Wrightsville Beach Fishing Report

Hi Folks,
I have just completed the boat show circuit from Raleigh to Richmond to Greensboro, meeting a lot of old friends and a bunch of new ones. I gave seminars at the shows and it was great fun.

A lot of folks have been asking about the fishing this time of year. While I am sure there are days when the fish bite, generally speaking the inshore fishing I do does not produce much this time of year. Look for me to get cranked up in late March and April.
Interest in my fishing school in Raleigh, February 28, 2009 has been outstanding. A few seats remain, so if you are interested, best to let me know as soon as possible. Registration ends February 21.
interest in my ultimate IN THE WATER fishing school to be held June 5,6,and 7 has been outstanding as well. Only 25 seats are available and some of them have been reserved. This school is a day of classroom followed by a day of fishing. It should be awesome. You can find details for all my fishing schools at www.rodmancharters.com.
Hope to see you there.
Until next time…..

Happy New Year Everyone,
Just a few notes as we prepare to enter 2009. I want to thank my customers and friends for helping me have a good 2008 in what is certainly going down as a tough year. I also look forward to 2009 starting with the first boat show in Raleigh next week and going right through my fishing school in February and my newest IN THE WATER Fishing School in June and the entire 2009 fishing season.
You can find details of my newest school, complete with SIX HOURS OF FISHING at http://www.rodmancharters.com/2009-inthewater-fishing-school.htm. The February School is receiving a lot of attention and I expect a full house. I will be doing SIX seminars in Raleigh and hope to see many of you there and please drop by my booth for the best in hand built custom fishing rods at great prices. Sorry for the advertisements, but these are things I just wanted you to know.
Now my report:

Inshore: Trout and drum (red and black) are STILL biting. Falling tide seems to work best. In the river, stripers are biting fairly well around Wilmington.

No reports available on ocean fishing, but hey, this is the time for inshore anyway.

This will most likely be my last report for the 2008 season except for some updates on upcoming events.

Until next year…………………
