Ah bummer! If it was summer, near shore can be very sharky. Lots of Spanish to be caught near shore, but have to push off to cooler/deeper water for the nice fish when it’s hot.

Thanks for watching, Matt! Glad the videos are helping you; I actually started these videos because we had a lack of content for New River Inlet fishing. I'll try to be more vocal about what I am doing and why in the videos - also don't compare your behind the scenes to my highlight reels! Definitely some slow times out there that don't make the final cut for the video!

@@TopsailFishing I hear ya. I’m pretty new to ocean fishing. I grew up western PA catching bass and fresh water trout and now I live here and thought buying a boat and all the gear was about all I needed and learned pretty fast that was not the case 😂. I try to listen to any advice anyone gives and use it

What areas were you targeting these?

Thanks for the tip. I was actually out at Divers few days ago but they wouldn’t hit anything. Once the wind dies down, going to try a much smaller profile and sight cast to them. NRI vs WB is always interesting, WB has that wreck right off the beach and water always seems little bit warmer. I like our rocky bottom out of NRI though!
