Minnesott Beach Fishing Reports

End off 2009 Report

This report will close out 2009 and roll us into 2010. My assessment is it has been a strange weather year making fishing more of a challenge. Too much rain and NE wind with NE being good but not extended periods as we had.

Trout are still being caught in all the local creeks, just have to have patience and move until you get on them. A lot of small fish with good quality fish mixed in. Rock action is also still good too. Michael got his fish citation during Christmas season with Jimmy and Phil boxing some nice fish the same day.

These patterns should continue with weather participating BUT I fear this up-coming freeze and current patterns. We haven’t had a freeze for years and this could hurt our trout. Cross your fingers and hope my thoughts don’t happen!

Fall tournament prizes went to Tommy Cowan 1st , Lisa Cowan 2nd and Brad Buck 3rd. 

My 12 month tournament starts Jan 16 2010. There will be some rule changes so look for application. Don’t have many applications as yet. Who knows, I’m trying.
 
Mud Minnows arein my tanks now for live baiters. I am getting ready to do another Power Pole order so contact me for discount pricing. I am also taking Costa Del Mar sunglass orders for approximate February delivery. Henrys Show is this coming week and will be glad to share discounts on all requests; trolling motors, rods/reels, ect. Can also handle installs for trolling motors and power poles and clean and re-spool your reels.

I am in my winter hours now. This is my fishing, dealer shows and honey do time. This means I will not open regular hours but if here I will be glad to assist. You can also call me for information or help. Minnows will be available – call to arrange.

If interested in my tournament, application can be downloaded of my site and sent in.

Hope all had a Safe and Merry Christmas and wish for a Happy New Year.

Dec 14 Update

Trout have been moving about of late – have to move with them. A lot of small fish being caught with some good fish mixed in. Did have 1 citation this week with Fred weighing in just over 5# fish. Nice catch guy.Trout have been moving about of late – have to move with them. A lot of small fish being caught with some good fish mixed in. Not a normal winter but hopes of cold weather setting us up. Not a normal winter but hopes of cold weather setting us up.

Rock are still the mainstay – I had only one strike Monday on my short 2 hr trip and caught a 6# rock on DOA 5.5 BFL. I have been picking on Mark Nichols about this bait and finally showing us locals what it can catch. He slammed it!  I am also selling his other products in a varied way of rigging. Come see me for instructions.

2 days left in my tournament. Tommy Cowan still leading. Hope to see some change but who knows with the weather patterns we are in.

I have decided by getting some influence to hold a 12 month tournament instead of 2 seasonal events as I have been doing. Will have applications out soon for Jan 16 2010 start date. There will be some rule changes so look for application.

9 Dec Report

Had good reports this weekend from New Bern to Oriental. Plenty of trout with some nice fish mixed in. I tagged a couple down my way Tuesday and lost (the big one) one nice fish. Need to change some hooks.

Windy mid week will require safe fishing and finding water. Maybe a northerly turn will give us much needed flush.

My tournament is winding down – one week left. Lisa Cowan got her man to carry her fishing and weighed in a real nice 6.92#er to take second behind her man. She also pushed here nephew to third. Look for a few more weigh-ins and possible upset bids. Not going to run this format next year – possible one or two day event if I can get participation. You guys let me know.

Remember Christmas is near and I have the gifts for your mate. Now stocking Old Nags BBQ Sauce and Spices. These are homemade by our friend Paulette Harris around Nags Head area and really make nice gifts and just good eats. I have an ad coming out in The County Compass this week offering discounts for your Christmas shopping through the 19th. Get a copy and come see me. Have several price ranges of rod and reel combos, t-shirts, coffee mugs and more to help make someone Christmas special. Can also fill those big items like trolling motors, power poles and costa delmars before Christmas too.

I will be going into my Hibernation Mode starting around 16th of December. This is my fishing, dealer shows and honey do time. This means I will not open regular hours but if here I will be glad to assist. Can also call me for information or help. Minnows will be available – call to arrange.

1 Dec Report

Had an afternoon invite from Stuart which turned out good. Had several trout with Stuart getting his first citation (5.96) and a nice one to start it off. As dark fell the rock got fired up on a school of mullet. Fast action with little light, had to give up but ended up boating 2 on light tackle with this one weighing 6#.

Not a lot of reports this week and a lot more of rain with more to come. Water is fresh but fish are there. Have to move around and keep eyes peeled for rock action.

Still no good report for rock jetty, who knows; maybe cold will push them down.
