Ocean Isle Fishing Center report 12-15

It was a great temperatures and fishing day in the Stream- mild southwest winds, 2 foot seas and the fish have been biting. I had neighborhood close friends Brian Strickland, Ernie and son Billy Crews and Tim Gallimore with me aboard the Carolina Cat. We cleared Shallotte inlet at six:forty and had lines in the water a mile inshore of the Black Jack just just before 9. I had set a few lines when the flat line went off and youthful Billy went to perform on the screaming reel. 10 minutes later on the first Wahoo was in the box- 35-40 pounds. We reset and worked the ledges in 160 feet with no motion. We continued circling for about an hour with small action. I then pushed offshore a bit and we picked up a ambigu, one False Albacore and 1 Blackfin. We marked the spot and circled again and picked up another Blackfin. It was around 10:thirty and from that level ahead it was game on. We had bite right after bite from Wahoo all the way until the time we picked up at 3pm. The dilemma was we stored dropping fish. I was getting good accomplishment pulling small Tuna feathers on my extended lines and the Wahoo seemed to like them also undesirable information is they are directly mono and although I missing four feathers, we did catch two Wahoo on them, so it was a truthful trade. The difficult component was the numerous sound, reel screaming hookups that would previous thirty+ seconds only to have the hook pull. Brian truly battled a Wahoo for almost 30 min’s, a massive fish to directly up and down just to inside of sight just before it shook its head and bit by means of the wire. I will not go so way as to say &quotit was one of individuals times&quot, but we did miss a ton of extremely nice fish- BUT, if you’ve got performed a lot Wahoo fishing, you know that is how they are. They are challenging to keep on the hook! Through all the trials and tribulations, we did manage to boat 5 more Wahoo, all in the 35-forty pound course. Towards the stop of the day it was exciting to notice the water which had been a blended blue-green grew to become much greener and colleges of Houndfish moved in – as this occured, the bite slowed- but the good news is it was time to go property. Anyhow, it was a very good bite as right after ten:30 we did not go more than fifteen-20 min’s with no a sound reel screaming operate. I am nervous to get again out and do it yet again. Also, Wendell Barnett and Tracy Huggins had been fishing beside us in Wendell’s boat and they caught their four fish limit and headed home by noon — Tracy noted 1 in the 70-eighty pound class, but I have not nevertheless recieved the verified bodyweight. If it has my lure hanging in its mouth I want it back again!

On another take note, the Kingfish men identified some actually Large kings right now in the vicinity of the Tower. I received reports of quite a handful of in the 40’s and a few in the 50’s. It is a large ocean out there, but if you can uncover the fish, they are nonetheless out there.

Poor information is our batting common would probably have us sent again to the minors. We ended up with 6 hoos and two blackfin and I misplaced count exactly but I’m in the vicinity of specific we had near to 20 solid, drag screaming wahoo bites that would mysteriously arrive unglued. Anyway, I will publish report and few pics later on this pm or tomorrow. Following decent temperatures day u may want to be out there. Fished black jack all day.
