Hello from Surf City! Thanks to Al for his Pier Fishing recap. Al is actively trying to save our ocean fishing piers from extinction. It seems that the piers are rapidly being replaced with condos, and anglers like you and me are loosing our access to the beach in those areas, not to mention our pier fishing. Check out his websites at the links below and email Al to find out how you can help.

As gasoline prices and water temps keep rising the fishing is getting better. High winds from a low pressure that slowly moved northward kept boats from going offshore for most of the week but when they got there they were rewarded.
Blackfin, Wahoo and Yellowfin all caught out of Oregon Inlet. The first blue marlin was caught and released as well. Out of Morehead - White Marlin, bonito, blackfin adn yellowfin. Kings caught at 240 rock and west rock. Offshore out of Wilmington and south found kings at the horseshoe, and bonito scattered about.
Other types of fishing were improved as well:
Flounder and trout at the little bridge(one of my usual stops) Blues and whiting from Avon to Hatteras Inlet. The Avon pier saw coolers full of whiting leaving. Black drum and croaker in the Frisco surf. Blacks, blues, reds and whites(whiting) at Ocracoke surf.
Lots of whting at Morehead piers along with blues and spots. Johnny is reporting whting on shrimp and fleas on Topsial. Check his blog here:

Whiting and blues near Wilmington with specs and reds in the backwaters. Ocean Crest pier reported the first pompano and bluefish from 6-8 pounds along with coolers full of whiting.
