Seahawk Inshore Fishing Report 7/28/12 INSHORE FISHING NOT BAD FOR LATE JULY!!!

Saturday, July 28th, 2012

The inshore and backwater fishing has been fair on most days, good on some, and tough on a few, but we have managed to catch a few fish everyday. Redfish and flounder have been ther main course, with a few speckled trout, sheephead, bluefish, ladyfish, and jack crevalles. This pattern will more than likely continue thru August and then the fall fishing is not far behind. Can’t wait!!

The redfish are schooled up on the flats and the sightfishing has been good when the winds are light. On the windier days we have been catching reds, trout, and flounder in the the protected creeks behind Bald Head Island. In these creeks we can anchor down and throw live mullet or mud minnows on carolina rigs or drop the trolling motor, cover ground and cast soft plastics or topwater plugs. Either as been equally effective depending on what the anglers want to do. We are also picking up reds and flounder fishing marsh points in the bays of the lower Cape Fear area.

Thanks for reading the short report and hopefully I’ll have a good one the next time around. Check out the photos from a few of my recent trips.

Well it looks like the dog days of summer are approaching and the fishing maybe a little unpredictable over the next month or so. It has been a little hot , but has not been that bad on the water with the seabreezes we have had lately. We have had some good days lately along with some tough ones but that’s fishing for the month of July. On a trip today 7/7/12, we had seven keeper flounder, two redfish, and a 15″ speckled trout all caught on the Berkley Power bait Jerkshad, my go to artificial lately. On calm days we have been able to find large schools of redfish and have done well sightcasting artificials and topwater plugs to these fish. We have also been doing some awesome sightcasting to tailing redfish on some of the flood high tides we have had recently. On the days when the wind blows a little we have been catching a few flounder, speckled trout, sheephead, bluefish, and redfish on live baits and artificials in the creeks and bays of the lower Cape Fear.
