Quick report, Solid Fishing in the Backwaters of the Cape Fear
The redfish bite in the backwaters of the lower Cape Fear is still solid. The reds are schooled up on the flats and the sightcasting is good when we can get the tides and wind to cooperate. We are also catching good numbers of reds on artificials and live baits around shelly bottom drop offs and around the edges of oyster rocks.
More flounder and speckled trout are mixed in with the reds and we are picking up a few while working soft plastics and live baits in the creeks and bays of the lower Cape Fear.
Check out the photos from the past couple of weeks.
Thanks,
