Fishing in Bald Head Island

Many people consider fishing is a sport.  We totally agree.  Fishing is quite big in Bald Head Island and we have met many people on the island who are crazy about fishing.

We saw this cart in Cape Fear in Bald Head Island with all the gears one can think of for sea fishing, fishing poles, pole holders, etc.












For sea fishing, you want to catch big fish.  To catch big fish, they use small fish as bait.  To get small fishes, they use the net, throw the net to the water to do that.









Then, they would throw the bait and the hook to the water far away from the shore.  To get it far from the shore, many would get into the water too.










Next step will be waiting patiently for fish to get onto the hook.  Patience is very important in this step.  Many people get big fishes, about 3-6 feet long, get them on shore, unhook them, take some pictures, then, let them go back to the water alive.
