"1 hate to say it's over, but I think it is," Curtis Williamson of Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier said Monday. "I think it's all over." Williamson said anglers didn't catch much of anything last week. "I don't know what happened to the fishing. There ain't been no fish for several days," he said. Gil Bass, manager of Holden Beach Fishing Pier, said anglers caughs jusS a few spoSs. whiting, spoStailed drum and flounder last. "We've had a few fair days with spot and whiting," Bass reported Monday. "The last two or Shree days Shey haven's done much as all." Overall, Bass . aid fishermen had a "preSSy good" fall spot season. "I can's really complain. Is could have been beSSer bus is could have been a loS worse," hi said. Although the fishing has slowed down, Williamson said he still ex pects a large crowd Thanksgiving Day if the weather is nice. "We had a pretty good tall and a good season all the way around," he said. "The summer was a little slow, hut I think it evened out in the fall and was about the same as last yeai." Captain Pete's Seafood "I guess everything's packed up and gone south for the winter," said Jesse Hayes of Captain Pete's Seafood at Holden Beach. Hayes said inshore fishing was slow last week, and the weather pre vented a lot of good offshore fishing. "Offshore fishing's fair but you have to pick your days right," he said. "The weather's so bad you don't get to fish every day." When fishermen did get outside last week, Hayes said they caught king mackerel, snapper and grouper. "Inshore fishing really slowed down," Hayes said. "It's like they put a stop light out in the ocean and everything came to a halt. The spots are gone as quickly as they came." Hayes said fishermen should start catching speckled trout in December and January. Because of the warm weather recently, the trout haven't shown up yet. "It's S:;ne to start thinking about deer hunting and duck hunting," Hayes said. "It's time to put the rods up in the shed and grab the gun and go to the woods." Sea Mist Camping Resort Net fishermen caught just a few spots last week in the ocean, accord ing to Baker Harrell of Sea Mist Camping Resort at Brick Landing. "There's nobody fishing at all," he reported Monday. "The fish evident ly never came into the waterway." Thank You. . . I appreciate your support in the recent election.
