Seahawk Charters Fishing Report

The inshore fishing has been really good the past couple of weeks with catches of red drum, black drum, speckled trout, flounder,lady fish, and sheephead.

We have been catching good numbers of speckled trout on live shrimp and Doa shrimp under a popping cork. There was one day that we caught over fifty specs. We have also picked up a few black drum and sheephead while fishing for the trout with live shrimp.

The redfish bite has been good also. We have caught a few over the slot fish 28″ to 31″ sightcasting artificials on the flats, but most have been caught either blind casting artificials or using live finger mullets around oyster points. The largest redfish that was caught was a 33″er on a finger mullet.

We are also catching some really nice flounder on both artificial and live finger mullets. The largest flounder caught was 5.3 lb fish caught on a live finger mullet.

Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks. These are just a few of the good catches we have had lately.

The inshore fishing has been good lately with catches of red drum, speckled trout, flounder, spanish mackerel, and sheephead.

The speckled trout fishing has picked up a little over the past week and should only get better.

My customers have had several inshore slams recently and one guy had a triple inshore slam with 10 specs, 6 reds, and 3 flounders.

The redfishing on the flats fishing has slowed a little due the high winds and above normal low tides. I am confident the fish are still there but just harder to find in these conditions. We are still catching good numbers of the reds working the oyster points and marsh edges with both artificial and live baits.

I saw a 100 lb + tarpon jump six times last week between the second and third bay of the lower Cape Fear river. My son Christian also saw two roll in muddy slough and I also talked to guy that hooked one on a fly rod in that same area. I think we may do a little tarpon fishing over the next few weeks.

The inshore fishing is getting ready to get cranked up. Check out some of the photos from the past couple of weeks. These are just a few of the good catches we have had lately.
