I’m back from my trip across the pond to Jolly Old England and ready for a break-out week of fishing. We visited my son, who currently lives and works in Exeter, UK along the Exe River. We stayed in the southwest side of the country and visited many famed towns of the Cornwall Peninsula. No there were no pirates that we could see in Penzance, never saw the guy with seven wives with their cats and kits in the sacks, on his way to St. Ives either. The Roman hot mineral baths of Bath from the first century A.D. were amazing and yes I didn’t find a local brew that I didn’t like. Now I’m back to Emerald Isle, which is now covered in a yellow haze. ACHOO!
PIERs UPDATE: Oceanana Pier-Nada (nada is not a kind of fish!). I did see false albys feeding just west of the pier. Bogue Pier-Blowfish, sharks and rays, occasional tiny bluefish on bottom rigs (Where are the bluefish?) some decent sea mullet and a black drum almost 6-pounds. Topsail Island: Seaview Pier-Water is cold there too, some blowfish and sea mullet caught. No blues yet. Surf City Pier-Excellent catches of sea mullet at night, very tiny blues and gray trout on bottom rigs only. Big blowfish, one 14.5-in. flounder, one black drum. Jolly Roger-Nighttime mullet, blowfish pups in the surf in the evening.
Where are the red drum go? Any action in the marshes and in the Haystacks? Where am I catching flounder? If you can get offshore, are there any fish out there? Any sea mullet action at the DTH and TB? Hickory shad? Stripers? 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!

I. HARVEST LIMIT
A. It is unlawful to possess more than ten (10) red drum per day taken in a commercial fishing operation, regardless of the number of individuals or vessels involved.
B. Subject to I. A. above, it is unlawful to possess more than one red drum per day in a commercial fishing operation unless the weight of the combined catch of other finfish species (except menhaden) exceeds the weight of the red drum retained.
II. TRANSFER AND SALE
A. It is unlawful to transfer red drum from one vessel to another during a fishing operation.
B. All red drum shall be sold to a licensed North Carolina seafood fish dealer and the red drum shall be sold prior to the sale of the other species component of the landed catch.
C. All legally-possessed finfish species taken in a commercial operation also taking red drum shall remain in the possession of the harvester and be transported together up to the point of sale.
III. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. This proclamation is issued under the authority of N.C.G.S. 170.4; 113-170.5; 113-182; 113-221.1; 143B-289.52; and N.C. Marine Fisheries Rules 15A NCAC 3H .0103, 03M .0501 and 03M .0512.
B. It is unlawful to violate the provisions of any proclamation issued by the Fisheries Director under his delegated authority pursuant to N.C. Marine Fisheries Rule 15A NCAC 03H .0103.
