The Red Drum (Redfish) bite has heated back up. We had some really good mornings this week especially around the high tides. We have been finding plenty of upper slot fish in the marshes. Not really finding big schools of fish but schools of 10-50 scattered throughout our area. Most of these fish have been falling for fresh cut menhaden or live shrimp. We have also landed a few on topwaters.
The flounder bite has cooled some but we are still catching a few keepers each trip. Most keeper fish have been staging around structure such as rocks and docks along the ICW. The bait of choice has been live mud minnows or smaller menhaden. We have also landed some nice speckled trout in these areas most fish have been in the 1-4 lb range.
The ocean has been pretty rough lately so I have not been able to get out to fish the ocean but I have heard from bigger boats there are tons of Amberjacks out there. Also there have still been some cobia landed close the the inlets. The big news is the Mahi-Mahi are moving closer with this southerly wind so when the wind calms I expect a good dolphin bite close to the beach. King Mackerel should be inching closer as well. The Spanish mackerel bite has still been pretty good along the beach front. The bigger Spanish should be here to along our near shore structure.
We have some days left for June so if you are in the Emerald Isle, Swansboro, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City area and want to do some exciting inshore/nearshore fishing call Capt. Robert Hall at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com
