Slot Red Drum for the effort

Some Cape Fear Striped Bass were willing to play for a while yesterday.  The trip started around 1 o'clock and within the first 30mins Glenn had a nice one.  After casting on several different spots we decided to give trolling a chance and Jesse got one.  We went back over the spot and Brian (not pictured) got one.  We threw down the trolling motor and ended up with 6 Striped Bass and one Red Drum for the day.  If the fishing on Wrightsville Beach slows down the best bet is to hit the Cape Fear River.  You never know what is waiting.  And that cold snap turned them on for sure.  Saw lots of bait and fish busting the surface in places as the sun was setting.  Call me and let's go fishing.

Winter Has Hit Wrightsville Beach

Winter is offically here in my book.  Christmas tree is up and the ocean water temp is below 60 degs.  I have watched the ocean temperature, at Wrightsville Beach,  fall over the last 3 days and I don't like it.  This usally means it is cold outside.  And it has been cold over the last three days mid 40's during the day and mid 20's overnight.  O, but the good things about winter are the boat ramps aren't as crowded and Striped Bass seem to love the first few cold snaps.  The redfish school up in the surf and speckled trout ball up for the winter.  Sea Bass stack up thick and the Groupers are close to the beach.  Get out there if ya dare.
