Inshore Flounder fishing at Carolina Beach, caught a nice one!
Once leaving the boat ramp we went to find bait. The wind was blowing so hard that the waterway was white caping already at 7:00 a.m. There was nothing in the boat basin but a few mullet around the grass so decided to head towards the river. Found as much flounder size menhaden you could want just outside snows cut. Decided to drift the inlet to start out and had two bites but were not able to land the fish. We then headed to fish the Cape Fear River. I anchored up on one of my favorite holes, and by the time I had a bait out one of my clients had aleady hooked into a good fish. I got the net out and put the fish into the boat. My digital scale read 4 lbs 2 oz. The wind decided to blow even harder, consistently around 20 mph. Moved to another spot and had several bites and had a double on sting rays. Moved around more and finally came back to a previous spot. We had one even bigger than the earlier one caught up to the boat and just before we were able to net it, it pulled the hook. Started to see the thunderstorms and lightening in a distance so we decided to pack up and head back to the boat ramp.
