No worries brother....don't beat yourself up over it. We'll be headed that way in a couple of weeks and will be staying a couple miles south of the Surf City pier. I haven't been back there since spring of 2020 which our time was cut short because of COVID. Nevertheless, we're looking forward to another trip to this beautiful island....I have a charter lined up and really want to get some surf fishing in too.

If they would just keep the shrimp trawls out of the estuaries and the river, our stock of flounder, reds, specks, black drum would come roaring back after a few years. It is what they have done in every state along the east coast and through the gulf of Mexico. Louisiana was fished out, specks gone, reds, gone, grey trout gone, then they stopped the trawling and netting in the estuaries and now they have the best fishery of anybody. The by catch of the shrimp trawls is millions of pounds of small finfish! It's already a known fact that 90% of the seafood consumed in NC is from out of state. Got to wake up people!

Forget about the stock, the winds, and the fine people who work at the North Carolina Wildlife Resources division who are 'actually' knowledgeable in fisheries science. Research the who, what, where, why, when & how we select the commissioners making the decisions that the NCWR has to follow. Your answer lies there. Calling a politician isn't going to fix our recreational fishing problems. A unified voice of recreational fisherman in the thousands who are willing to take the time to become active in publicly exposing the mismanagement will. Myself, I'm not buying a license here anymore. This one runs out ... I'm done. There's bluer seas elsewhere that's recreational friendly. Dragging a boat to the coast to go fishing for a day is up to an average of about $150 now. The better half doesn't look kindly on my spending that much and coming home with an empty cooler. It's not empty because I didn't 'catch' any. It's because I couldn't 'keep' any. The bait man got his money. The gas man got his money. The restaurants got their money. The state got their license money. The state got the extra tax money on my tackle. And the fisherman got nothing. That's not a good scenario if you want fisherman to fish here. And rich politicians will never understand that.

I cant say I really agree with your opinion that the flounder stock is/could be in danger and it's more about the wind pushing in small flounder. I fish every weekend all day. Everywhere from topsail all the way down to the end of oakisland. And every since the weather has warmed up the flounder are stacked all over each other everywhere where they should be. Not only that, pretty much all have been big aggressive flounder. Very, very few have been small. I've literally had to make changes to my fishing methods to try not to catch any flounder! However.. I do agree that the state is doing a HORRIBLE job at management!!!!!!! Absolutely no reason why legal, law-abiding recreational fishermen shouldn't get a season!!!! There is plenty for everyone in moderation. The state needs to get their heads out of their butts and some people need to get fired! All these new and pointless rules and regulations takes ALL the positive aspects of fishing and throws them out of the window! Honestly, fishing in nc is almost not worth fishing anymore! It makes me just want to give fishing up.
@DueSouthFishingАй бұрын
Thank you for your comment. Now as far as, Are the stocks in danger? You and I don't think so but we have to go on what we are told. My comment about the baby flounder being driven by the wind and that determines what estuary they end up in is not my opinion that is a scientific fact told by state biologist. If it's lie, they told it. (I found out by listening to a 4.5 hour symposium, Brutal) I have fished my entire life as I'm sure you have and it's a shame that we have even got to entertain the thought of quitting. The DMF needs an overhaul from top to bottom.

Great video. I live in the Piedmont area, just a little east of the mountains. I come to the NC coast (mostly topsail) twice a year and spend alot of time fishing. The flounder season thing is quite aggravating, especially considering the commercial market is still open. It's pretty obvious that commercial fishing decimates the population far worse than recreational. I normally use VUDU shrimp and VUDU mullets, and they work really well. Got on a decent ladyfish bite this week out in the sound, they were busting on glass minnows and shrimp late at night on slack low tide. Other than that I just got hammered by micro sea bass and grunts.

They need to close the season for both recreational and commercial. Does the commercial industry have quotas. When that quota is reached do they close the season early? Sounds like hush money dictates the regulations.
