FISHING REPORT Spot Fishing Continues To Slow Down, Kings Plentiful BY DOUG RUTTER Even with the fall spot fishing season grinding to a halt. Iocs! an glers managed some success last week with good caichcs of king mackerel offshore. Many fishermen caught their limit in kings over the weekend about 15 to 20 miles outside, said John Sheffield of Sheffield's Seafood & Grocery atjOcean Isle Beach. "Fishing is good. The spots have slowed down, but the offshore fish ing is good with a lot of kings being caught," Sheffield said. "There's been a lot of them caught. I've seen a lot 20 to 25 pounds." Sheffield said the largest one he weighed last week was a 39H poundcr landed Saturday by Adam Drye of Polkton. "The weather's pretty," Sheffield said. "If anybody can get off work and go fishing they can get some kings." Sheffield also said anglers have been catching flounder inshore and spots in the waterway in nets and on the hook and line. "A lot of people arc fishing for trout but they haven't shown up yet," he said. Captain Pete's Seafood In addition to king mackerel, fish ermen also caught red snapper and grouper offshore last week, accord ing to Pete Singletary of Captain Pete's Seafood at Holdcn Beach. "We saw a lot of kings over the weekend," Singletary said Tuesday "People did real well on kings, lim ited out on them." Anglers landed gray trout and drum inshore. "Most of the spots arc over with now. They're just catching a few, not like they were in the nets or the hook and line," Singletary said "People should be pleased with sea son. They caught a lot more spots than last year " Pier Fishing With the spot fishing all but fin ished for the year, local pier anglers had to be satisfied last week with a few flounder and whiting. "It's kind of slow," said Milton Williams of Ocean Isle Fishing Pier "The spots have played out." A.J Hammill of Sunset Bcach Fishing Pier said spot fishing was good last Friday and Saturday but slow on Sunday and Monday. "It's been running hoi and cold." he said. "They're catching a few but no real numbers. The ones they are catching arc big. That's the best thing you can say about it." Forrest Whitley of Holdcn Bcach Fishing Pier said Tuesday that spot fishing "has dropped right off." fThis Week's Tide Table NOVEMBER HIGH .LOW Omy Date AM. KM. AM. FM.

Let our professional, factory trained technicians care for your boat. GARY CARR General Manager PAUL CULLIS Service Technician CURTIS SMITH Service Technician JAY BARRETT Service Technician MIKE POTTS Service Manager ef ef & a' & ENGINE-lnternal parts of your engine will rust if the engine is not operated occasionally. We'll connect your fuel system to our 'Storage Seal" solution and run the motor until all internal parts are saturated with the preservative. All pivot points are greased, the prop is removed and the shaft is greased. ? FUEL SYSTEM-Gasoline deteriorates rapidly after 3 months. Also, water can form from condensation with the change in temperatures. We'll add gasoline preservative and stabilizer. This stabilizer will ensure you have fresh gasoline in the spring. The cost of this preservative and stabilizer is included in your winterization price. BATTERIES-lf your batteries are not disconnected, there's a good chance they will run down and the connections corrode. If your bat tery is completely dead, it could freeze. We'll disconnect your batter ies, check the water level and clean the battery connections. fsTEERING-Steering cables will rust and bind if they are not lubricated. We'll lubricate the exposed steering cable surfaces and check for ease of operation. If the steering is stiff, we'll let you know so it can be repaired before spring. If you have power steering, the fluid is checked for cleanliness. 1 LOWER UNIT-Your out-drive is below water when you operate your boat, so any leak will allow salt water inside to rust the gears and shafts. If the water freezes and expands, it could crack your out drive. We'll change the oil in your lower unit and notify you if there's any water in the old oil. For an I/O, we pull your out-drive off, check the U joints and let you know the condition. If you have a fresh water system, the water must be removed from the tank, including all lines, drained to prevent freezing. We'll drain the water and operate your pumps with a palatable anti-freeze that will not affect the fresh water when you fill the system in the spring. COMPRESSION CHECK-We perform a compression check on all your cylinders and report the PSI reading to you. In addition, you'll receive a copy of the technician's evaluation of the general condition of your hull, electrical system, etc. SHRINK WRAP-After winterization, let us wax and preserve your boat's gel coat and metal railings and then preserve it all with SHRINK WRAP. This air-tight plastic covering is designed especially for protec tion of your boat and motor after it has been winterized.
