Friday, July 30, 2010. The wind finally laid this week and the fishing began to improve. In the Salvo, Waves, Rodanthe area anglers were catching Spot, flounder, sea mullet, and blues. The catch was pretty much the same from Salvo to Avon and on the Rodanthe and Avon Piers. Some croaker, of course, was in the mix. Now that the Point is open fishermen can get there to fish and they did. There were a good number of blues and spanish caught. Sea mullet and croaker were caught when fishing on the bottom.

Tuesday, July 20, 2010. The Mullet Man has just returned from a trip to marry off his Grandson so maybe now we can keep the fishing report up to date. A blow came in this weekend and slowed the fishing in most places. However, if you tried to fish, preferrably at night, along the soundside between Salvo and Avon you had a good chance of catching a drum, a blue, or a trout. The wind was keeping the water close to shore. There were a few sea mullet and croakers caught from the beach in the Salvo, Waves, Rodanthe area. A pedestrain path to Cape Point has opened but we did not get a report from fishermen who may have made the walk.
