- Seahawk Inshore Fishing Report 3/19/10 Warmer Temps = Better Fishing!!! - Posted to Seahawk Charters Fishing Report by Cbfishing.com Press
I think we have finally turned the corner on this winter weather and the fishing should really be picking up over the next couple of weeks. There should be good numbers of black drum showing up around the Cape Fear area along with redfish, speckled trout, and whiting.
We are still catching redfish in the creeks, bays, and around docks and rock piles. The reds are hitting soft plastic jigs and mud minnows fished on the bottom. There are some large schools of reds on the flats and the sightfishing is good when the wind and tides cooperate. The reds..

I had the pleasure of guiding two legendary Carolina Beach fishermen today. Inshore guru and surf fisherman Buddy Hicks and Offshore warrior/Inshore & Surf fish guru Dean Holt. We fished hard all day and saw plenty of fish, just not the hungry ones. We covered lots of ground, told stories, and never gave up. It was the bottom of the ninth with 2outs 2 strikes, when we found the hungry fish. We hit a home run catching several slot sized fished and missing some due to angler error. Even the pros can make a bad cast every now and then. Deans lure "Fell Off", whatever that means..

The water temperature has risen to the mid 50's in the past week which has caused the red drum to spread out & bite a little more. They seem to be hitting mirror lures (52 m11's) & white bucktails. There has been reports of some good catches of larger drum in the Carolina Beach Inlet. In the waterways & river still catching some speckled trout & a few Virginia mullet at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Keep fishing & stay safe.

Hello everyone and sorry for the lack of reports this winter. As all of you know we have had a tough, cold winter and the fishing has suffered as a result. I am tired of complaining about the weather so I wont bore you with it here. It looks like it is back to the 70’s and 80’s here in Florida and the fishing should be back to normal until our return to Wilmington on March 20th. We have had a few good days in between the cold and were able to stick a few fish. I hope you..

Hi Folks,
It has been a long and cold winter, but they say spring is less than 2 weeks away. Judging by today’s weather and the temps forecast for the next week, maybe spring will arrive on time.Experience tells me that the fish seem to have a better understanding of when they should show up than the weather. So with that in mind it is certainly time to make final preparations for the spring run. Let’s see if I can make some good predictions as to what to expect over the next 30 days or so…..
