The water is starting to finally warm up after a long cold winter and spring. Yesterday 4/27 I fished a 1/2 day along the beach and the bottom was covered with bait and fish marks. Sea mullet fisherman were doing well in these marks and had reported a few large red drum. We drifted in them catching grey trout,croakers, blow toads and a 30lb red drum. I look for the bluefish to show up next week and more red drum to be reported. Also cobia should start running in the Hatteras area and the amberjacks will be on the wrecks. Back in the sound a friend of mine reported speckled trout, flounder, bluefish and small puppy drum. That's the first of that in the sound as well. Each day with warming temps fishing will pick up and by May 10th it should be game on. Thank you, Devin Cage
