Increasing Casting Distance – Fine Tuning Your Reel
Last month I fished with a friend that was new to saltwater and he was having trouble getting the cast distance that he wanted.

Spring Flounder Trickle
While the fall flounder run is a well-known spectacle, the spring return is a more subtle "trickle" that begins as early as late February. Unlike the concentrated mass exodus of the fall, spring flounder gradually re-enter estuaries through passes and channels, eventually spreading throughout the bays from deep ledges to shallow marsh guts. This transition period offers excellent opportunities for anglers willing to brave the spring winds, using sinking lures for deep water early in the season and shallow-water shrimp imitations as temperatures rise.Apr 15th, 20260

Little River Trails Aquaculture Addresses Demands for Fish Consumption and Declining Flounder Populations
