The fishing has taken a nosedive in recent days as the water tempera ture has reached the mid-80s. But we all knew it would happen, and now it is just a matter of days before we begin our cool-down for fall. The king mackerel fishing has got ten real spotty. Most avid king fisher men are logging seven hours a trip just to catch one fish. Most of the niccr sized fish are still coming from the in lets. The bait has gotten equally as hard to find as the kings. I talked with sever had to travel as far as 20 miles up or down the beachfront in order to find pogies. Friends, it's tough when you have to work that hard before you even put the first line in the water. The offshore bluewater trolling has also slowed. However, the fish have not completed shut down. This past Saturday. Capt. Ron Arvidson, Ed Parbst and Ray Jackson did a little offshore trolling aboard the SWAG II. Capt. Ron charters out of Holden Beach. Their game plan was to work the 30-fathom break between the 400 line and the Steeples. It wasn't long after Ed had deployed the baits that they had their first billfish strike. Unfortunately, the fish was on for less than 30 seconds. "Oh. well ? missed that one but maybe the fishing will be good today," was the crew's thought. Their optimism paid off. It wasn't long before they boated a 55-pound yellowfin and followed that with another 26-pounder. Soon after, the yellowfin had to be boated when the center-rigger snapped free and Penn 30TW fired to life. Billfish on! The sailfish put on a spectacular show before being brought along boatside for measuring and releasing. The tale of the tape proved she was a big 'un. From the lower jaw to the fork of the tail she measured 67 inches with a girth of 29 inches. Nice sail, guys, and congratulations on a successful release. Until next time, good fishin' and good luck.

FISHING REPORT Anglers Filling Up BY DOUG R UTTER Offshore fishing conditions have been sporadic in recent weeks be cause of the wind, but fishermen who spend their time inshore have been catching an abundance of flounder. "The fishing's been good." Nellie Harrell of Sea Mist Camping Resort at Brick Landing said Monday. "Things have really been good here the last couple of weeks." She said most of the visiting an glers last week caught flounder in ihc Intracoastal Waterway, fishermen also landed drum, trout and spots. Harrell said campers David Cha vis and Braxton Ward caught a ham merhead shark last week that mea sured 714-feet long and weighed ap proximately 125 pounds. Sheffield's Store Along with flounder inshore, John Sheffield of Sheffield's Seafood & Grocery at Ocean Isle Beach report ed catches of king mackerel, dol phin. barracuda, amberjack and Spanish mackerel offshore last week. "It's hasn't been nothing spectac ular but there's enough to keep the interest up." Sheffield said. "It's pretty good. There was quite a few people here." Sheffield said the main problem with offshore fishing lately has been the wind causing choppy seas. When the weather's been calm, the fishing's been good, he said. Sheffield said he expects king mackerel fishing to improve over the next few weeks and peak next month when several major king mackerel tournaments are planned. "It should pick up gradually," he said. "September's one of your bet ter months for king fishing." Captain Pete's Seafood The fishing was slow inshore and offshore last week, according to Tra vis Elliott of Captain Pete's Seafood at Holden Beach. Fishermen caught snapper, bass and a few king mackerel offshore and spots, pinfish and flounder in side. Elliott said. He reported the catch of a 39 pound cobia. and said another angler landed a 9-pound flounder early last week. "It's slowed down a lot," Elliott said.
