As we all know that fishing is a free thing any body can do. So on a friday the 23 of sept. We were in lucy creek headed to broom feild and that when we were hot on baits trail.But as wearid as it is we could not catch a single fish.(bait) So we were off from 1 spot to another. Finaly we stumble across a school of mullet and shrimp. So once we get about 8 or 9 mullet we went on ahead to a location.(unanounced) So nothing was bruing so I went to the front of the boat and was practicing casting for shrimping season.I caught shrimp 4in deheaded.But after about 30 or so shrimp we went back to the landing.The storm had run us off. Sadly we went back to the landing and dehaded them and ate the bait for supper. 

3-27-10   I would like to start and say this website is the creation of NORTH VS. South. My Uncle Brandon created this site for me. Please visit icoastalnet.com and see the REEL FISHING MASTER'S site. Uncle Brandon lives in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C. and host this site and is the A-1 web master and fish master. Anyway..enough about him....we have a North Vs. South fishing competition. We have not fished much in the past but Uncle Brandon challenged us and now it is game on!!!!  Fished today after baseball practice and the wind was screaming. Dad said the wind was too much but I said let's go anyway. We were driving down the road and passed some very good friends on the road. They were not able to get the boat in the water so we invited them to fish with us. We had 5 people in the jon-boat paddling down the creek. Hit the sand bar and bailed out. We set up and started throwing the 1/4 oz jig head tipped with dead shrimp. First fish was caught by Grandaddy Crews. Pulled him on the sand bar (about a 22 incher) and the hook came out and away he went. We fished for about 2 hours and reeled in about 10 red drum and 3 black drum. Thanks to Thomas, Jeff, Grandaddy Crews and Austin for a great day fishing. 

This Blog was written by Chris Bell (Capt Austin's Dad) with the approval of Capt. Austin Bell because he is asleep right  now.  Also thanks to Carmen Bell (Mom) and Camryn Bell (sister) for being such great supporters of our fishing addiction!!!

Weather:Overcast and warm (60-65 degrees) with the sun showing its face a little. Strong wind at the start, but calmed down. Dead low and tide started coming in quick!!!

Grandma came to visit. I had baseball practice at noon but after that I was on the backseat of the truck changing out of baseball pants into my bathing suit, We got to our hole and BAM..Grandma Freda hooks up. She fought the fish and finally landed it. Oh yeah...a 26" spottail..She was so excited and her biggest fish ever..but now..it was my turn..We changed it up this time. We usually fish with a jig head but today it was a flounder rig (2 feet of 20lb test with a 1/2 oz weight and a circle hook). The next one was all mine and 27 inches of brute strength. My dad said this was the heaviest fish of this size we have ever caught. We caught some real nice fish and it was such a cool deal to catch fish with my Grandma Freda while fishing at my other Grandma's (aka Chooch). Fishing is the coolest thing on earth to me. Take your kids and your grandparents because everyone will love it.

PS...Dad wrote this BLOG with the approval of Capt. Austin. Austin told me on this day how much he appreciated his parents (Chris and Carmen Bell) and yes his little sister Camryn too. Take your kids fishing and be patient. Or take your kids and do anything they love and you will never regret it.

Weather:Overcast and cool. 1 hour on the side of an incoming tide.

 3-16-10   It was a Tuesday night and Austin had school the next day. My heart was still pounding from our catch the previous Sunday. Austin had standardized testing so NO HOMEWORK!!! I was almost home and called the house and told him to be ready and get the rods. It was getting late and by the time we arrived the tide had rolled in. We were an hour late. I was afraid we had missed the show. Well...the show was not a blockbuster but in just over an hour we managed to boat 5 fish. We hooked another but never saw him. He took off and the drag was singing. It was the most beautiful song in the world...I know you've heard it!!!! Then, just that fast he was gone..spit the hook. Great afternoon in the water on a school night, and much more fun than HOMEWORK!!!! 

Weather: 50 and overcast, slight wind

It all started on March14, 2010

My dad and I planned to go fishing this morning. We thought it was too windy to splash the boat so I said hey lets go to pop and chooch's house. We check the tide to make sure that we arrived in time to fish both sides of the low tide. When we got there we went to the last spot where we caught 13 fish in Nov. We normally fish from the dock when we get there to see if we can pick up some fish. On this day, for some reason, we immediatley slid the jon boat off the dock and paddled down the creek. When we got to the spot there was a little sand bar for us to pull the boat on and for us to stand on and fish. My first cast hit the water and the bite was on for four hours. We (me and dad) fished for two hours and finaly our friends called and wanted to come. We had some 15 inchers and some 28 inchers in those first two hours. My dad paddled around the corner and left me behind. (With my life jacket on). While he was gone I landed two a 17 incher and a 28 incher. When he came back my best friend Colton and Mr.Brett where on there on there way. I knew Colton was going to have a blast. Colton and I caught almost all the fish and we were reeling in all of them while Mr.Brett and my dad where trying to keep up taking pictures.  It was so crazy and the adrenaline was pumping. We had multiple hook ups and one triple. Every time Colton hooked on he was like (you mine or in your face but my fav he said was i busted you up). He did awesome for an 8 year old. Back to the story. Mr.Brett brought a popper cork and a jig head with chartreuse green gold flake screw tail grub. Mr.Brett also brought some frozen shrimp and we swettened the hook and put half of one on but tried to hide the hook. We had a awesome day and took pics of 40 and then we got hooked with trips and could not take any more but we think we caught 60 fish. My dad and I love jigging the bait so when I fish I think "get jiggey with it". 

Weather Forcast:

Medium wind,warm sun came in and out frequently.

On 1-22-10 my dad and I went shark fishing in the beaufort river. It was a long and boring day, only and 1 spot tail.But as soon as we were about to turn in I said lets cast at the stingray hole. Out of no where my rod bends like crazy. It took me at the best 6-7 mins to reel it in.It was a shark that was over 40in... it was crazy.But by the end of the day we ended up with 5 sharks at the end. Measuring 35-40" it was awesome that shark was the biggest fish I'v ever cought. i'll have the pictures up in a bit. 

Weather condtions:Cold and overcast. Sun never peeked out and wind was howling.

13 fish caught on 12-27-09. Austin begged to go in the row boat. I did not want to launch the dingy but as you can see it was well worth it.
