Heat Causes Problems For Some Fishermen HY IONIA I'RKST Hot weather was to blame for smaller eatehes of fish in the rivers anil the ocean last week, according to reports from most local fishing areas. At Captain Pete's Manna of Hid den Beach, Jesse Hayes reported "a ginnl week". "All the boats did well." he said. "It is going to be another good week." he said. Hayes said ocean fishermen land ed king mackerel anil grouper, with black bass caught 10 to 12 miles out. Also, the Alice H. reeled in a W-pound sailfish about 30-40 miles outside, he said. inshote, anglers caught spots. FISHING REPORT whiting and trout. "The hot weather has affected the inshore fishing, but it is still good, which is unusual " said Hayes. "The heat is harder on the fishermen than the tish." Hughes Marina Allison Hughes of Hughes Mar ina at Shallotte Point agreed that the hot weather has affected the fish in the river. "It is too hot in the river for flounder and other fish." she said. Hughes reported that one Knit landed us quota of dolphin, Spanish and kings, which is unusual for this It's Been A Banner Year, But Best is Yef To Come BY JAM IK MILMKKN li is usually in July when wc begin to get scattered reports of sail fish being either sighted as they crash bait fish working the surface water or even an occasional hook-up. This July is no dif ferent. l ast week I heard reports of several CAPTAIN hook-ups and the crew aboard the Aticc E were fortunate enouch to boat one. JAAfllE S ***** OFFSHORE The South Brunswick Islands attracts these CICUIINf* billlish and you do not have to run 50 miles to find one of these babies. The state record for REPORT sad fish was set at Ocean Isle Beach with a weight of 100 pounds and it reportedly came from an area four miles out. Another good location for saillish has been the AR 455 artificial reef seven miles southeast of Shallotte Inlet. Every year there are hook ups all during July and August. Please lot me encourage you to do several tilings if you arc planning a trip where sailfish are likely to be. Carry a camera on board your boat. Be prepared during the strike to allow the fish to bill your bail and then lie will turn and come back to the bail to swallow. You should be feed ing him line off your reel at this point. Once he has taken the bait then set your hook. The last tiling I encourage is not to kill the fish. You need only the measurement of the length and girth for a mount. Pull the fish alongside for a photo session and carefully remove the hooks and re lease him. Offshore catches this week continued to be strong with dolphin, co bia, wahoo and king mackerel. John Sheppard, fishing the Out of Con trol, caught several nice wahoo and bull dolphin. He was fishing out past Frying Pan Light Tower. Marlon and Pal Long, fishing on board the Outlaw, had a nice catch of cobia as they fished die 18-mile area off Shallotte Inlet. York Pharr and his sons had a great week of king fishing on board their boat, the rishim ? '/earn. They caught closc to their limit four out of five days. **??? I keep reminding myself thai our best fishing months arc yet lo come, and ii has already been a banner year for sport fishing. Oh boy, 1 can't wait. Until then, light lines, bent rtxls and good fishin*. h-wl.ii r wmm PHOTO CONTRIBUTED A (IOOD CATCII of dolphin and king were landed July 7 aboard Nancy's Diamond captained by Mike O'Neal (far left) of Holden Beach.

"In the summertime, the water gets hot and the fish move out to colder waters, but the rain may cool things down", he said. "We might have to wait until the fall or at least the first of September.' Bass reported a few catches of spots, croakers, llounder and sheep head. Ocean Isle Fishing Pier At Ocean Isle Beach Fishing Pier, the report was different. Curtis Williamson said "fishing had been good since Wednesday." "The fish were biting every day," he said. "The hot weather hasn't af fected the fishing yet."
