Fishing Report (Updated 5.14.2008)

Strong winds have made for tough fishing this week in the Little River area.

Spottail Bass: Fair. Anglers are catching spottail bass along structure in the ICW, around creek mouth drains, and in the upper creeks using live mud minnows and Berkeley Gulp.

Trout: Good. The trout bite is strong and 3 to 5 pound fish are being taken.  Fish in the ICW up to the jetties with grubs and artificial shrimp.  Berkeley Gulp baits and DOA shrimp have been particularly effective.  At the Little River jetties some big trout are being caught on live shrimp. 

Flounder: Very good.  Most of the flounder have now returned inshore and can be caught in Cherry Grove and 53rd area creeks using mud minnows.  Target the Hog Inlet area where water temperatures rise fastest.   Flounder are also being taken at the Little River jetties. 

Cherry Grove Pier: Pier fishing was very good for nice bluefish and Spanish Mackerel, as well as king mackerel up to 35 pounds, but strong winds the last few days have muddied the water and slowed the pier fishing down.  Expect fishing to improve again shortly.
