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!
