Got out on the Cape Fear on sat. at the lock and dam#1. Fished about four hours and couldnt manage to catch anything but a sunburnt forehead. Left my cap at home. River was up about 3 ft. and a little muddy.At one time there was about 10 boats fishing and only a few fish caught. fish will probably turn on as soon as the river drops and clears. Had a great time being back on my home waters.

You need to visit the E-store and get you a nice new NCAngler fishing hat!!!!

Thanks for the report, fishyfish. Glad you got back into your home waters, hope you get on the fish soon!

Stopped by No. 1 today on my way back from Wilmington. There were a few people fishing from the bank and a couple boats out but nobody was catching anything.

Will likely be a couple of weeks before the water drops and clears to be able to dart, provided we don't get anymore heavy rain. Want to get my son who has never caught a shad,I cant wait to see him pulling for all he's got. Want to do a Weldon trip with him this year to. See if he can handle a teenager by him self.
