&quotFish report&quot | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | 09/26/eleven

Ok — here is the offer. I know a good deal of you have been seeing our web site waiting to go fishing till the fish started out biting. I do not half blame you, though it does set a whole lot of pressure on us to find fish all by ourselves- a lot of floor to cover. The biggest point slowing a lot more fishing has been the absence of Kings it has been difficult fishing for them this Summer. But, here is the fishing deal appropriate now that will ideally get you moving and on the drinking water

We have been fishing100 feet to uncover Kings. I fished that depth Saturday and had exciting with Wahoo and Sailfish, but no Kings. I was disappoined in my hard work, but also encouraged as I identified out that there has been a great bite in 50 feet of h2o at spots such as the 390s…. Also there has been a seashore bite going on close to the Cherry Grove pier. Up towards the Cape Fear the bite has been slower with a couple of fish coming off Yaupon, but the drinking water is rather dirty up that way and action is slower. This will change.

Further offshore, the Gag Grouper bite has started to get off. Fishing 60-80 feet has been generating limits of Gags in the ten-twenty pound variety for our current eight and ten hour charters.

There is a ton of bait alongside the seaside as nicely, so reside bait fishing really should not be a difficulty.

That’s the report. The ocean is coming to existence and it is time to get on the drinking water. This coming weekend is the US Open up King Mackerel Tournament, so arrive on down and fish the tournament — cease by the OIFC for all your fishing desires, we have them.

See you right here.

Fall Fishing & Weather; Nothing Better around Wrightsville Beach-Report

Fall is making an attempt so really hard to show up all around the location but, with these climate adjustments arrives ‘weather’ and for the last weeks it’s been in the form of rain. One point I can tell you is that this is no diverse than most falls about this location we get rain all around here in the fall. Some years its light some decades it’s heavier, every single period it diverse and that is a single of the causes I dwell right here, we (most decades) have seasons right here! Rain is not usually a undesirable factor you just have received to regulate how you fish when the drinking water will get stained form fall rains!

Nicely the very good information is given that my previous report 1 of my favorites is starting up to present the good’ole Speckled trout and I love fishing for these men! A cool early morning in the fall fishing for Speckled trout is one of the several highlights of my fishing period each year! They are a problem to catch, but some days you can catch over 100 and you never ever know just what type of day you are going to have when fishing for Speckled trout. Trout fishing will only get much better as the neighborhood waters neat down this fall.

I love to catch Speckle trout on synthetic lures and you can catch huge Speckled trout on lures, yet another reason they’re fun to catch. My easy break down of what lures I use are by latest circulation and water death. I favor baits like MirrOlure’s 17MR, catch 2000jr and Sebile’s Flatt Shad in waters of two to 6 ft deep with light or no current. In deeper waters of 3 to fifth teen as well as with or with out current I favor MirrOlure’s 18MR, 52M &amp MR and Sebile’s Stick Shadd ninety, 114 series. I will use grubs in any drinking water death or existing when trout fishing, but I’ll alter the weight of the jig head for the loss of life or latest of the drinking water I’m fishing. Attempt lures like the Berkley Gulp Fire Tail 3” shrimp or the Ripple Mullet for Speckled trout. One more lure that operates well for trout is Saltwater Assassin’s Sea shad collection, try out colours like chicken on a chain, chart/diamond, copperhead or 10w40 with lime tail.

The Bull Reds are really starting up to show up in the ocean on difficult bottoms and close to the inlets. You never know when you might hook one of these giants! When I fish for Bull Reds, I use clean cut or are living menhaden and mullet. I use fish finder rigs with 8/ or 9/ circle hooks and eighty pound Berkley Massive game mono leaders. Don’t neglect to preserve your drag tight when making use of circle hook so they will do there job. One suggestion I can give you when fishing for Bull Reds, is don’t use to light of tackle for these even bigger Reds. If you fight them to long, there is a possibility you can tire them out to significantly and kill them. Check out a med/large rod and a reel with at least thirty pound mono or braid, this will assist you get the fish in faster with a much better possibility of a excellent release. Check out to see if the Red has a tag in its back again there are a honest quantity of tagged Bull Reds out there.

This has been one particular of the better Flounder years we’ve seen all around this region in a whilst and for that reason I’ve operate a lot of Flounder trips this time with good results. 1 issue we have seen this year is that the Flounder fishing has been great inshore as effectively as the ocean this time, offering us a lot of options to flounder fish. Reside bait as effectively as synthetic lures has put lots of flounder in the boat for us. Carolina rigs with Eagle Claw L42 #1 size hooks and forty pound obvious mono leader works well. Small finger mullets, tiny menhaden and mud minnows are our choice are living baits. Berkley Gulp Jerkshad in 5” &amp 6” hues pearl, chart pepper neon or new penny work effectively too! The flounder are hanging all around inlets, channel drops and creeks inshore. In the ocean around shore synthetic reefs, ledges and tough/dwell bottoms are holding some wonderful figures of flounder too.

Fishing Gear I use:

Reels: Speckled trout and Flounder: Penn Battle spinning in measurements 2000, 3000 &amp 4000 measurements. Bull Reds Fishing reels: Penn Battle 6000 &amp 7000, Penn 320LD and Torque 12 &amp fifteen. Line: Spiderwire Ultra-cast and Berkley Fireline braid in 8, 10 and fifteen pound. Bull Reds Line: thirty or forty pound Berkley Large Video game Mono. Rods: Fenwick HMG GS 70M-MF. Bull Reds Rods: Hideous Stik Tiger Lite Jigging sequence or Penn Torque jigging series in thirty-80 course spinning and casting. Leader materials: Bull Reds Berkley Large Game mono &amp Fluorocarbon in eighty to one hundred pound. Stren Fluorocarbon leader material in Tannic and Gunsmoke tints tannic for river and stained waters, gunsmoke for obvious h2o programs.

Although it has been a wet day we have had some great fishing studies. Nearshore we have had catches of blue fish and spanish mackerel. The offshore fleet had a really productive day with nice catches of blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dolphin, and even some bigeye tuna! As for the sportsfishing offshore we had releases of white marlin and even some sailfish. Considering that our boats have to fish from various locations we be dependent on them to send us images of their catches, so ideally we shall have images tomorrow.

In addition to the yellowfin bite offshore there have been loads blackfin tuna out there for people who chose to target them. Nearshore we had catches of spanish mackerel and bluefish. There ended up some great pictures taken by some of the nearshore parties right now, maybe we will get some of those pictures sent in.
