Get Ready

Greetings from the Cape Fear Coast,

It's been a while since my last post. Sick child, sick wife and sick me, my coaching gig and making my first surfboard have all kept me off the water for a while. Allen and I did manage to get out on the river one Saturday (blowing 20kts SW) and score one Striper and One Largemouth. Fishing is definitely on the upswing. Allen and I made a late night run Sunday night and managed to catch a Seabass and croacker. Over the last few weeks the drum bite has improved at Wrightsville Beach and some Bluefish have been caught off the pier as well as some Virginia mullet. A friend of mine landed some nice blackdrum @ CB inlet over Easter and i have heard of some trout being caught in the lower Cape Fear.

A little bird told me there were some shad up at Lock and Dam#1. There have also been some nice catfish caught downtown and if the Shad are at L&D#1 then there should be some cats up that way as well.
Offshore: There have been reports of Bonito and False Albacore out around Schoolhouse and WR4 and I feel sure the Seabass are still there as well.


Its all about to go wild here in the Cape Fear Region so stay tuned and I will keep you more up to date in the Future.
