Welcome to all those who are joining us for this 4th of July week here on the island! It was a beautiful day here today. We had a high temperature of 82F this afternoon. Winds right now are out of the East at 4mph. High risk of rip currents through Sunday evening. Keep an eye on your loved ones in the surf.
FREINDLY REMINDER – Please remember this is a National Park and ALL fireworks are illegal to set off. Enjoy your 4th celebration with friends and family but leave the fireworks to the professionals on the Avon Pier tomorrow evening.
Fishing all around was non-existent yesterday. Nothing to report.
Today was a bit better with some reports of Croaker and Sea Mullet up in Avon.
Speckled Trout are still being caught in the sound. Wade out knee deep or head out on your kayak for best results.
The offshore boats finally made it out and the fish were there. Lots of Dolphin of all sizes.
Sea Creature and Release both released a Blue Marlin today.
Hatteras Fever II released both a Blue Marlin and White MarliIn
Inshore- Speckled Trout, Drum, Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel
Rapala F07S Original Floating Lure, 2 3/4″, 1/8 oz, Silver, Floating
The lure that started it all is still the number one “go-to” lure. Whether twitched on top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depth or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to fish everywhere. Premium black nickel VMC® hooks. Hand tuned and tank-tested to ensure that world renowned action straight from the box. Stainless Through Wire Construction.
