Too Pretty For Fishing? Morehead City Port

March 15th, Upper 60's and winds East at 3 MPH. Fishing in super calm conditions can prove to be almost impossible to get a bite going. Today was no exception to this rule, but I was able to pick at a few fish. Let me know if you had any better luck...
16" Sundance Skiff, 30HP Mercury
Shimano Torium 20HG - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 6'6" Heavy, Medium Fast
Penn Fathom 25NLD2 - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 5'8" Heavy, Medium Fast
Shimano Stradic 4000 - Fenwick HMG 7', Medium Fast
100 Pound Power Pro, 80 Pound Fluorocarbon Leader
Catch Mud Crabs under "stuff", below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES, oyster cuts are nasty). The purple crabs with spots and striped legs are stone crabs and are illegal to possess.
Catch Sea Urchins on pilings and other structure below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES, the spines are non-venomous but can leave splinters and oyster cuts are nasty), I recommend using a crab net.

Thanks for the update on the crab net for sea urchins. I really enjoy your videos and we fish the same spots. At some point I hope to run into you.

Nice catch again! I would’ve been to the reef looking for bonitos but was working on fixing up the truck all day. Glad to see you get ‘em!

[@GAFisherman]

Looks like you had the gear to get it done. Mom (93) said those things look like they would pull hard. Thanks for the video

[@drumcrazykayakfishing9514]

The jetty was on fire that day! Great video as always :)

[@charmainevandiford6622]

I live in Kinston and have fished the same places and have had some good days. Bait is the hard part. I had a Sea Pro 23 foot but sold it and now have a 16 foot John boat but it would do fine at the Port. Maybe see you on the water sometime.

[@hotboxfishingexperience2432]

Planning on fishing the next three days, looks like it's not gonna be that calm so maybe we can put some in the box.

[@walte99]

Just found your channel and like it very much! Please tell me though, where do you get the sea urchins? I have never seen them a little south in Georgetown/Murrells Inlet, SC.

[@offkilterfishing]

Check the description for the video, I would look for them at a bridge near the inlet. Good Luck

[@trishcotto4530]

Nice

[@hef-outdoors2116]

[@offkilterfishing]

Thanks, I added my set ups to the description

Can you find mud crabs in winter?

[@sambalatsias7709]

You da man!

[@leeknight5531]

We need to get together and go catch some of those tasty fish

What's part of Morehead was u fishing

[@lukasfx7542]

I'm visiting my dad in Beaufort this Friday and I was wondering what is the best way to get the mud crabs.
Edit: and also sea urchins.

[@offkilterfishing]

Mud crabs live under stuff below the high tide line, wear gloves. You can find urchins along the bridge pilings at low tide, wear gloves or use a net. Good luck on your adventures.

[@scottranes6462]

Any recommendations for surf fishing Motörhead this weekend? What bait? What’s chewing the best?

[@offkilterfishing]

I would use fresh shrimp for virginia mullet and black drum or metal spoons for bluefish. I don’t use shrimp that I wouldn’t eat. Also look for sand fleas when the tide drops. Good luck!

[@scottranes6462]

@@offkilterfishing, thank you so much!!

[@boguefishing5211]

Correction, nice mud crabs. I have only ever heard the muds have white / brown claws and stones have purple. Had not heard of the rings on the legs. I stand corrected.

[@alexchristopher8855]

Yeah buddy... he knows that

[@offkilterfishing]

I try to warn people about this as well. Mud crabs can have a blueish purple tint to the claw but stone crabs are much prettier, spotted, brighter purple and have striped legs. I carry a print out of the difference between them because I don't trust that a marine patrol officer will know the difference, honestly.

[@boguefishing5211]

@@alexchristopher8855 Yeah, I stand corrected, I just saw purple and didn't want anyone to get a ticket. Glad I did, I have been putting back a lot of good bait, now I know.

[@ThouDrunk]

I have separate coolers for drinks and fish 😂

[@peterjackson2952]

I live in havelock, do you take anyone fishing with you???

[@scottgreatkids]

Where and how do you get your sea urchins?

[@offkilterfishing]

I just added this information to the description, good luck

[@sambalatsias7709]

Can’t catch ‘em on the couch capt
