Nice catfish. double digit to large teen catfish isn't rare in the hudson river here in NY, but still a good catch. Usually most fisherman are avoid catfish here while fishing for striped bass.
Went to Topsail NC last week. Many fisherman were not catching much on the pier. Managed to catch a few bluefish and a small spanish mackeral. Spent 4 whole days on the pier kingfishing. Usually between 5 and 25 folks fishing for them. No runs or catches. Water was too cloudy from wind.
Almost got a 5ft hammerhead shark on the pier. Too many people right next to me look at the fish to fight it properly. Got wrapped around the pier pile-on and btoke off. Was surprised how weak the fight was. Had 30lb mono with a steel leader. Kinda glad he let off a bit though.
Vacuum sealed what I did catch and brought home maybe 12lbs of bluefish fillets and a few pounds of whiefish / mullet and some spots. Had to throw back a nice flounder.
I do better early may or late april, but wife likes the better weather right before memorial day.
