Who Knew … Tripletail in our Waters, Maybe

The Carolina Sportsman Magazine says “Summertime is tripletail time”

https://www.carolinasportsman.com/featured/its-tripletail-time/?utm_source=Carolina+Sportsman&utm_campaign=99c70297e9-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c41990a090-99c70297e9-290292534

While most anglers think of tripletails as a delicacy caught up and down Florida’s coast, North Carolina and South Carolina anglers can target them all summer and expect to take home a few fish every trip. And when the heat peaks, the tripletail action gets really hot.

Jordan Pate of Carolina Guide Service out of Pawley’s Island, said tripletail can make an inshore trip, even if redfish, flounder, specks and tarpon aren’t biting.

Should you spend the $$ for a local Fishing Guide in your locale ?

Reel in the Excitement – Shad Season is Here

It’s that exciting time of year again on the North Carolina coastal plain—shad fishing season is gearing up! As anglers gather along the shores of rivers like the Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar, and Roanoke, they’re hoping to catch one of the season’s signature fish: the migrating shad.

This is a special time, as both Hickory Shad and American Shad make their way north in their annual migration, arriving at various points in North Carolina. Right now, anglers are casting their lines for Hickory Shad, with American Shad expected to follow closely behind. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, now’s the time to get out there and enjoy the thrill of the shad migration. Grab your gear, hit the water, and see if you can reel in a big one before the season shifts!
