Inshore fishing is on fire!!!

The inshore bite has been absolutely awesome. The flounder are finally showing up and we are landing good numbers of keeper size fish. There are some big ones being caught like the citation fish (5.7lbs) in the photo. We are finding these fish around the docks and bridges along with the deeper channels around the inlets. The best bait for the flatfish has been finger mullets rigged on a carolina rig. Always drift a big corn cob mullet for that bigger fish. Flounder are not the only gamefish that have been chewing, Red Drum have been biting really well. Some days have been almost epic. I had a trip thursday where we landed over 30 reds. I am still finding a few schools of fish with 100-500 fish in each school. I have also been doing really well blind casting into flooded bays all through out the marsh. The bait of choice has been the Top Dawg by mirrolure in the 808 or 27 color. The mullet are everywhere here so the strikes on topwater have been explosive. These fish have been taking gulp baits by Berkley and Swim shads by Calcutta. We also have been using live mullet under rattle corks. The suprise for us here have been the trout bite. We have been landing a few nice specks each trip. We are finding these fish primaraly around bridge pilings, I have also picked a few along the oyster beds just inside the local rivers and creeks. The specks have been hammering live finger mullets on carolina rigs. There are also some big spanish mackerel along the nearshore reefs and live bottoms. The fishing is good so give me a call and book your charter (910)-330-6999 or email: hallemincharters @yahoo.com
