Take Action Now! Protect your right to fish.

September 2, 2010
Dear Cabela's Customer:
Occasionally, an issue of such importance arises we feel it necessary to contact our loyal customers. With our fishing rights at stake, this is such an issue.
On August 23, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was petitioned by the Center for Biological Diversity and others to ban lead from ammunition and fishing tackle, including sinkers, jigs, weighted fly lines and components containing lead, such as brass and ballast in lures, spinners, stick baits and other fishing products.
On August 27, the EPA denied the petition regarding ammunition, but let stand the petition to ban lead in fishing tackle and has opened a short period for taking public comment.
Such a ban would cause prices of fishing products to skyrocket. Alternative metals can cost from six to 15 times more than lead, and most do not perform as well. For many, fishing would no longer be the affordable sport it is now.
Please join Cabela's and Keep America Fishing in opposing this ban by submitting your comments to the EPA no later than September 15, 2010. You can easily do so by clicking here.
It is a fast and easy way to assure your opinion is heard.
Cabela's is working in conjunction with the American Sportfishing Association and Keep America Fishing to protect our tradition and heritage of fishing.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

Cabela's

I thought this was interesting but hard to believe. I guess it could happen but WTOP has a story about an 8 foot bull shark caught in the Potomac. here is the link http://wtop.com/?nid=598&sid=2043383

Pier Closure Info

Thrifty Angler — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:24:19 GMT

Heard on the news that Lynnhaven Pier will be closing around midnight and will/may reopen around 12 noon tomorrow (Friday).

Saw on the news OV pier pulling down the storm shutters. Not sure if/when they will be closing.

Saw a visual of the Oceanfront pier and there wasn't anyone on it. Leads me to believe they are closed as of right now.

Not sure what is going on at the Sandbridge pier.

Carova 9/18 - 9/25

earnjam — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:38:35 GMT

I'm new to these boards, but would love some advice if anyone would be kind enough to share. I used to to be obsessed with fishing as a kid, but my father didn't really do any of it, so it was pretty much up to me to figure things out for myself on family beach trips. Learned a lot by watching others, trying things for myself, and a little friendly advice from old timers on the piers.

Well, it had been a few years since I had done any fishing at all, but I spent the 4th of July weekend fishing with a buddy in the Core Sound area and caught a bunch of nice flounder and blues. Then I just spent 2 weeks at Wrightsville with my family and caught some decent drum (6 >22"), a bunch of blues and my first ever cobia fishing off a dock on Banks Channel.

Well, needless to say...I'm completely hooked again and itching to do some more.

I'm heading up to Carova with some friends Sept 18-25. I was wondering if I should bring a rod down there and try to do some surf fishing. I've heard the drum are pretty good later in the season, but was wondering what I could expect this time of year. I haven't done a whole lot of surf fishing, so any advice would be helpful.

Thanks for any help!

Since we have made our plans to come down in December, i figured i should go over the fishing regs. I was looking for bag limits on Whiting but couldn't find anything listed. Do Whiting have an AKA?
Thanks,

Boating Report Murrells Inlet 8/31 and 9/2

c0ch3s3 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:03:39 GMT

my dad and i took the boat out in the inlet today and tuesday. got down there at low tide both mornings, got bait (mullet and shrimp, which are everywhere), and started fishing. just fishing the shrimp or mullet under bobbers, along the banks.

tuesday we got 2 puppy reds right off the get go, then pin fish and blues the rest of the afternoon.

this morning started slow. right away we saw, from a distance, what we thought were a couple of tailing reds, couldnt get them to take any bait. had a 4ft biter chase my bait back to the boat though. not much action until the tide came in a bit. ended up with 2 short flounder (one was 11.5"), 3 reds (all 13"-16"), and 2 huge croaker.

all in all, 2 great days on the water!

Question: Carolina Beach Wreck Sites

yerbyray — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:21:54 GMT

Naturally I can't find the map but last week I was looking at an online topo map site for the Freeman Park area of N. Carolina Beach. It indicated three "wrecks" between the pier and the northern tip (Snow's cut?)

The map indicated that they were just off the shoreline.

I can only assume that any structure underwater is better for fishing so are there wrecks there? Anyone know the basic history of them?

Thanks

Question: Storm Strategy

Setseven — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:46:59 GMT

We rarely get down to the coast to fish but are going to give it a whirl Sat-Mon on Wrightsville and Carolina Beach. The storm will be well to the north by then and I�m wondering what fish we should target in the aftermath? We usually have success with the blues from the surf but would like to maximize our efforts. Do fish actually come in closer to shore after the storm? Does the amount of fresh water from the storm effect the bite? Any ideas would go a long way. Where do the flounder go during these storms?

Please help

jakiger — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:07:40 GMT

Guys a while back ( i think it was Ryan) posted a video where they were talking in front of a big group at a town hall meeting about the beach closures. I would like to use that video for a class project I have - can anyone point me in the right direction i have been looking for 2 hours now.

Thanks very much
