I need some help fishing in the North Carolina Inter-coastal waterway.?
Ok here is the deal, I go fishing about two times a month with my dad. We stay at a campground just above ocean isle beach and launch his boat into the intercoastal waterway to. In reality all we are doing is going on a boat ride because we hardly ever catch anything. I’m not really looking for any specific type of fish however I would like information from anyone that has any type of help to offer. We usually fish the area between holden beach and the ocean isle bridge. I would like to know what kind of rig(weight size, hook type and size also) to use, what type of bait, for different fish. I feel like I’ve wasted my money I recently bought about 150$$$ worth of tackle included all of the following:
8lb power_pro braided line
20lb Seaguar flourocarbon leader
an inshore soft plastics kit from bass pro
a speck trout and redfish soft plasics kit
and a d.o.a. shrimp soft plastics kit with dvd
Please Help a frustrated Novice fisherman.
those may work, but for the novice inshore saltwater angler, the best thing you can do is “junk fish.” junk fishing is making a botoom rig and using cut bait or shrimp and catching just about anything. And you’ll save a lot of cash if you return everything. If you don’t, its alright, you’ve just got to invest about $30-40.
first things first, you’re gonna need a shopping list; don’t worry, almost everything’s cheap.
1. stren 20 pound test original line. stren is the best line on the market, hands down
2. a pack or 2 of 12 inch steel leaders
3. eagle claw lazer sharp circle sea hooks in any size that looks like it will catch fish your rod will handle
4. a few packs of 1 and 1.5 ounce egg sinkers, have about 10 or 15 total sinkers in case you get snagged
alright, rigging is simple:
1. after you spool your rod with the 20 pound line, slide an egg sinker up your line (depending on current, use a heavier one if stronger current)
2. tie on a steel leader (make sure its the solid part you tie to your maine line, not the snap part).
3. put one of your circle hooks on the snap end of the swivel.
when you’re on your way to go fishing, pick up bait at a bait store. Buy cut mullet (if in stock) and two other types. if store sells mud minnows, buy 1 or 2 dozen. also try asking a store clerk to reccommend a few baits to use.
when fishing, simply cast out and hold on to your rod and wait. if fishing from the pier or the bank, just cast out. if casting from a boat, cast out anywhere. also, if you have a fish finder on the boat, locate fish under the boat & just drop your rig straight down. also, REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR LINE TIGHT. do not let your line have slack in it, a fish can pick up your bait and drop it & you’d never know.
i picked you circle hooks for a few reasons. 1) you don’t have to set the hook. it doesn’t hurt if you do, but the way to hook a fish with a circle hook is to just give the fish a strong pull with the rod. 2) circle hooks have a low chance of gut hooking fish. novice anglers dont want to mess with a fish with a swallowed hook.
you can catch a variety of fish this way:
redfish
speckled trout
stingray (which are surprisingly fun and very common-this is what youll most likely catch)
shark (another fun & common fish)
jack crevalle
tarpon (rare)
grouper
flounder
snapper
and a bunch of others like grunters, sea catfish, etc…
make sure to bring a pair of pliers to get the hook out. sharks can bite (duh) and stingrays can actually bite hard too (rub their lips with your pliers if you catch one & they’ll show you their big flat teeth- its cool) pretty much every saltwater fish has teeth, so pliers are the safest way to remove the hook.
send me a message for my email if youd like to show me pictures of your catch! id love to see them!
and good luck! (not that you’ll need it, this is foolproof- if theres fish there (and its the perfect time of year for inshore on the nc icw) this will catch em!)

Pike Fishing Tackle Checklist
So you have decided that you want to go out fishing for Pike. Here, I present you an essential checklist for an enjoyable day down at the waters edge. I will describe all the various pieces of tackle and other equipment you need for an enjoyable day.
Rod
The rod is the most obvious piece of kit needed for pike fishing. Pike rods are generally stronger than standard coarse rods. The reason for this is obvious; Pike tend to be heavier and stronger than your average coarse fish. Your rod needs to be able to deal with the extra strain these predators subject.
Reel
The reel is the component which allows you to store, cast and retrieve line. If it malfunctions, you won’t be getting the line out there, if it malfunctions while the line is out then you can say goodbye to your pike as you will likely be cutting your line. This is not just bad for you but also very bad for the fish as the hook can trap its mouth causing the fish to starve to death.
Generally speaking, the more you spend on a reel, the better. Pike reels are also designed to carry the heavier line required for pike fishing. Which brings us to the line itself.
Line
As, hinted at a couple of times above, Pike are heavy, strong fish, Pike line must be strong enough to withstand the weight and fight of the fish. As such, Pike fishing line is generally braided making it much stronger than a single strand. Your local tackle shop will be able to discuss the various option and select the optimal line for the conditions, and your rod and reel.
Lures
Your choice of lures is the single most important factor in determining the success of your fishing session. If you employ poor lure selection, you won’t be getting the bites. If you don’t get the bites, you aren’t going to be catching the fish. A successful lure depends on a huge number of factors from time of year, depth of the water body, habits of the fish, time of day and many many more. Pop into your local tackle shop and have a chat. A competent salesman will be able to take all of the variables and point you in the direction of the correct lure for your application.
Other Gear
Landing nets are advisable for getting the fish safely out of the water. Think about it. Would you like to be pulled out of the water solely by a hook in your mouth? Neither do fish, treat the fish with care and respect and they will be there to fish for years to come. Another fish care item is an unhooking mat, these mats keep the fish off the sometimes rocky banks, again protecting them.
If you have money to burn you can spend thousands on Pike tackle and there is something for almost every situation you may come across. Learn from your experiences and be equipped for the next time the situation arises.
