Atlantic Coast Fishing

The Atlantic coast of North Carolina provides ample fishing for the seasoned fisherman as well as the novice. Having no experience salt water fishing I was quickly able to learn that many of the techniques used I am all too familiar with fishing on the Great Lakes. A two arm bottom bouncer rig would be all I needed to get myself into the water to try surf fishing (fishing from the beach). A few casts in I landed my first fish, a sea mullet, which isn't anything to call home about, but my first ocean catch was exciting to me. A few days later I went on a charter (I know, I know) to get out for a little deep sea fishing, where I again used techniques similar to fishing for perch on Lake Erie. However, the fish we came across were a little toothier than a lake perch. Black Sea Bass, Sea Mullet, Pinfish, Spot, and Lizard Fish were all species that I was able to catch during my time on the coast, along with a lot of memories I won't soon forget. Until next time friends...
