Redfish Fishing!
Redfish Fishing!
May 7, 2024 Kure Beach
Great day of fishing May 7, 2024 with some great people. 3/4-day fishing trip was very productive, caught a large number of slot sized redfish and flounder. Luckily, the wind laid down a little during low tide and we were able to get into some skinny water creeks and find some redfish pushing on schools of bait. Great day of fishing!!

Inshore Slam!!!! July 12th
Inshore Slam!!!! July 12th
Jul 12, 2022 Kure Beach
Great fishing trip!! We were able to pull off the inshore slam and had some great weather. Started off the day throwing top waters in the backwaters and picked up some beautiful speckled trout. Seeing those fish come out of the water and smoke those jigs was awesome to see as the sun was coming up. As the tide switched, we moved out into some creek mouths and caught some nice slot red drum to fill the cooler. Although flounder are not in season, we caught some nice ones while jigging through some creek channels to end the day!!!

Great fishing trip today!! Ended up putting 9 redfish in the boat and 3 flounder on this 3/4-day trip. Five of the redfish were slot fish and will be tasting good on the grill later. Even got the chance to push back into some shallow creeks before the tide moved all the way out and connected with a nice redfish on the fly!!!!
