Catching Report - March 31, 2006

The reds and trout are still biting back in the channels and creeks. Around the inlets, some grey trout are being mixed in. There also have been a few small blues caught. In the surf and on the piers the Mullet bite is picking up with some drum being caught in the surf as well.

Reports from off-shore indicate that bottom fishing in the 20 mile range is still good with reports of some nice Wahoo and YFT being caught 35 or so miles out.

Boats that have been out near shore this week report large schools of bait and water temps of 58 - 60 degrees. Good catching times are right around the corner!

FISH FRY this Saturday at Hampstead Baptist Church from 11am - 5pm. The church is located near the corner of Factory Road and Hwy. 17 in Hampstead. Come on out and get a fresh fried fish dinner for only $6. I'll be there cooking fish and hush puppies, so be sure to ask for Mike and say you saw it on the BLOG.

Tight Lines to all!
