Area Catching Report - April 7, 2006

Inshore/nearshore: The Red Drum bite is strong with nice slot sized fish being caught in the creeks and marshes. Some nice Specks are being caught with some Gray Trout mixed in as well. The chopper blues are biting but no big ones yet.

Surf/Piers: The Topsail Island Piers report Sea Mullet being caught in good numbers and some puffer fish still being caught. Early morning and late afternoons have been the best this week. Drum and mullet are being caught in the surf.

Offshore/Stream: Black bass and grouper are being caught in the 10-30 mile range. Blackfin Tuna near the stream.

The off shore weather looks to be rough the next few days so best to stay nearshore.

Tight Lines!
