4/15/06 With a forecast of 20+mph today and muddy water my group of four rescheduled for a better weather day. So, I took my neighbor, Pete (who recently got back from his deployment to Africa) and his father-in-law, Joe out with me scouting for some fish for when the wind lets up... Well, we threw on some waders and the first spot we stopped on produced 5 reds from 25 to 29in. SWEEEET! We quickly moved on and tried to work Bogue Sound for Trout and it just wasn't happening... the SW blow for the past two days had the water looking like chalk... So, we moved in the shallow bays of the river and managed to find a good school of puppydrum and some flounder. We landed 17 pups from 15 to 19in. and lost two flounder (one around 2lbs and the other much larger) at the side of the boat. All fish in the river struck spinner baits. The red drum fishing is really picking up on the internal waters. Capt. Jeff Cronk- FISH'N4LIFE CHARTERS- 910-326-7512 OR EMAIL AT jcronk@ec.rr.com
