The redfishing has been good over the past couple of weeks when the weather cooperates. The reds are schooled up on the flats and the creeks of the lower Cape Fear and are hitting soft plasics on light jigheads. Thirty to fifty fish days are possible when we have light winds, sunshine, and temps in the upper 40’s and 50’s. Having that combination has been rare lately, but hopefully that will change over the next couple of weeks.

March is right around the corner and the spring fishing season is fast approaching. Hopefully the temps will get back to normal and I will have a good weather fishing report for the 1st of March. Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks.

Chris with a nice upper slot red on 2/3/10. Chris and me caught 50 to 60 mid to upper slot reds on one of the nicer days we have had lately.

Small muddy bottom holes like this one are holding good numbers of reds in the lower Cape Fear

A over slot red I caught on 2/12/10. We caught over thirty reds and left the fish biting on a cold, overcast day before the snow set in.

The redfishing in the backwaters has been really good when we can get the weather to cooperate. The reds are schooled up on the flats and in some deeper pockets of water in the creeks. There has only been a few decent weather days over the past couple of weeks to get out and do some fishing. On the days we have been able to get out we have done really well on the reds fishing soft plastics.

January 28th turned out to be one of my best redfishing days ever. I had Capt. Jot on the Banshee Extreme on a decent day searching for reds in the lower Cape Fear. We found some reds on the flats and along a creek bank and had caught about fifteen after three hours of fishing. We then searched some creeks and found a school of 25″ to 31″ reds in a small hole about three feet deep and caught around 70 fish out of that one small hole!!! We ended the day with around 85 redfish!!!

January 29th was cold and windy day and we ended up catching around thirty reds in a protected creek out of the wind. Two other days that I have fished over the past couple of weeks produced seven reds on one day and fifteen on the other.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I will have another good report for the next couple of weeks. Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks.
