The spawn is on in Eastern Carolina.  The freshwater fish are doing that thang to bring great fishing to future generations.  The crappie are in full spawn mode right now and can be caught with Bobby Garland jigs, Blue Ice is a great color.  Plus minnows and small crank baits.  The bluegill will spawn with every full moon up to 7 times a year.   Beetle spins, night crawlers and crickets are always a good choice.  The bass are guarding their nests now and they will destroy a Baby Brush Hog.  Green pumpkin is the best color.

On the saltwater side of things Kelly at Squidder’s in Vandemere caught some nice speckled trout last week.  Plus the drum fishing has been good.  Still a little early for off shore fishing except for tuna and wahoo.  

Please pick up your trash.  This old salt went crappie fishing at Shearon Harris Lake near Raliegh recently and there was 1000x more trash than fishermen and it was crowded.  It takes no effort at all to pick up your trash and throw it in a trash can. And hey, don’t forget to take a kid fishing.
