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

Well, with a 20mph NNE wind blowing before we stepped on the boat... it was obvious today was going to be a tough one! Both Jim and his son Brian P. have fished the Bogue Sound area before and were hoping to get on some decent fish. Our areas to fish were limited due to the weather but we tuffed it out all morning fishing Bogue Sound, White Oak River, and other areas around Swansboro and managed a good no. of fish. We just were'nt lucky enough to put up some good sized fish though. We managed to land about 20 small (10 to 14in.) trout, 14 puppy drum, and a decent 1.5lb flounder. The only two nice trout (about 2lbs) we hooked managed to shake the hook on the way to the net. If the wind will lay back down we should be able to get on some better trout and large schools of Redfish. Thanks guys and great job today!
