Cape Fear Topwater Action


Corey and I had pretty conditions early and took advantage of them.  We were a little bummed the high tide did not rise enough to flood the flats we wanted to hit, but the fish were more than cooperative just on the edge of the grass.  Corey stuck several reds on topwater and had several follows and blow ups.  We moved around a bit and stuck them on popping corks and soft plastics as well as Category 5 manic minnows rigged weedless.  Caught a trout and a few flounder as well.  In the afternoon as the tide fell out and the wind picked up we saw reds feeding in the skinny with their backs out of the water, cool sight!  Headed back to the dock so Corey could go buy a new house.  Enjoyed having you on the boat my friend.  Look forward to our next trip!
