Reel-Adventure Charters Fishing Report

Hello everyone!

We finally got a rainy day so it gave me a chance to get caught up on the reports. The Wrightsville Beach Fishing and the Carolina Beach Fishing continues to be great and it will only get better as fall arrives!

Our shark fishing and spanish mackerel fishing has been the “Hot Ticket” latley. First lets start with the sharks. This is a fly fishermans dream! We caught over 15 sharks on fly last week and had triple the amount of “shot’s” at them while sightcasting. It is all sightcasting and on most of the days you will see them take the fly…it is one of the best bites in the sport and they really make the 10 wt Tibor riptide and 12wt Tibor gulfstream reels sing! Watch for a video to come soon!

If you have never fly fished before don’t worry, it is actually a very simple 30 ft cast or I can hook the shark up for you and you can wear him out! I love introducing the sport of fly fishing to my customers! And don’t forget we can always get them on spinning tackle or trolling tackle if you like!

The action was so good this day we stayed well past the end of the charter and my clients insisted that I tug on one! Awesome…Thanks guys!

The pictures below are a some of the Army’s finest. It was an honor to take these guys out. These guys have been in some fierce action. We all should thank them for their service.

Now for the spanish report. The spanish are pretty thick right off the beach out to the 4 mile range. We are catching lots of them sightcasting with small jigs and have also caught a ton of them on fly. Small clousers with long shanked #2 hooks that resemble glass minnows are the ticket….and you have to strip fast!! It is awesome to see the spanish follow that fly and hammer it right at the boat as you begin your next cast. If you cant strip fast enough make your cast into the school and start to pick up the line with the rod to make another cast while your fly is in the school, this will speed up the fly and will often get the bite.

Thats all for now. I guess im going to finish up the day off by tying up a few shark flys and a few clousers for spanish.

We are now booking for September and have lots of great dates available. Give us a call! The fish are here and the fishing should only get better!

Tight lines!

The Carolina beach fishing and Wrightsville beach fishing the past two weeks has been awesome to say the least. We have caught and released over 100 sharks and well over 25 fly fishing. All but 1 have been tagged and released. I have tagged over 200 sharks in the past 2 years since entering the tagging program and I have never re caught one of my tagged sharks or any tagged shark for that matter. But we did have an interesting encounter last week. 4 days prior to this encounter I lost a shark on fly. It took my fly, leader and about a inch or so of my fly line. I think my line was near another piece of bait and another shark got the bait and bit my fly line by accident. Now here we are 4 days later hooked up to a shark on spin tackle and up comes the shark with my exact fly hung in his back, leader and all! Very cool! I removed the fly from the shark and it is now part of my fishing collection of neat stuff that is on the wall…much to my wife’s dismay! The shark fishing had a lull for about 3 days last week but it was in full swing today. Give us a call to get hooked up! We have the following August days available, the 16th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, and many days in September.

Instead of putting up pictures I did a 2 week video recap on all the shark photos wich includes quite a few pictures from todays trip! There was just way too many pictures!
