    Default Southport NC


    My buddy Joe that lived in Oregon recently relocated to Southport, NC. I drove up Tuesday to visit and do some salt water fishing. Unfortunately the prolonged warm weather has slowed the movement of fish into the bays. Have not caught much so far but there is a wonderful seafood market here that has really fresh seafood. We enjoyed Shrimp and Pink Snapper so far. All grilled to perfection by my host.
    Hope we get some better action soon but regardless it has been great visiting and exploring Southport. It looks like a town still in the 50s. Beautiful old oak tree lined streets and most homes date back 50 to 100+ years. Name:  IMG_1173.jpg

    Inshore fishing should be booming. It is in our low country. Live shrimp.

    Pete. Joe was one of the best Salmon fisherman on the Oregon coast. He doesn't have a boat but he always had a seat out there because of his knowledge. He just moved to Southport so we are trying some pier and shore fishing. Still in a learning curve. Any advice welcome.

    Do like the other do on the pier. Remember to hold your mouth right! Pier fishing is tough sometimes, hope you'll get it figured out. Any party boats to go out on? Picture looks like it could hold flounder in it at the right time of year! Hope your friend likes it there. Sounds like a good place to be.
