Hi Guys, being relatively new to NC, I would appreciate some of your local knowledge. I can fish both the Surf City & Seaview fishing piers in December/January. Can you suggest what target species should be around during these months - Trout, Red/Black Drum, Sheepshead, Sea Mullet, Spot? Based on Troy's recent advice I know to use fresh shrimp for most of them (with WD-40 of course!). Thanks in advance for any advice you can share.
The seaview pier is cheaper, but they have a nice pier. The restaurant is closed. Not sure if they will reopen. We went to Thomas seafood and got fresh shrimp to use. It's cheaper and better quality than the pier bait. A neat website to see the pier cameras is
. You can actually see if they are catching fish or not on the surf city pier.Good luck.
