July magazine preview

Live bait is the bait of choice for most serious flounder fishermen, but a guide who fishes out of Bogue Inlet has found a different way to bag big flatfish: a bucktail jig/plastic shrimp combination.

How and where he fishes it, as well as what makes it so effective is the subject of a feature in the July edition of North Carolina Sportsman.

Other features are:

•The Saltwater Series map/gps feature visits the popular Atlantic Beach-Morehead City area;

•Look in your saltwater tackle box for some great lures for your next bass-fishing trip, and make sure you don’t ignore the productive saltwater lures in your freshwater tackle box;

•Snow’s Cut is well-known for its flounder fishing, but it’s a great spot to catch bragging-sized sheepshead;

•Use your ‘noodle’ to catch more catfish at Kerr Reservoir (Buggs Island Lake);

•It takes a special kind of fishermen to actually want to mess with a big amberjack. If you’re of that mindset, Oregon Inlet is a great place to start;

•Greenville’s North River Park is a great municipal facility for fishermen in eastern North Carolina.
