Cape Fear Guide Fishing Report

Fished the Cape Fear river yesterday catching Virginia mullet just off from Fort Fisher ferry landing,this was my first trip of the season for I have been recovering from surgery on my Achilles tendon.It sure does feel great being back on the water catching fish. Lot’s of fish action right now Spanish mackerel are showing up along our beaches with lots of bluefish action.
Found a number of red drum yesterday most fish were just under slot size,except for the first drum which was just over the slot size,this red drum picked up a piece of cut croaker on a carolina rig and took off !

Cape Fear Guide is reporting red drum are biting just about everywhere along the Cape Fear River from Snow’s Cut south to Bald Head Island.This past week red drum were scattered along the east bank of the river,in the buzzard bay area, fish were plentiful October 2, 2009 was a perfect day on the water with the red drum biting just about every spot I stopped to fish.
Rapala X -Wrap has proven to be my favorite plug for catching these fish when they are really biting along the banks,and oyster beds.
The fall bite has started !
