Alright, let’s talk about this fishin’ thing at Kure Beach. You know, I ain’t no fancy fisherman with all them high-tech gadgets, but I’ve been throwin’ a line in the water for, well, let’s just say a good long while. So, I reckon I can tell ya a thing or two.
First off, Kure Beach, that’s a good place to catch some fish, I tell ya. Lots of folks go there. Now, some folks like to go fishin’ in them fancy boats, out in the deep water. But me? I like keepin’ it simple. Fishin’ from the shore is just fine for this old gal.
What kind of fish you gonna catch? Well, that depends on the time of year and the weather, you know. But I’ve seen folks pullin’ out all sorts of things. Some flounder, that’s always a good catch. Tasty, too. And them red drum, they put up a good fight, I tell ya. Make your arms tired, they do. And let’s not forget about speckled trout. They’re kinda pretty fish, and they taste alright too.
Now, if you wanna know when to go fishin’, that’s a bit trickier. Some folks say early mornin’ is best, before the sun gets too high. Others like to go in the evenin’, when it’s cooler. Me? I just go whenever I can get away, you know? Life’s too short to be worryin’ too much about the perfect time.
- Early mornin’ fishin’
- Evenin’ fishin’
- Anytime you can get away
But, I tell ya, the weather, that’s important. If it’s too windy, the water gets all choppy, and the fish, they don’t like that too much. And if it’s stormin’, well, you shouldn’t be out there fishin’ at all. Stay home and stay safe, that’s what I say.
There’s this thing called a “fishing report” too. Folks write these things, tellin’ you what kind of fish are bitin’ and where. I ain’t never really paid too much attention to them myself, but some folks swear by ’em. They say it helps them figure out where to go and what bait to use. You can probably find them online somewhere, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Now, about them fishin’ spots. Kure Beach, it’s got plenty of good spots. You can fish right off the pier, that’s easy enough. Or you can find a spot along the beach. Just look for a place where the water’s moving, that’s where the fish like to hang out. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try fishin’ in the inlets and creeks around there. Just be careful, them currents can be strong.
Bait? Well, that’s another thing folks like to argue about. Some folks like to use live bait, like shrimp or minnows. Others like to use artificial lures, them fancy plastic things. Me? I just use whatever I can get my hands on. Sometimes it’s shrimp, sometimes it’s cut bait, sometimes it’s even just a piece of bread. Fish ain’t that picky, you know. But one thing I always make sure of, is that my hook is sharp. You can’t catch a fish with a dull hook, that’s for sure.
And one more thing, don’t forget to bring a bucket to put your fish in. And maybe a chair to sit on, if you’re gonna be there for a while. And some sunscreen, that sun can be strong, even on a cloudy day. And most important of all, don’t forget your patience. Fishin’ ain’t always about catchin’ fish, you know. Sometimes it’s just about bein’ out there, enjoyin’ the fresh air and the peace and quiet.
So, that’s about all I know about fishin’ at Kure Beach. It ain’t rocket science, that’s for sure. Just go out there, throw a line in the water, and see what happens. You might just catch yourself a good one. And even if you don’t, well, you’ll still have a good time. That’s what matters most, ain’t it? Now, you go on and have yourself some fun. And don’t forget to tell me all about it when you get back.
Oh, and one last thing, if you see a game warden, make sure you got your fishin’ license. They don’t take kindly to folks fishin’ without one. And always remember to follow the rules and regulations, don’t keep more fish than you’re supposed to, or fish that are too small. We gotta make sure there’s enough fish for everyone.
