The redfish bite has slowed since my last report. We are still picking up a few fish on Gulp Alive Shrimp, DOA soft plastics and live mud minnows on float rigs and carolina rigs. Schools of reds are on the flats and there are some good sightfishing opportunities when the wind cooperates which has been rare lately. Most of the reds we have caught lately have been in the protected creeks of the lower Cape Fear area. There are also some reds being caught in the bays and docks of the Masonboro Sound area.

We have also picked up a couple of flounder recently and are waiting the arrival of some other species such as black drum, whiting, speckled trout, and sheephead. These fish should be showing up soon and we are looking forward to a good spring fishing season. Thanks for reading the report and check out some of the photos from the past few weeks.

Thanks,
