Capt Joe Shutes Bait and Tackle report, Atlantic Beach 3-8

With the waters back in the sound and the beaches starting up to warm up some, the red drum bite is beginning to choose up. Even although you can’t maintain any speckled trout proper now, the speckled trout bite back in some of the creeks and deep drinking water areas are finding up as effectively. # 17 MirrOlures in the electric chicken coloration have been generating some great 2 to three lb specks. Headed offshore, the wahoo bite is even now there. If the winds will clam down sufficient to allow you get there, there have been good wahoo catches from down about the Swansboro Hole region and there are still blackfin tuna combined in with the wahoo.The North Carolina Marine Fisheries commission has created a new ruling of Speckled Trout. The recreational closure for speckled trout will keep in effect until June 15th, while allowing a 50 lb by-catch in the commercial fisheries or 10% of complete catch up to 50 lbs. Trawling for stripers will keep on till the remainder of the quota is caught up this season.
