Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. Spots, Spots, and more Spots! The piers are catching them, the surf and sound are full of them. Get your cooler and fill the freezer! If you want to know where to go, Try any place that is wet. Bloodworms and Shrimp are great bait as well as Fishbites and some folks use plain old redworms with sucess. A two hook bottom rig is all you need to catch a mess of these tasty little fish. The sound and surf are also giving up some nice Reds and specks. I’ve heard that Topsail inlet is full of reds but I’m still catching them along the waterway and the creeks. Lots of big Speckled Trout are cruising around too. Howards creek is always a good spot to start looking. Folks the Blues are thick everywhere and some of the ones I’ve caught lately are 4-5 lbs. The docks and bridges are holding some big Flounder and they are hungry. A fat Finger mullet on a Carolina rig can’t be beat around about any dock and who knows what else might grab it. If you find a dock holding fish don’t tell anybody but me! OK! Just tell people that you caught it in the water, right in the corner of the mouth! Offshore the fish are biting good too. Spanish,Kings and a few Tarpon are from the beach on out and the bottom fishing is hot too. Whether you bottom fish or troll find the structure and bait and the predators ain’t far away.
On the hunting side, I went hunting the other evening and was sitting up in my stand and 2 bucks popped out about 10 yards from me. Well I’m going to put it in print, I chocked and missed a 10 yard shot with my bow. I got Buck fever folks. All my years of hunting and I choked! AARRRGGHH! Well maybe I’ll get a second chance soon. It just goes to show you that anything can happen. Well thats it for this week folks. Be safe and take a kid with you!

Hi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. I’m going to go ahead and tell you this is going to be short and sweet this week. Redfish on the inlet bars and all along the waterway. Nice Flounder around just about any dock or structure. Specks are in the deep holes and are biting on the high tide. Howard’s creek and the swing bridge are hot. Don’t forget the dredge dock at the south end either. The creeks are full of Shrimp and baitfish and the falling tide at just about any creek mouth is about a sure thing. The spots are starting to bite a little better and should get even better over the next few weeks. Do you hear that Doctor D!
 The surf is heating up and the best bite seems to be when I’m not there! Late evening and into the night is the best bite. Lots of Blues around and are all sizes. Lots of Reds running the surf and inlet bars. Get yourself a beach pass and go to either inlet and relax for a while!
 Offshore things are still the same,the storm didn’t mess it up too bad. Folks all I can say is to go fishing. Don’t keep putting it off till it’s too late. Procrastination will insure you don’t catch anything! Don’t complain when you don’t have any fish to eat in February, cause I told you to go fishing. Oh, remember that they call it fishing not catching. If they ain’t biting where you are, MOVE!
 On the hunting side, I ain’t got one yet but I have seen a few. Between fishing and hunting my wife is getting mad cause my housecleaning duties are getting overlooked. Huh, imagine that!
Folks thats it for this week cause I got fish to catch and critters to hunt! Till next week, be safe and take a kid with you!
