NCCHARTERFISHING-Capt.'s Jeff Cronk and MIke Taylor-Crystal Coast, Swansboro, Emerald Isle

Friday 9/22 4hr afternoon trip with Randy Crews, his son, and his mother aboard looking for some good backwater fishing. We started out toward the flats near Bogue and found some reds working and quickly put a 29in (9+lb) redfish on Camera. We moved on looking for either flounder or trout and lucked out! We found a good school of fish working along a tideline off a shallow shoal and landed a mess of fish on both live shrimp and 3in. paddle tail Berkley Gulp SW baits. We boated 8 speckled trout (15 to 19in), 7 black drum (1 to 2lbs), and a bronze back redfish about 24in. and then headed back to the dock to clean our catch. Excellent afternoon on the water and great crew! Capt. Jeff Cronk- FISH'N4LIFE CHARTERS- 910-326-7512
