Holden Beach Fishing Report

[randlemanboater]

Well, we went out Saturday afternoon about 4 miles in hopes of getting enough Black Sea Bass for dinner. I could see them all over the bottom in the spots that always produce, but they had lockjaw.

Joey caught 2 Sand Sharks which gave him a big thrill, we kept one for dinner and it was excellent table fare.

Sunday we headed out about 20 miles to a favorite spot for King Mackerel. I had studied the reports, the water temps, and the wind, and I, along with about 20 other boats, thought that the Kings would be there. If they were there, they didn't let anyone know about it.

We did pick up a few Spotted Sea Trout, Black Sea Bass, 3 Sand Sharks, and an undersized Grouper off of the bottom.

I expect in 2 weeks when I go back, the kings and mahi will be in range for me and my small gas tank.

Pawpaw holding on to Joey so the shark didn't pull him over. (It was pulling hard on the light rod he was using).



An Oyster Toad Fish, said to be good to eat but too slimey and ugly for me to mess with.




I realize now that most of the pictures were taken by my Dad on his camera, I don't have them to post.
