"Mostly they're catch ing spots and doing right well at it." Two weeks ago, Bass reported that spots were jumping on the pier and anglers didn't even need bait on their hooks. "This week you had to put a little bait on your hook," he said Monday. "They're jumping about halfway up the pier this week." Bass said Jim Hartman of Holden Beach landed a 6-pound flounder last week. "I think we'll have about three or four more weeks of spots." he said. Sheffield's Anglers caught spots, trout, drum and bluefish last week, according to John Sheffield of Sheffield's store at Ocean Isle Beach. "Everybody's enjoying the spot fishing," he said. "They're doing good in between the gill nets. If a spot makes it through all the nets from Southport to the South Caro lina line they ought to give it an award." Sheffield said George Wray of Shelby and some friends were king fishing last week off Tubbs Inlet when they had two strikes at once. NEED HELP LEARNING TO READ?
