Fishing Reports
Saltwater: Inshore: Capt. Judy Helmey reports, “With the month of May at bay, the fish bite is more dependable and predictable. During this time, live shrimp can be caught holding on mud banks, deeps holes, backs of creeks and of course at the bait shops. In May, the spotted seatrout bite is joined with the flounder bite,…

Blue Ridge: Level: Full pool. Temp: 63-65 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “What a crazy month for fishing. We’ve had so much rain that our lake actually went above full pool in just a matter of a few days. That’s not good when it’s spawning time, not to mention we had some…
