Offshore Fishing Reports - Rod-Man Report June 13, 2007 - Hi Folks, I know it has been a while since I last posted. To make a long story short I have had computer problems, plus I have had some back problems from the big ray I caught up at Cape Lookout.

Rod-Man Report May 23, 2007
Hi Folks, and a happy and safe Memorial Day. Be sure to give thanks and prayers for our troops.
I just got back from a fun filled 3 days at Harkers Island fishing for cobia. We did not catch cobia but we did catch some big blues and huge rays. On the home front, fishing in the Wilmington area has finally turned back on after the “blowâ€Â. Let’s keep it that way.
Now here’s my report:
Inshore: Red drum are biting well. Catch them on artificials including GULP or on bait. A 1/4 oz. jig head and a GULP curlytail will do the job. Some flounder are showing up and are being caught on live bait.
Near shore: Cobia have shown up near shore at the reefs. Nice spanish are back and pods of menhaden are cruising the beach. It’s all good.
Offshore: Kings are biting around 10 miles. More cobia are at the offshore reefs and mahi are in the 20-25 mile areas.
Gulfstream: When boats have gone out there has been a good morning and evening tuna bite. Big wahoo and lots of big mahi are biting as well.
Be safe this holiday weekend and have a good time on the water….now…
Let’s Go Fishing!!!
