Headhunter Outdoors Report

Hi folks, Capt. David here again. Folks the fishing is hot. The surf action is picking up with a little of everything. Blues, Red and Black drum, Flounder, Pompano, a few Spots and Mullet. The piers are catching the same with Spanish and Kings in the mix. Night seems to be the best time to try these locations now and you can go after work too. That should make the bossman happy!

Offshore, Kings from the beach on out and Spanish around the inlets and behind the breakers. If you do a dawn patrol and troll a 00 Clark spoon on a small planer you can usually catch the limit of Spanish. Black Bass are all over the Topsail ledges and the reefs. I’ve heard off a few Grouper being caught on some of the ledges out 10 miles or so. Mahi and Sails are still in the area and are 10-15 miles out. The deep wrecks and ledges are holding some nice Grouper too. AJ’s are usually close to structure too. Hook a AJ and I hope you got good tackle,because they ain’t nothing but fight. Thats what I like about saltwater fish, they got attitude!

The sound is full of Reds,Flounder and Specks. The Reds are scattered all along the waterway and up in the creeks. The docks are holding Flounder and Reds. Specks are roaming around everywhere and it looks like this fall is going to be a good one for BIG Trout. All these fish are in 4 foot or less, chasing bait. I’m also hearing of a few more spots showing up too. It ain’t the run yet so don’t get all excited. Remember the Spot Festival is coming up as well! Good food and great fun!

On the hunting side, DEER SEASON IS IN! I went Saturday morning and didn’t see anything and it was way too hot for me that evening. Let’s hope this weather will cool off some. Anyway Dove season is still in as well as resident Goose season. The short Teal season is coming in this week and I have seen some birds on the sound. Well thats it for this week so remember, Take a kid with you and be safe!
