B & B Bait and Tackle Fishing Report

This is gonna be a short report because we’re in the middle of moving and will be a month or so before I can get a new one to you so here goes……… Flounders are getting bigger, still alot of small 13 and 14 inches being caught though. We’ve seen some nice red drum in the last few weeks, being caught in the river and waterway near docks. Pompano, blues, and some small flounder being caught in the surf. Whiting are a plenty too. Some trout being caught back in the river along with the red drum. The baits of choice seem to be mud minnows, finger mullet or cut mullet and shrimp. Over all fishings been pretty good in the last dew weeks, now if we could get the weather to cooperate we’d be doing good. Good luck fishin’ and remember, keep your worm wigglin’ Adam and Jennifer Burton B & B Bait and Tackle 1301 Bridge Barrier Rd. 910-458-4644

Well, I think the sharks have finally decided to head out to sea.Now maybe some of the door mats will start bedding up in the river. Had a few catches of nice size trout in the river and ICWW using live shrimp, gotta to hunt around the grass beds. Small door mat flounders are showing up in te 5 to 8 pound range around docks and piers. Red Drum are laying around oyster beds along the back side of Masonboro Island ……take your pick. Of course you have your spots, croakers and blues running. Finger mullets are finally showing up in good numbers, man were they scarce. We had some nice Sheepshead from 4 to 11 pounds in the shop last week. If you don’t catch it ,we’ve got you covered. Come check out our full line of inshore seafood.
