I fished today with my brother and good friend Josh Curry, on a quick fishing trip before my family celebrated Thanksgiving. We caught 14 redfish and a nice trout in about 3hrs time. All on artificial lures in the flats boat. The flats fishing is heating up, the redfish are schooling and this action last well into the winter. If you want to sightcast to redfish, with lots of double digit days, then lets plan your next fishing adventure. Winter inshore Carolina beach fishing is here and if you want to catch redfish, now is the time.
