Affordable Charters Fishing Report

We have had some really beautiful days the past few days. This still doesn’t create fish. The water temperature is still too cold. There are still reports of a few red drum in the bays & off Masonboro Island. There have been a few small Virginia mullet at the mouth of the Cape Fear. They are doing some major dredging between Oak Island & Bald Head which might turn the fish away from that area.

Fishing tip of the week is on setting the hook for inshore fishing. I have noticed a lot of my charters go into the panic mode when they have a small bite. As soon as the fish comes in contact with the hook, don’t’ jerk jerk jerk, let the fish pull then set the hook. Keep the tip up in the air & reel steady. Enjoy the time it takes to land the fish. You will catch a lot more fish by not panicking when you get a bite. Keep fishing and be safe.
