This BITE is still ON …

Club Members Dwain Benton and Roy Coffey holding some of their catch from this past Saturday. They were on a charter with Captain Tripp Hooks. The larger fish statistics are 7 lb. 15 oz, 28″ and the smaller fish is 23-1/2″. They were both caught at the jetties on live shrimp. This is two of 14 trout, several reds, and at least one black drum caught.

Fishing School Opportunity

I know that all of our Sea Trail Fishing Club Members are not on the STFC FaceBook site so I am re-posting these opportunities. I am planning on attending the Wilmington event on March 9th. Feel free to contact me (immikeru@gmail.com) if you want to ride-share to this event.

Fishing School Opportunity

Fisherman’s Post, the media group that covers most of the saltwater fishing action along the Carolina coast, will be hosting its eighteenth annual Wilmington In-Person Saltwater Fishing School on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Roland Grise Middle School (4412 Lake Ave, Wilmington, NC 28403) from 8:30 am-4:30 pm.

This year you can also gain access to video recordings of all five main seminars (a mix of inshore, nearshore, and offshore presentations), and the video recordings are available for those who attend in-person or for those that wish to enjoy all the knowledge and insights from the comfort of their home (and have unlimited access for three months after the school date).

For those interested there is also a similar event to be held in Morehead City on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Crystal Coast Civic Center on Arendell Street from 7:30 am-5:00 pm.

The Bite is Still “ON”

Black drum and sheepshead run together in Cape Lookout area

February’s hot fishing in the Cape Lookout area is made up in large part by black drum and sheepshead, and anglers can expect to catch both species in similar areas.

For Capt. Noah Lynk of Noah’s Ark Charters (252-342-6911), this month brings big changes.

“We have a big changeup in February. The gray trout will move out in big numbers, and lots of black drum and sheepshead will be available and biting,” said Lynk.

Both species are structure-oriented fish. Copy & Paste the URL below in your browser for more details.
