FISHING THE CAPE FEAR RIVER

While I have frequently fished the Cape Fear River on my own time and with customers, I have never here to fore singled out the River as to its viability for good inshore fishing. It is time for that to change. The Cape Fear or the River as I will call it has long been known for its great fishing for flounder, reds and trout, and many more species of quality fish. It has been said that fishing the river for a life time will only net you half of its secrets. To say it another way, it is in fact a vast area of fishing hot spots that simply cannot be fully learned. The idiosyncrasies of the tides, the shallows and the deep holes make for an ever challenging fishery bound to stump the novice and challenge the seasoned pro.

I am pleased to start purposely offering guided trips into the River. Because of the distance from my dock, the cost is a tiny bit more, but often the rewards are far greater. Light tackle inshore fishing with bait and artificials in the River can produce some awesome catches with double digit flounder, bull reds and gator trout the results.
So next time you are looking for a true fishing adventure consider asking for a trip to the River. The beauty and subtleties are worth the trip.
