First I would like to say Happy New Year. Well folks as you know It has been quite some time since I posted a report. On Dec. 11 my wife and I welcomed our first child Lauren Tyler Hall into the world. She weighed 6lbs 15 oz. and was 21 1/2" long. She is now doubt a keeper. She has stole the show since she arrived. My wife and I are so blessed and we thank all of you with your kind words and support. Now to the fishing part, the fishing has also been very good. The past January's have been epic fishing for Redfish (puppy drum) in the marsh and in the surf zone. Well the January has proved to be no different. We have been finding massive schools in the surf zone with 500-2000 fish in each school. These fish have been ranging from 25"-32". We have also been finding huge schools of fish in the marshes with 100-200 fish in each school. These fish have been running on the smaller side at about 18"-27" but still are a blast on light tackle. The trout bite has been extremly slow. I have had a few trips to the Neuse with very little activity. But I expect the bite to pick back up as we get into the spring months. I have not yet heard of any trout kills with the freezing temps. we have had so if that holds we should have another trophy trout spring. The fishing is good and I have plenty of openings so give me a call if you are interested. Call Capt. Robert Hall (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com
