FISHING REPORT Fall Spots Still Running Strong BY DOUG RUTTER Fishermen continued catching yellow-belly spots by the coolerful last week, and there's no end in sight. "Everything's still spots. The whole world is spots," said Jesse Hayes of Captain's Pete Seafood at Holden Beach. "They were catching them really well last week on the hook and in the gill nets." Hayes said Monday. "Over the past two weeks we've packed over 20,(XM) pounds. That al ready exceeds iast year's catch." Hayes said he hopes the fall spots hang around for at least another month. That would keep the local fishermen happy and the seafood houses plenty busy. Other than spots, Hayes said fish ermen caught flounder and puppy drum last week. Mack Foster of Holden Beach landed a 7-pound drum and 8-pound flounder the same day. Hayes said offshore fishing was a little slow last week, although some king mackerel were landed. "The biggest concentration of kings were out about 25 miles. They should be closer than that." Ocean Isle Marina "The spots are biting real gtxid," said Ken Shipley of Ocean Isle Marina. "They've finally come in. They're catching a lot of them." Shipley said anglers also caught a few trout last week as well as king mackerel and bottom fish. "The last I heard the kings were 23 miles out," he said Monday. Pier Fishing "It's going good. They're catch ing a lot of fish. The fish are biting out there now," Curtis Williamson of Ocean Isle Beach Pier said Mon day. Williamson said Saturday was the best day of the year for spots. "It was one of the heaviest days we've had. We had over 400 people on the pier. People were lining up to get on the pier." "Everybody's happy and catching fish," Williamson added. "We had a great week and a busy week." Ed Kayler of Sunset Beach Pier said Monday he has never seen the spot fishing better than it was last week. "They're catching coolerfuls," he reported.

Kayler said Sunday was the best day this fall. "It's still going strong even this morning. I'm just hoping it'll continue for a while. It's great right now." Williamson said he thinks the good spot fishing will continue for several weeks. "I hope it goes to November. I got a feeling the fish are late and it could last to Decem ber. I think November's going to be a good month."
