OIFC fishing report 10-10

The Response&quot | Get Hectic | 10/ten/eleven

The OIFC constantly has individuals asking what is biting in shore. In Todd Ferber’s case the response is a ten.three lb flounder! Todd caught this large flat fish at the mouth of the Shallotte River employing finger mullet. He also had a great 26 inch red drum.

This is the greatest flounder I recall reporting about in recent memory. Many thanks for the report Todd.

&quotOctober at the seaside&quot | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | ten/ten/11

To all our pals back again inland, people you are lacking a single of the most magnificent moments of the yr at the seaside. This prior weekend was stunning and you ought to have been right here. Bluebird sky, low humidity, excellent temperature, pleasant northeast wind…it do not get no greater than this. Correct, it blew quite robust keeping offshore boats in shore, but our Brunswick County beaches confront south, so any wind out of the northern quadrant is blocked by the land and therefore it is flat correct on the beach…which is where the kings are this time of 12 months[or will be shortly]. This week, it really is fairly messy right now, but all the rain clears out by Wednesday, a weak front happens thru Thursday, and the weekend seems magnificent for the beach King bite to commence for real. Also the oyster festival is this weekend so if you tire of catching fish, there are entertainment options. As a smart ole buddy mentioned some decades back….Oct only comes once a calendar year, and you don’t know how several a lot more Octobers you will have. Obtained the communication? Arrive on down and get pleasure from this magical time of 12 months at the beach.

&quotHappy Birthday!!!&quot | Tiberias – 22′ | ten/08/eleven

Debra suprised her husband with a 50 % day charter with us nowadays. Debra and David individual a campsite in Sea Mist campground. They have fished around the campground for a number of years with little achievement. Nowadays was David’s birthday and Debra needed to adjust that accomplishment for him. No pressure Captain! The wind was blowing rather challenging and forecasted to get even worse as the day progressed. Conditions have been tough to say the least. We pulled up to our initial spot. I baited David’s hook with a dwell shrimp and manufactured the 1st cast. I handed David the rod as I explained what to assume and how to set the hook if a fish had been to strike. I went to bait an additional hook for Debra and I heard David’s reel straining below the stress of a good redfish. David could not imagine it! Following decades of trying to catch a red drum, he had eventually succeeded! We landed the fish, took some photographs, and received set back again up. A number of 16 to 17 inch fish commenced hammering the live shrimp. Debra and Joyce both obtained a sense for the pulling electricity of a redfish. As I was preparing one particular of the females rods, I noticed David’s line shifting up existing. David you received one? He tightened up and set the hook. The Quantum Catalyst 30 began begging for mercy as the drag was screaming off the reel. Straight below the boat very clear on the other facet. Right after a few minutes David landed our 2nd slot fish of the day. A stunning 5 pound 25 inch fish on 10# test tackle. Amazing! We are not carried out however. The redfish bite slowed so we moved on wanting to come across David a flounder. It failed to get lengthy to catch his initial flounder and David has the feel of the bite figured out now. Content Birthday buddy! Many thanks for fishing with us! See ya on the water!

Also a few images from scouting this week. In spite of the windy circumstances, it is Fall and the fish are biting.
