Six Pointer
Spent the past two weeks trying to coax something large enough to eat out of the surf at Oak Island. All I can say is wow, NC inshore fishing is horrible! We caught: sharks, crabs, pinfish, 3" long croakers and other assorted fish-tank sized fish and that was it. The only fish I caught large enough to eat was a spot in the surf - and truth be known -he was probably lost! My daughter caught a pretty nice jumping mullet with the cast net, but everything else was about the size of the holes in commercial nets. The only thing that salvaged our trip (fishing-wise) was an offshore trip out of Calabash where we did catch a few (enough for one meal). From Caswell to the Point at Long beach, I saw very few fish being caught at all. We did have a great time with family and spent a couple of days shooting clays at Low Country Preserve in Tabor City. Maybe my memory is failing, but I remember catching fish out of the surf at all times of the year when I was a kid. Shame my children won't be able to know what that is like...
