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.

NC - Fall Fishing - Cape Fear Guide

Capt. Mike Dennis — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:02:58 +0000

Carolina Beach,N.C.is a great place to live,for with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures,spurs the annual migrations and schooling of bait,finger mullets,this is what draws the king mackerel,close to our beaches,along with large flounders,that are being caught on our inshore artificial reefs.
I fished yesterday under Carolina blue skies,virtually no wind,just a perfect day to be out on the water,found a few large flounders biting,along with the grey trout.
This is the time of year you can just see the ocean, come alive with fish,from Spanish mackerel attacking mullet minnows on the surface,to king mackerel sky rocketing out of the water,now is the time to go fishing,and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Give the Cape Fear Guide a call at 910-619-0928 to set up your fall fishing charter,have a great day,Capt.Mike Dennis.

Red Drum Heat & Wind

Capt. Mike Dennis — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:22:07 +0000

The last couple of days red drum fishing has slowed a little the strong winds and heat has effected the bite some. The 90 to 94 degree days has made for some tough fishing,but if you are persistant you can still find a few descent red drum.
Happy 4th of July from the Cape Fear Guide !!
