INSHORE - Hey guys, Ben Ricks of Ricks Brothers Outdoors here. Well the old drum buzz got everyone excited but the bite as been a little slow this week. Don't be disappointed it will likely heat back up any day now. More fish should be showing up every day so your chances of catching a 40 pound plus fish is getting better by the day. If I can help you catch a fish of a lifetime please give me a call (252) 333-9332. Trout fishing has remained steady throughout most of the summer and this week is no exception. Flounder and slot Redfish have finally started to show up.

The Popping Cork bite has been exceptional, small skinny cigar clackers are producing the most fish using an assortment of soft plastics underneath.

Finally don't forget about the Neuse River Summer Slam. For more information please see the Neuse River Summer Slam Facebook Page or call (828) 612-1876
