Last Fish of 2011!
    Good (windy) day with Ian McCorrmick and his son Kyle.  We beat hte odds and actually caught some fish on the last day of the year despite the 20+ mph wind.  Kyle ended up with a limit of NICE trout and the boys kept a couple for dinner.  

    Great guys to fish with and I look forward to fishing with them again this summer at Bald Head Island.

Capt Dean Report
    Had a father son trip today with big Mike and little Mike from West Virginia.  The new moon threw us a low, low tide and it took a while before the fish started biting.  After picking through the small throw backs, we finally landed some nice flounder.  Most of the fish caught today fell for live shrimp just before the peak of the high tide.

6/8/11 Fishing Report -Capt B. Dean/Casteen
    Picked up Capt Chad and a buddy - despite of the 15kt winds and headed to a spot just off the beach.  It paid off.  We ended up with 14 flounder and several big red drum.  Capt Chad is holding the biggest which exceeded 50lbs.  Guess I will have to get some bigger scales!  
    All the fish ate pogies on a flounder rig.  Dont be afraid to use small baits because the flounder would have nothing to do with our 4-5 inch baits.  Most all of the flounder prefered the 2-3 inch pogies.


That's A BEAST!

Fishing 6/7/11
Good fishing trip with Southport Resident - Barry Morris- his neighbor Bob and Barry's son Ryan...  The morning was slow to start but the boys hung with me till we found enough hungry redfish, trout and even a black drum... We also had a blast with the 4' bonnet head sharks on ultra light tackle...

Ryan caught a NICE 5.4 pound trout that had to be released- due to the NCDMF closure until 6/15- but we got the photo and it was an impressive fish!!!!

Capt Dean- Report
    I had a charter cancel at the last minute, so I decided to have a day to myself to try and get on some fish.  Capt Chad Casteen joined along to take the day off...  The flounder are starting to show up, and the spanish are everywhere.  I went out just offshore of Oak Island and landed 9 Flounder, one monster spanish on a lite line, and a 35 in cobia.  

    The water was slick calm and the spanish were jumping everywhere until the tide changed.  The boats just offshore of me were killing the king mackeral and big cobia.  Looks to be a great summer of fishing!

Capt Dean and Casteen Fishing 5/3/11
    Went out flounder fishing with Capt. Chad today and caught several nice fish.  We fished the falling tide using live pogies as bait.  A few fish fell for the pearl white berkley gulp shrimp, but all the big fish hit the live bait.  Several reds were in the slot, and two were over 30 inches.  This was Chad's first flounder of the year.  Not a bad way to kick off summer.

3/27/11 Fishing- Inshore

    Capt Chad and I set out for a couple of hours out of the house before the rain set in- Threw some artificial baits this afternoon- the fish were not on fire-by any means- but it was still a nice afternoon on the water!!!  Things getting better- the water was 59 degrees pretty much everywhere we went- and saw the porpoises massacring the reds and trout!
