Slow offshore bite so settled for some Flounder!
Left Carolina Beach Inlet around 7:00 a.m. We set out to try and catch some early morning kings about 10-12 miles out and we did not have any luck. The wind was blowing hard out of the SW and the water temps were not good. The fish were not corporating with us today and from talking to other Captains they had the same luck. Came back in and decided to do some nearshore flounder fishing. Once anchored we picked up some oyster toads before we finally reeled up the first flounder. We had a couple of other bites after that and the flounder kept getting us hung up on structure. There is not a worst feeling that feeling the fish pulling but you can’t do nothing about it, usually if you let it be they will eventually untangle themselves. I wish that would have happened, but it didn’t. If we would have had more time and if the weather would have let up, we would have been able to pull up more flatties.
