Seadrift Bay Fishing Reports

Our last trips focused on working mid to deep shell pads with popping cork/shrimp looking for solid Trout action. Capt. Braden Proctor could do no wrong with guests of Charlie C. making productive drift after drift over submerged oyster shell.

Fortunate to be labeled "Critical Infrastructure" by the City of Seadrift and remaining operational at very minimal levels.

What can you do except laugh and cry. It's a disaster of biblical proportions for so many and I can tell you the lack of revenue hasn't hardly begun to hit the local City & State levels and may not for another 30 to 90 days (tax collection windows).

We've been seeing a big uptick in bookings with folks sticking close to home and we welcome everyone to staycation with us.

Airboat trips have been a back lakes beat down with lots of fish pouring into the lakes. On low water look for them piled up in the deeper swales and guts.

Capt. James Cunningham with Clark Constructors Team won Big Redfish; and Capt. Chris Cady with Team Castaway won 2nd Place Big Redfish.

All February thru the end of March will find some gritty Airboat fishing in primetime with mixed schools of Black Drum and Redfish making for big pulls and heavy fish boxes.

That delayed bait migrations into the bays and it was one of the toughest we've seen on area bait camps.

That's got lots of folks "feeling fishy" and we've been hitting the back lakes and shallow mud/grass bays with great folks from all over the State and Nation.

Capt. James Cunningham and Capt. Braden Proctor hitting them hard the last couple of days taking limits of Gadwall, Pintail, and a few Teal and Shoves.
