Spring Fishing Inshore Wrightsville Beach by Rick Bennett (4/05/2007)
[Wrightsville Beach,NC] Spring action is beginning to take hold. Some redfish and black drum are biting dead shrimp in the waterway and creeks. A few trout are biting artificials and live shrimp at the jetties and up the creeks. A rare small flounder might hit anything, but the big boys have not come in yet. Look for redfish and black drum action to pick very soon.

Gulfstream Report by Butch Foster (4/03/2007)
[Southport,NC] Today we were headed back to the Gulfstream with Gary Deeck, David Harrisrougher than ye! I immediately reeled in two more rods and fitted them with cedar plugs. The old standard in bluewater fishing did it again!! Soon, we were loading up one, two, and sometimes three rods on the cedar plugs with Blackfin Tunas. Tunas were flying everywhere in the boat, Bodie was jumping from fish to fish trying to make them hold still, and suddenly the slow bite was forgotten!!

Afternoon delight by Raymond Pugh (2/02/2007)
[Outer Banks,NC] Never bail when the weather looks so-so. With the weather forecast calling for rain, my charter decided to reschedule there trip for a dry day. Around eleven, the sky cleared and the wind fell out, so I told my seven year old to dress warm and we were off.

Fishing Update Lighthouse Rocks by Butch Foster (12/31/2006)
[Southport,NC] Fishing slow for bottom fish, the big news still is the bluefin tuna!!! We were headed offshore today with Steve Walters, Scott Walters,Marc Estridge, Richard Webb,, and Rob Trimmier. However, about ten miles out we decided with the Tower Buoy reporting 4 ft seas every 4 seconds and a stiff NE wind, that it was going to be too nasty and get worse offshore where I had originally planned to go.

Big Trout Biting Well by Rick Bennett (12/14/2006)
[Wrightsville Beach,NC] Fish are still biting...my last report this year. The Rod-Man is out of the water until next season. We are adding a trolling motor to the boat and some other neat "customizations" I know you will enjoy. Even though I have been "out of the water", I have been keeping up with what's happening on the fishing scene.

More Action Out Of Lightweight Fishing Gear by Mac Byrum (12/11/2006)
[Lake Norman,NC] If you want to add to your fishing experience go lite as it relates to fishing line and equipment. Lake Norman is the place to be for action as it relates to four to ten pound stripers. To add to this enjoyment, I suggest you use lite action rods and fill your bait casting reels with ten pound test line, with the drag set at four pounds.

Winter Fishing In Southport NC by Butch Foster (12/05/2006)
[Southport,NC] Winter fishing is always good here in Southport,NC. We are into the winter fishing pattern now. You have to pick your days between the cold fronts now, but, the fish still bite even in the winter time. On the inside, you can still pick up a stray flounder once in a while along with some speckled trout. The inshore reefs are producing some big red drum and grey trout and you can get some black bass also in these areas.
