The big new is that there are enough
false albacore from Cape Lookout down to Wrightsville Beach to give fly
anglers a reasonable expectation of a successful trip. Scattered
schools have been making late afternoon showings along the beaches of
Topsail and Figure Eight Islands. The largest concentrations have
been encountered 4 to 8 miles offshore. There have also been some
very nice (5 to 6 pound) spanish being caught mixed in with those offshore
schools of alberts.
Inshore, redfishing has been good from Cedar Island down to Cape Fear. Smaller reds are up in many of the creeks all along the ICW. Anglers working the docks and piers of the ICW are consistently taking redfish in the 25 to 30 inch class. On a trip late last week, I caught 5 reds and 8 flounder on brown over orange Clouses. The fish were concentrated in a deep hole at low water back of Cape Fear (Buzzards Bay) Speckled trout angling has been much more productive after dark. Small shrimp trawlers are working the inshore water hard. They keep the waters of many areas turbid. If you can find a deep hole adjacent to structure, along with some clear water, you might be rewarded by some very respectable speckled trout. Inshore fishing has been slow up around Oregon Inlet and Manns Harbor. The most productive fly angling has bee on the wrecks and towers offshore. Amberjacks, barracuda, and false albacore have all been available to fly anglers whenever winds and swells have allowed small boats offshore. Harry Hall sefly.com |
