FISHING REPORT Anglers Catching Lots Of Kings Offshore BY DOUG R UTTER Fishermen caught tons of king mackerel offshore last week, while inshore anglers pulled in some spots and drum. "The kings arc plentiful," Ken Shipley of Ocean Isle Marina said Monday. "Everyone is coming in with their limit every clay it seems." Marcus Stanley of Cause Land ing, fishing on the Sea Wolf, landed three citation kings in two days last week. The fish weighed between 30 and 36 pounds each. Shipley said fishing was decent closer to shore as well. Fishermen caught spots, croaker, shecpshcad and flounder in the Atlantic Intra coastal Waterway. "We've had a nice bunch of spot tailed drum and black drum being caught in the surf," he added. Captain Pete's Seafood The fishing wasn't so hot out of Captain Pete's Seafood at Holdcn Bcach. Jesse Hayes said windy con ditions limited offshore fishing over the weekend. Anglers caught king mackerel and dolphin about 20 miles outside, but Hayes said the ocean was too rough for bottom fishing. Inshore, Hayes said anglers caught a few spottailcd drum but flounder fishing was slow. "The mullet have started showing up this week. That right there will help the flounder fishing a little bit." Hayes, like everyone, is ready for the season to change. "We're wait ing on the fall and a little bit cooler weather," he said. Pier Fishing Pier fishing has slowed down across the South Brunswick Islands, but anglers arc still picking up spots, whiting and trout. % iffi'- w PEGGY WILLIAMS of Moore , Okla., caught this nice barracuda last week aboard the Alice E out of Holden Reach. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED ' STEVE CARTER (left) of Fayetteville shows off a 29-pound king landed recently on the Alice E. Also pictured is Dean Rivenhark. "It's kind of slow but they caught some," said Curtis Williamson of Occan Isle Beach Fishing Pier. "It's not as good as I'd like it to be." Williamson said anglers have been catching spots and Spanish mackerel early in the morning and late in the evening. "I'm looking for il to pick up," he Weekend Conditions Right For Mackerel To The Limit BY JAMIE MILL1KEN Beautiful sunny skies and a slick ocean greeted anglers this past week end. With conditions as they were, fishermen had little problem landing their limit of Spanish and king mackerel. Marcus and Larry Stanley limited out Friday on the kings. According to Larry, they were fishing in 60 feet of water depth and trolling frozen cigar minnows for bait. Their catch included two citation-size 30-pounders. Larry was all smiles about his day on the wa ter! ? ? ? The crew of the Sin-Saiion , Charles and Linda Walters, also located the kings. I understand they fished offshore in the 30-mile range and successfully landed a 35-pound king. Fish that fish arc certainly no stranger to that boat: the Sin-Saiion is a strong producer of trophy-size kingfish. The Gulf Stream fishing has held up well considering the extremely high water temperature. I'm talking water temperature as high as 89 de grees. The good thing about that is that your fish is already cooked when you catch him! ? ? ? As 1 mentioned earlier, the weekend weather was great; however, this past Wednesday was another story. A strong southwest wind of 20 knots had built our seas to 5-7 feet. However, Capt Don Kinlaw and crew of the brand-new 32-foot Express Albemarle Lady Kaye did not let that cancel their trip to the blue water. This sheer determination is not only a tribute to the desire of the captain and crew, but also a tribute to the boat! Their determination was well-rewarded as they returned to the docks with two yellowfin tuna, six dolphin and a release of an estimated 300 pound blue marlin. Way to go, Dan. I must say that you are breaking her in right! My good friend Gene Parker, along with his son Whit and wife Missy (all great fishermen have wives named Missy) made a blue water trip Saturday aboard their new boat Tossin' & Turnin'. Capt. Gene successfully landed a 60-pound yellowfin and a 40-pound wahoo. Gene is a newcomer in Gulf Stream fishing, but it sure looks like he caught on fast. Congratulations, guys. Great catch! ? ? ? Aug. 12-15 will be the dates for a brand new tournament in our area. The Bill Spencer Myrtle Beach Open will have its inaugural event. I spoke with Donnic Griffin, organizer, and they arc cxpcctcd roughly 150 boats to participate.
