As reported by Alan Trojan

Alan Trojan, Clint Morschauser, and Jeff Titus reported a good day on the water last Friday. They went out on a charter from the docks at Ocean Isle with Captain Tripp Hooks during a falling tide in the morning. The water temperatures were up to 64 degrees. Fishing live shrimp on Carolina rigs resulted in catches in the Intercoastal between Calabash and the Little River. All three limited out on trout, the largest being 22 inches!

In other news, Brian Brambaugh and Mike Shannon reported a few undersize trout, a black drum and a lot of croaker and smaller fish caught mainly on artificial baits along the marshes near the Sunset Beach bridge. Surveys with the locals indicated that the bite was slow but picking up. Alan says its time to get out on the water and to signup for the fishing tournament. You never know when the big one bites!
