Carolina Beach Web Site Launches Button That Links To Fishing Report For Nearby Waters

Link Provides Up-To-Date Information On “What’s Running”

Carolina Beach, NC (PRWEB) April 16, 2006 -- Carolina Beach, N.C. has put a new “fishing report” button up on its popular Web site, www.carolinabeachgetaway.com. Located on the left side of the Web site’s home page, the fishing report button links visitors to “Hook, Line And Sinker,” which reports on what fish are “running” at the time the visitor accesses the site. Information on “Hook, Line And Sinker” is provided through Carolina Beach’s Elite Charter Boats and written by Steve and Karen Labanec, owners of Seagull Bait & Tackle Shop.

For the avid fishermen, the convergence of the Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean provide ideal fishing conditions near Carolina Beach. There are opportunities for surf fishing, bottom fishing, shell fishing, pier fishing and deep-sea fishing. Carolina Beach plays host to several annual fishing tournaments each summer and fall, drawing thousands of visitors to this fishing Mecca.

“Carolina Beach is recognized as a great destination for those who love to fish,” said Karen Labanec. “The Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and the yacht basin are great spots for those in search of everything from Snapper to Speckled Trout. Fishing is a huge draw for the town so it just makes sense for the Web site, to provide as much information as possible to let those who love to fish know what’s biting and when.”

As spring arrived, Puppy Drum could be caught in the ocean surf. Offshore, Yellow Fin Tuna and Snapper were still running, while the Waterway and yacht basin were teaming with Speckled Trout.

“Summer is just around the corner and it’s the most popular fishing season, so we expect to see the Carolina Beach Web site getting a lot of action as people check out the fishing report,” said Judith A. Grizzel, President and CEO of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority, which promotes Carolina Beach and other communities in the Cape Fear region. “The information in the report comes from experienced people who are actually out there fishing every day. So this is a great resource.”
