Cape Fear Guide Fishing Report

Carolina Beach inlet produced a good catch of fish for the Cape Fear Guide on April 15,2009,skies were cloudy but the wind was not blowing making for a descent day of fishing.
Tara Naumowicz caught several slot size red drum and releasing a couple of 16″ and 17″ reds, other fish caught were flounder,that’s right the flounder are in the inlet ! Black drum,and bluefish made up the rest of the mixed bag.

I fished yesterday April 8th on my first charter of the 2009 season,weather was quite cool,and windy with water temperatures still showing 58 degrees on my temperature gauge.Fishing was slow with no bites for the first part of the morning. I moved to one of my favorite spots,just before noon,and the bite was on catching black drum, with several double hook ups ! Lot’s of fun for the first time young anglers from Virginia,the black drum were hitting shrimp fished on the bottom.
Rods used were 6′ 6″ Key Largo light action tip with Shimano Spheros 3000FA reels great combination for light tackle action!
