Spring is here! It was a long time coming but warmer weather seems to have finally grabbed hold. The redfish have really begun to respond and have become much more aggressive feeders. There are small baitfish and shrimp in the water and you can see packs of redfish busting bait on the surface. Curt Lowdnes of Raleigh, NC boated this nice 9lb. redfish on a recent charter.
Trout usually reappear here in early March but the exceptionally cold winter delayed their return by a few weeks. This week anglers have begun to report catching a few here and there. Our water temperature continues to head higher and trout fishing will consistently improve as it does. Popping corks worked along grass banks and oyster beds work well.
We put the first flounder of the year in the boat on a charter this Saturday morning. These delicious fish are also becoming more active and returning after a few months absence. Fish structure like pilings and docks when targeting these fish.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
See you on the water!
