Seagull Bait and Tackle Fishing Report

If you can name it you can probably go out and catch it right now. This has been a great year for Cobia. Now Tarpon have showed up. So far this has been a very diversified year with many different species coming out early in the year. Some species like Virginia Mullet are still biting hard on the South End of the Island. The river is producing Flounder and Puppy Drum. Some real big Speckled Trout are still holding up at the southern end of the river. Snow’s Cut is still giving up some nice size Flounder. The Carolina Beach Inlet is also a great place to catch a big Flounder. The surf is still full of Whiting, Blue Fish, small Flounder and Pompano. Both piers are catching Spanish Mackerel and Blue Fish on Got-Cha-Pugs. The game fishermen that fish from the ends of the piers are catching some nice King Mackerel and hooking that fast moving high jumping fish known as the Tarpon. Just offshore, Spanish Mackerel and King Mackerel will eat just about anything you can throw at them and Cobia are hanging around the buoys and reefs. The bite is on, don’t miss it!

One thing is for sure; this week was as good as the last one. On Monday, the Kure Beach Pier reported some King Mackerel. One as big as 33 pounds. Both piers also are catching plenty of Spanish Mackerel and small Blue Fish. In the surf, Whiting and Flounder have been feeding regularly along with Blue Fish and some Pompano. Shrimp and Sand Fleas are the best bait. Just beyond the breakers, Spanish Mackerel are eating anything you throw at them and Cobia are hanging around the sea buoy and piers. Cobias have been a little more plentiful than in past years and that’s a good thing. Further offshore, there’s plenty of King Mackerel and Dolphin. If you prefer bottom fishing which has been excellent. On the Flounder and inshore fishing. The great Silver Lady Fish or Poor Man’s Tarpon have invaded the river and are a blast on light tackle. Puppy Drum are also on the move in the river and sound areas. Flounder, well, there are plenty of small ones from the inlet all the way through to Snow’s Cut Bridge. On occasion there are some big ones. Keep fishin and releasin! Steve and Karen Labanec Seagull Bait and Tackle 910-458-7135
