Fishing Report Update  September 30, 2005

After the storm it took about two days before fishing really picked up and
boy was it good. We had a wide variety of fish caught, Blues, Pompano, Spot,
Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, Flounder and lets not forget the Pinfish. We
haven't had a good Spot run yet but we did have a few days last week when
they bit pretty steady for a few hours at night. There haven't been any King
Mackerel caught in the past two weeks even though they are out there. Many
Kingfishermen watch them swim around their bait. The water has been dirty
for the past few days and I hate to admit it has been really slow out there.
Hopefully things will pick up today.

Fishing Report September 4, 2005

It has been fairly slow the past few days. No King Mackerel have been caught
since Bill Jones caught his last week. They were catching some Flounder,
Mullet, Pompano and Blues yesterday as well as a few Spanish Mackerel. Blues
are coming in mainly later in the evenings. There have been a few Spot
caught through the week but no big runs yet. Water temperature is still 85
degrees. Winds blowing out of the NE at 10-15 today

Fishing Report July 17, 2005

There was a White Grunt caught on July 12th from the Pier which is a very
rare catch. No one can recall every seeing one caught from the Pier. They
are catching plenty of Flounder and more of them are keepers. There haven't
been anymore Kings caught since the 10th but there was a nice Spanish
caught. Pulling in Croaker and Mullet mostly at night. A few small Spot  on
Friday as well. Winds have been blowing out of the southwest and the water
has been calm.

Fishing Report Update July 12, 2005

Been pretty descent the past few days, they have been catching Spanish
Mackerel, Blues, Spade Fish, Sheepshead , Flounder and a few Pompano and
Trout. We had yet another 26 lb Barracuda caught over the weekend as well as
a few Kings. At night they are mainly pulling in some Croaker and Mullet.
Always plenty of Sharks out there.

Fishing Report Update June 19, 2005

The King Mackerel are in the water and they have caught several in the past
few days. Angie Bradley caught her first King weighing 36 lbs. Had a 24 lbs
and 16 lbs King caught two days later. Forest Jones knocked Tom Harty off
the board for Spanish Mackerel caught on a Gotcha Plug. Steven Whaley had
himself a nice fight with a 8 - 9 foot Hammerhead Shark. Brought it to the
surface for all to see and then cut his line. Congrats to Steven, it was a
beautiful sight. They are catching plenty of Blues on Gotchas and we have
had a few runs on Spanish as well. There are some Pompano,Whiting, Spadefish
and Flounder being caught. We haven't seen to many keeper size Flounder yet
though. For the most part it's Blues Blues and more Blues...Oh yeah, lets
not forget the Sharks and Skates, always plenty of those.


Fishing Report Update May 21, 2005

It's been a great few days for Blues and Spanish Mackerel. Plenty of happy
faces leaving the pier with their fill of fish. Flounder are also being
caught but most of them still on the small side. At night their catching
Croaker and Mullet along with plenty of Skates and Sharks. No Kings as of
yet even though they did have a few runs yesterday, most likely Blues
though.
We do have some names to put on the Leader Board. Harlee Garganious is in
the lead with his 7 lbs. 8.5 oz Blue caught on a Gotcha Plug. Tom Harty is
in the lead in the Spanish Mackerel on a plug category with his Spanish
weighing in at 1 lbs. 8.5 oz. There have been several other Blues caught on
King Rigs but unfortunately none of those fishermen were entered in the
tournament. All in all it's been great for fishing, grab your rod and reel
and come on down...

Fishing Report May 2, 2005

They are catching plenty of Blues right now and have been all day so far. We
had a very nice but short run on Blues yesterday but it looks like they will
be staying a while today. Mullet, Blues and Drum are being caught in the
surf. Looks like the temperature is warming up enough for some of the fish
to move in closer. The weather has been nice the past few days and that is
helping the water warm up. I would suggest you grab your fishing rod and
come on down.

Finally the Typhoon force winds have died down and the fishermen no longer
need to tie themselves to the railing. Believe it or not we did actually
have a few die-hards that braved the wind and cold weather and had the joy
of announcing, once the were able to catch their breath, that they caught
some Mullet and even a few small Blues in all that mess. The winds even blew
in a Porgy which is a rare sight. It's a beautiful day out there today.
Temperatures will reach the 70's and winds are blowing out of the NE 5-10
mph. Their catch some Mullet out there right now and who knows what the
tides will bring.
Come on down and spend the day fishing and don't forget to join the fun and
sign up for the 2005 Kure Pier fishing Tournament.


Fishing Report April 13, 2005

Fishing has been slow the past few weeks but they are starting to catch some
Virginia Mullet on the end of the pier. They were catching some small Spot
the past two days on the incoming tides. Other then that it's been plenty of
Sharks and Skates. The water temperature is still in the upper 50's
