around 2:00pm while moving to another ledge the ocean opened up and about 20 giants were blowing up, skying and slamming bait on the top. This was an awesome sight and as quickly as they showed they disappeared and were never seen again. We trolled for about an hour or so and found several large schools of bait but no giants. Although fishing was a little slow you gotta love a 20" sea bass and the sight of 6' Bluefins free jumping.
Booking trips for December and January Stripers in the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Sea bass while they last. If Bluefin Fishing from a 21' Seamark skiff sounds exciting to you give me a call.
Get out and Fish,
