FISHING REPORT
Weekend Fishing " Weathered Out '
BY DOUG RUTTER
Steady rainfall on Saturday, a cold
blast on Sunday and stiff winds both
days did not add up to an enjoyable
weekend of fishing in the South
Brunswick Islands.
The nasty weather gave spots and
other fall favorites a temporary re
prieve, but area fishing experts ex
pect conditions to pick up inshore
and offshore this week as the weath
er improves.
"It was pretty good up until the
weekend." Curtis Williamson of
Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier said
Monday. "It was good Thursday and
Friday, but it's been slow since
then."
Williamson said foul weather
over the weekend kept most of the
fishermen indoors. "Yesterday it was
so cold and the water was so rough
that people weren't even trying."
The spot fishing was better a few
miles west at Sunset Beach Fishing
Pier. Spokesman F.d Kayler said an
glers continued to catch spots
through the rain and cold.
"It's kind of cold, but they're
catching fish," Kayler reported
Monday morning. "We got weath
ered out a little bit over the week
end, but we had a great week."
Kayler said spot fishing was ex
cellent last week. "We had people
out here catching fish yesterday, but
they got weathered out and left," he
added.
Gil Bass of Holden Beach Fishing
Pier said anglers caught spots, floun
der and spottailed drum last week.
"They're not jumping on the pier,
but they're still catching some fish,"
Bass said Monday. "They're still
catching some spots, and I feel good
about more coming."
Bass said the "old-timers" say the
spots are running near Morehead
City and should be at Holden Beach
soon. "I'm hoping by the weekend
that big run will be here." he said.
Williamson said he expects a
good week at Ocean Isle Beach Pier.
"It's supposed to warm up. and that
will make a difference." he said.
Sheffield's
John Sheffield of Sheffield's store
at Ocean Isle Beach said fishermen
caught speckled trout, flounder and
spots last week.
Judy Kiser of Charlotte caught
eight flounder on Saturday, includ
ing one that weighed 3.5 pounds.
"The flounder have started show
ing up pretty good," Sheffield said.
"They're catching a lot of speckled
trout."
Sheffield said spot fishing slowed
down last week. "The spots have ta
pered off here right now. There's
some but not as many as there was."
Sheffield said the only good day
for offshore fishing last week was
Friday. David Hooks Jr. of Ocean
Isle Beach caught several nice king
mackerel in the 20-pound range.
"I believe the offshore fishing
will be good this week if the weath
er cooperates," Sheffield said.
TVipp's Fishing Center
Anglers caught spots, spottailed
drum and speckled trout last week
out of Shallotte Point, said Joyce
Land of Tripp's Fishing Center.
In the ocean, she said fishermen
caught king mackerel, black bass
and a few bluefish.
"It's slow right now," Land re
ported Monday. "I hope it picks
back up. We haven't had our run of
spot yet."

Worth The Trip
John Sullivan of Holden Beach was fishing for trout on the Yaup
on Reef off Oak Island last Wednesday morning when he landed
this 265-pound drum , using mullet as bait. "This was the only
thing we caught," said Sullivan, " but it was worth the trip out
there."
