Fished the Fort and Freeman beach this past Saturday and had narry a bite at either place. It was cold (48) but the skies were blue and wind was not too bad (10mph). Stayed at the Drifters Reef and they have nice clean rooms with updated AC and TV's with Wireless Internet Access. Stayed 2 nights for $50 a night on the weekend ($40 during the week) and they have stay 2 nights get the 3rd night free special going on.
Any way the main highlights of the day were had at the Fort where a big pod of Dolphins swam leisurely in front of us for about 30 mins just 20 yards off shore.
The other highlight was we saw tons of what I believe were Tuna jumping totally out of the water about 400 yards off shore. Not sure if they were Tuna, but they were shaped like Tuna and they were "BIG" as in 3-5 feet long min and shaped like a torpedo.
Any thoughts on what these were if not Tuna???
PS
Bought a nice 3lb whole fresh Red Snapper from Blackburn's fish market in Carolina Beach for $5.95 a lb. Gonna smoke that bad boy on Wednesday when my sons come home from college for the the T-day holiday.
