Prepare to have your a$$es handed to ya.

Just kidding. Good luck. I heard that there weren't going to be any shrimp available. Bummer. Guess its gonna be a real skills challenge.

curious how it went down there today.

5.8# 24in trout (4th place)
1.4# 15in flounder

Finished in second place overall. Big trout was 8.55# and the big flounder was 4.5#.

I caught our trout on a DOA Shrimp and dad got the flounder on a mud minnow. Unfortunately I lost a flounder at the boat that with our trout might have won the combined division. Oh well. We still broke even. Had a good time too.

We finished 3rd in the flounder with a 3.19lb .Got our butts kicked by the trout ,but doubled our entry fees in winnings so not too bad overall

PRETTY WORK MATT!!!!!!!!! Need for you to give me some lessons on the Trout/Flounder business....I could'nt catch my rear end w/a fist full of "stinger hooks" if I tried when it comes to flounder and trout .....

Going outside Sat (13th)...Fri/Sat (19th/20th)......putting a new water pump on the Rude....pump/impeller are the
orig. ones since 1999...decides not to push my luck.....

Congrats again...Clark..........(how much longer on the new one being launched ?)

ncdrew03.......
Mine came from the end of the jetty, SC side on the outside near the end. I watched every other trout that was weighed for money come from the inside spread out over the last hundred yards or so. The fish are stacked up on the rocks right now.

Robert.......
The new one will be here any day now. The Doc told us that he wouldn't stop the labor if she started today. I have a big day at work on the 15th. I just hope to make it past that, then she can pop him/her (?) out any time she likes.

What color - size DOA shrimp were you using. I like the clear ones in 1/2 ounce. thanks.

ncdrew03 · 05-09-2006, 12:56 AM

thanks original. i fish shallotte and lwf but never ran down to little river. sounds like it was worth the run this weekend. guess i better get a license if i plan on trying that out.

great job guys

Bingo. Clear 1/2 oz. Went back two days ago and caught more citation size fish on the clear as well as a green w/ silver flake 1/2 oz. Caught some drum as well, and lost a monster of some kind. Hit it like a ton of bricks and took off for deeper water. Pulled the hook after stripping 75 yards. I never could slow him down. I'm guessing giant drum of flounder. I was letting the shrimp fall all the way to the bottom and hopping it up every ten or fifteen seconds. BAM!

ncdrew03........

I would suggest getting a license and hitting the LR Inlet/Dunn Sound area this year. I could show you a few real good trout holes down there if you could educate me on fishing Lockwood Inlet/River. My knowledge ends at the Shallotte area.

ncdrew03 · 05-11-2006, 03:47 PM

does the fishing center...or anyone at oib for that matter have any live shrimp this time of year?

lwf is the place for flounder. i havent fished that inlet in a while but the river is good for drifting for flatties. there are some hogs in there but the oysters are aggrevating.

originalsin · 05-11-2006, 04:03 PM

No live shrimp to be had right now. I've been told that no one will deal with them any longer because their so hard to keep alive. Not to worry though. There will be plenty to be had in a few more weeks for free.
