July 14th-July 20th Swansboro Fishing Reports.... Fish'n4life Charters
7/20/2010 Headed back out today around 11am for a few hours with Steve Cline and his crew from NY for a relaxing, educational Eco-tour. They chose to locate sharks teeth, catch clams, and cast net shrimp for today. We had a blast and found about 50 sharks teeth, 70 clams, and brought about 5lbs of shrimp back too. Great Fun for the whole family! Schedule your Eco-Tour for your Family Today!!!!

7/20/2010 Bryant A. and his family hopped on this morning with overcast skys and a
15+mph SW wind yet another day.... Well, the first couple stops just wouldn't produce so, we switched everything up and began targeting Sheepshead. Within an hour and a half we had 10 sheepshead from 1 to 3lbs in our cooler along with 15 snapper blues. We fished hard and were rewarded with some food for the grill.... Back at the dock around 9:45am... and ready for an afternoon eco-tour.
7/19/2010 Tom Temple and his grandsons were back onboard again this season for some inshore fun around Swansboro.... Again, we left the dock this morning with gusty winds so strong that not even the 40fters could make it out the inlet for a 3rd day. That's the major advantage to fishing our bay boats... when it's calm with winds under 15mph we can fish the ocean with amazing results... and when it's downright BLOWING out... we're able to show our group a good time in the backwaters. A successful fishing trip is all about versatility. And... this morning the Temple group and I worked a couple spots and found an area we could fish using the wind to our advantage. These guys fished hard and landed 8 Redfish and had a few more hooked up. Then, the winds picked up to 20-25mph and we made our way to more protected waters where we boated a few flounder and a 4.1lb speckled Trout before heading back to the dock at noon.
-Superb day in Crappy Conditions... Great Job guys.

7/17/2010 Today I fished with Tom Daughtery's group in a tough 15 to 25mph wind. We worked a grass flat for a few hours in the morning and wound up landing an overslot 28in red but, unfortunately we spooked the school of reds and couldn't get back on them. The wind really picked up so we moved to some protected waters and finished up with a few flounder and another slot redfish before heading back to the dock around 10am. Then, it was off to beach the boat with the family.
-Great job today guys.

July15- Backwater Reds and Flounder.... Today I had my father, Tom Cronk, with me and we worked the backwaters hard till noon. We got into a good school of redfish and landed about 9 reds from 20in to 28in and then found some flounders working docks along the ICW and near the inlet. It's always good to be able to spend time with dad fishing. On Tuesday dad and I fished the ocean for Big Spanish Mackerel and shot an episode for Carolina Fishing TV which should air this Sunday.
