Fishing Report Dec 9th 2013

For Tuesday the 9th of Dec, the winter winds have switched around to the SW and laid down to 10 – 15 mph.  It’s still cloudy with a 40% of  rain.  Expect a high about the mid 50s and not seeing the sunset at 4:48 pm or tomorrows sunrise at 7:01 am.
First tide is high at 12:08 am and low at 6:29 am
Second tide is high at 12:56 pm and low at  6:52 pm

Haven’t heard of much going on from the beach today.  I did speak with the staff at Jennettes pier this morning and they reported what few people they had fishing decked skates and spiny dogfish – get used to it cause I expect to hear that a lot over the next several months.  There are probably some more trout  and puppy drum coming out of the bay and eastern shore area that haven’t reached us yet.  I have heard of schoolie rockfish around the bridges in the sounds – mostly small but some keepers.

Unfortunately with the Bonner Bridge being closed that shuts down any likelihood of us fishing Hatteras Island, but I did sell a dozen eels to a Pennsylvania guy who was going to take the ferry to Rodanthe and then drive up to the catwalks to fish for stripers.  He said he had spoken to an engineer with the state who told him access to the catwalks was open.  Good luck with that.

It looks like the sun will return by Wednesday but with it will come colder temperatures for the rest of the week.  Be a hero,  TAKE A KID FISHING!!!
