Seahawk Inshore Fishing Report 1/19/10 Good Redfishing!!!
The redfish bite has really turned on in the backwaters with
the warmer weather we have had over the past week. The reds
are schooled up on the flats in good numbers and the sightcasting
has been good on the days with light winds. We have also found
some reds in the creeks and in some deeper pockets of water
around low tide. We caught around fifty fish out of one hole
on 1/18/10 along with two 21" speckled trout and a 16"
flounder. We had a triple hookup out of one school of redfish
on the flats and ended up with over sixty fish for the day.
My son Christian and his friend Brian fished on 1/16/10 and
caught around 30 reds in the creeks and on the flats. There
are also some large schools of reds in the surf along Masonboro
and Lea Islands and there are some sightfishing opportunities
to these fish when the winds cooperate.
The striped bass fishing is starting to pick back up in the
upper Cape Fear river with the warmer weather starting to
bring the water temps back up where the fish will get a little
more active.
There should be some good fishing opportunities over the
next couple of weeks for redfish, stripers and possibly some
speckled trout. Hopefully the long periods of cold weather
are gone and we will have some normal weather conditions for
the rest of the winter. I should have a good fishing report
for the next couple of weeks. Check out the photos from 1/16/10
and 1/18/10.
Thanks,
