It pays to get up Early...
I had a great early morning trip with Pete Richardson of Wilmington, NC this morning. Pete had it together and we managed to impress ourselves by catching two redfish this morning between 5:45 am and 8 am. The morning was quiet with lots of bait on the move but very little redfish tailing/pushing/waking action to speak of.
I thought I had seen some reds milling quietly in a pocket of water on the edge of a flat no deeper than about 8 inches and asked Pete to make a cast with a topwater pug and spinning rod to wake them up. On the first cast he had a tremendous surface strike which we missed. On the very next cast he settled the score with a well placed cast and a great hook up yielding him a pretty 4 lb. redfish at first light.
The light improved and we decided to move to another spot that has been producing some tailing fish for us. When we arrived the water was slick and the fish were not showing themselves. We actually bumped into some fish and Pete got one to eat a fly presented perfectly in front of the lead fish. Once he got the fish close we could tell it was bigger than the one he caught earlier that morning. We weighed the fish at six pounds even and he ate a Borski's Bonefish Slider.
The fishing has been great and with the right weather we can sight fish to our hearts desire! Give me a call if you are interested in some tight lines, strong runs and big smiles. 910-233-4520

I just found this blog. I'm a Florida transplant in the Raleigh area. I'm overdue for a trip to the NC coast for some inshore fly fishing. Keep up the great reports and photography. I would love to be able to subscribe to the blog feed. It would be great if you enabled that (blogger) feature.
