Tripletails are an often overlooked species that can provide inshore fishermen plenty of summer action along the lower Cape Fear River.
If not for wearing polarized sunglasses, it would have been impossible to see the dark shape under the crab-pot float in one of the bays off the lower Cape Fear River. The water was typical Cape Fear murky, and the dark fish was holding motionless in the shadow created by the float and some marine weeds.
Someone who wasn’t attuned to the ways of tripletail wouldn’t have noticed the sulking fish, even with polarized glasses. Jeff Wolfe didn’t just notice the fish: He was preparing to catch it. Click here to read more on A Tale of Three Tails
