I am the chairman of the Aquarium Pier at Emerald Isle advisory committee; please send me your concerns suggestions or comments. Help us make a great pier!

Check out my article on winter trout fishing with Capt. Rick Patterson in the Raleigh News & Observer. Winter is Time for Trout by Richard Ehrenkaufer (Dr. Bogus) http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/outdoors/story/295144.html
Also, check out my article in the Feb.4, 2010 issue of The Fisherman, Mid Atlantic Edition: Speculate on Winter for Speckled Trout, by Dr. Bogus
This week was again a slow fishing week. There were few fish caught and very few fishermen out there to get any data on the comings and goings of our local winter species. Personally I landed a few specks late last week in the creeks using some of the Matzuo soft plastics fished lowly and slowly on a cork. The ones I landed were feisty, but due to their body “strawberries” I could tell that there were net survivors, so I released them back from whence they came. Seeing that they had escaped such encounters of the net kind I wasn’t going to be the one to kill them. As usual, there the creeks were full of bait, mostly mullet and several times I stopped fishing for fear of hooking a aerial pelican on its decent or an unseen cormorant chasing a fish.
Any trout at the CLR Jetty? What were the rumors on local stripers? Did anyone get offshore? Any pier action? Anything at all out there? How do Jan. 2010 water temps compare with an average year? For this and much more, you can subscribe to the full "Totally Bogus Fishing Report" for less than 7-cents/day, only $25/year. It's winter fishing time, so there’s no reason for YOU to miss out!
Just send a check for $25 and your e-mail address to:
