Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks Capt. David with this weeks outdoors report. I finally found some Reds that were hungry the other day and we caught 4 nice fish. Now I won’t tell you where they were exactly but they were along the waterway down close to the inlet. I’ve also caught a couple of Flounder in the same area. They were small fish so we threw them back. The water temps are near 70 along the waterway and warmer back in the creeks. The Blues are everywhere and hitting about anything you can throw in the water. Some of them are running 2 or 3 lbs. I’ve also seen a lot of Black drum cruising around as well on the flats behind Lea Island. The surf has a lot of Mullet and Blues along with some Drum and Blowfish. The piers are getting the same. Offshore the kings are 15-25 miles out and the Gulf stream is hopping with just about everything biting. I love this time of the year!
On the hunting side now that Turkey Season is out the only thing to do is go fishing till September. I didn’t get a bird this year but maybe next year will be better. Now It’s not from lack of effort folks, Those d#*% birds just don’t know that they are supposed to come to you like they do on TV. Whats even worst is that I’ve seen more Deer during Turkey season than I did during Deer season. I had the priviledge to go up to Bertie county and hunt with some good old boys and learn from guys that know what they are doing on the last day of the season. We had one gobbling like crazy down in the edge of the swamp at first light. Well we got set up in a spot close to him and he flew down on the wrong side of the Beaver pond and we couldn’t get to him. Hey thats the way it goes, sometime you get lucky and most of the time you don’t! Well thats it for this week folks so remember, take a kid fishing and be safe! Capt. David

Hi folks, Capt. David with this weeks outdoors report. Things are continuing to get better as the water warms up. The ocean temp is around 67 degrees and it’s warmer in the sound. The bluefish are everywhere and are biting everything. Hey I wouldn’t go swimming with any jewelry on! The Reds are still a little slow to bite but it will get better. The schools of fish I’ve already located, and the word from some local commercial guys is that it’s going to be a banner year for them. The surf is giving up Blues,Mullet,Black and Red drum along with Blowfish. A few Bonita are still around and some Spanish are showing up. Farther offshore the Kings are around 20 miles and the ledges and rock piles are holding Black bass. The grouper are still out about 20-25 miles. Inside the trout are back in the creeks on the river and some flounder are being caught,they are still a little small but a few are keepers. Like I said the Reds are stirring but they haven’t got wound up good yet. The key word is YET folks. Nothing makes me feel any better than a nice Drum on light tackle in shallow water.
On the hunting side the last day of Turkey season is the 12th. I know that somebody got a nice bird somewhere so please send a photo so we can make you famous for a few minutes.I ain’t got one yet but it ain’t over folks. Then I guess we will just have to go fishing!Remember the new fishing license before you go too. Thats it for this week so be safe and take a kid with you. I hope this wind goes away too. Capt. David
