Wanting to know if anyone has heard of any spadefish around the Light Tower yet? Looking forward to hooking into them again this year.

I was there last weekend and there were none. Shouldnt be too long though.

up inside the bay there were some caught at the CELL,the ocean haunt dont usually hold up until 3rd week of May or water temps hit 68 in the big blue sea

amen to the spades coming around, some good meat to replace the tog.

I know they saw different strokes for different folks...I love the fight but....

I'd rather eat a turd seasoned with lemon pepper than a spade

I have a friend that calls them swimmin pok chops....YUK!

Wow Keith! I got both, and lemon pepper

Wont be long boys! Cant wait either,

There were none there a week ago. Is this verified? I would think it would be another couple weeks at least.

I agree

The big spades come first and the 2 tied records were both caught in june. They'll be here before you know it!

here we go, you can have all my turds, runny, solid,stinky,green or whatever else i can produce, free of charge. i'll even throw in some good gas.

Catch the spades and bring 'em to me. I'll trade ya!

They are on my list...I am heading down in two weeks so hoping they arrive on time.

Im sure they will be here by then.

I would like to add this.

The CLT is not a big area, Ive seen boats out there that want to hog the entire side of the tower. You cannot be the only boat on the fish, so keep that in mind.

that place could be a real mess

Yes it can, more than 1500 people have read this post. If that is in indication of interest in spade fishing.

I personally can only take a few trips a year to the CLT.

I do not know why VMRC does not make artifical reefs that have the same undewater structure as the CLT. Maybe spread them out between the navy towers and the CLT?

Im sure the oil companies would do it for free!!

Well, I'll start the rush to the Tower. The spades are in! Be friendly and share with your fellow fishermen and spearfishermen for that matter, especially since the later is giving you the heads up! Tight lines!

and the mad rush begins....
the water temp is probably dropping after the forcast for tonight
