11:40 p.m. Provided by US Naval Observatory ESTUARY Look For: Flounder, black drum, red drum, spotted seatrout, bluefish, sheep- shead. Comments: Capt. Mike McDonald of Gul-R-Boy Guide Service had a solid trip on Wednesday in the Winyah Bay vicinity, with his customers hooking up with black drum, flounder, spotted seatrout and croak- er. McDonald caught the trout and flounder on soft plastic grubs, and the black drum and croaker on fresh cut shrimp.

McDonald ob- served the water temper- ature has cooled a bit in the last week to a reading of 79 degrees in the bay on Wednesday. Capt. Mark Dickson of Shallow-Minded Inshore Charters in Little River has found solid catch- es of black drum, flounder, trout, croaker and a few red drum this week, despite predominantly windy condi- tions. been tough with that southwest wind but been scrapping some decent fish on most of our said Dickson. Bona- parte Creek, Dunn Sound and the Calabash River are areas Dickson has been fishing, with best success on a rising tide and the first of the falling tide.

Dickson has used fresh shrimp on a Carolina rig for the black drum, croaker and reds, and Vudu shrimp on a pop- ping cork for trout. INSHORE Look For: Spanish macker- el, king mackerel, cobia, bluefish, whiting, croaker, pompano, flounder, weak- fish, spadefish. Comments: Very windy conditions have wreaked havoc on near-shore fishing this week. On the near- shore reefs, bottom fishing with live mullet or mud minnows can produce black sea bass, weakfish, flounder and bluefish. Slow-trolling live mullet or menhaden, or even dead cigar minnows, can catch Spanish mackerel and bluefish, with king mackerel and cobia a possi- bility.

Have a rod ready to toss a bait to a curious co- bia if one shows up around the boat. Also look for Spanish mackerel around inlet passes and on hard- bottom areas near the beach. Troll Clark or Drone spoons on No. 1 planers or trolling leads to catch them. Grand Strand piers are producing scattered catches of Spanish mackerel, blue- fish, whiting, pompano, flounder, black drum and possibly king mackerel.

The ocean water temperature was 81.5 degrees Thursday at 6 p.m. at Springmaid Pier. OFFSHORE Look For: Dolphin, blackfin tuna, wahoo, grouper, black sea bass, vermilion snapper, triggerfish, red porgy, grunts, cobia, amberjack. Comments: Trolling near the break and the Gulf Stream is still producing some decent catches of dolphin, with a few wahoo and blackfin tuna, but num- bers are lower with the water temperature in the low-to-mid 80s. The good news is, the scattered dol- phin can be found closer to shore in areas such as the Parking Lot with sailfish in the same areas.

Bottom fishing is good but head to deeper water depths of 70 feet and beyond to find sizable vermilion snapper, black sea bass, triggerfish, grunts, porgy and grouper. Amberjack are common on most any reef area. Red snapper can be found, some over 20 pounds, but must be released indefinitely in South Atlantic waters. FRESHWATER Look For: Bream, catfish, crappie, bass. Comments: Ronald Stalvey III of Bait and Tackle in Conway reports good catches of bream on the Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee and the Ricefields area on the south Waccamaw and Pee Dee.

Some bream are being caught on the Little Pee Dee, but many anglers are waiting for conditions to get a little better. the Little Pee Dee, catching (bream) but not right said Stalvey. needs to get to 5 to 5 feet. when see ev- erybody in Horry County out there in their jon The river level was at 6.54 feet Thursday at 6 p.m. at Galivants Ferry and was projected to fall below 6 feet by Monday.

Stalvey notes good catches of cat- fish on eels with bass hit- ting Bang-O-Lures, plastic worms and frogs early and late in the day. GREGG HOLSHOUSER LOCAL FISHING REPORT RIO DE JANEIRO The media got a sneak peak at the of the upcoming Rio de Janeiro Olympics with a visit Thurs- day to the village, the brand new complex of residential towers where nearly 11,000 athletes and some 6,000 coaches and other handlers will sleep, eat and train during the up- coming games. Local organizers said the complex, which they de- scribed as a within the is the largest in Olym- pic history. In addition to the 31 17-story towers, the com- plex includes a massive cafe- teria and gym, a post office, a first aid center and bank. is where the soul of the games will said Mario Andrada, spokesman of the local organizing com- mittee.

While athletes re- quired to stay in the village and indeed many of the biggest-name stars may end up staying in alternative housing outside the complex organizers said the village will be the highest-security facility of a games patrolled by 85,000 police and sol- diers. twice the num- ber of security forces than were at the 2012 games in London. A double fence will ring the perimeter of the com- plex, and everyone coming in and out will be subject to airport security procedures, complete with x-rays of all incoming bags and luggage, organizers said. The idea is that once the athletes and their retinue are inside the security perimeter, need to leave the said Mario Cilenti, the director. The 3,600 units include two-, three-, or four-bedroom apartments with white tile floors and small balconies, some of which overlook a nearby hillside slum.

All the bedrooms are dou- bles, kitted out with two beds that can be extended out to 2.3 meters for the tallest athletes, as well as what appeared to be a disposable wardrobe made out of fabric stretched over a metal frame. In the living room, there are a few basic armchairs and a clothes drying rack. Cru- cially, the apartments all come with air conditioning units and electric mosquito- repelling apparatuses aimed at preventing the spread of the Zika virus, which has been linked to a surge in Brazilian cases of the birth defect microcepha- ly. Cilenti described the set- up as hitting the sweet spot between functionality and austerity now a guiding principle of the games that come as Brazil is immersed in the most severe economic recession in decades. the Cilenti said, adding, are no frills, just the basic necessi- Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes has repeatedly stressed that very little public money was spent on the Olympic project, with private companies tak- ing on many of the key con- struction projects in ex- change for concessions from the city.

Case in point is the Olympic village, which was built by a consortium that is renting the complex to Olympic organizers during the games. In exchange for building the complex, City Hall exempted the devel- opment from local zoning laws, allowing for taller-than- normal towers. The developers have long been marketing the apart- ments to the public at-large, with buyers expected to move in after the games. Officials at press visit declined to give any financial details about the Olympic village, explain- ing only that the builders could provide the cost or the asking price for the units. However, the local Olym- pic committee spokesman acknowledged that with a recession hitting Brazil, sales living up to expecta- tions.

The consortium behind the project, which will be known as or after the games, is made up of mega-construc- tion companies Carvalho Hosken and Odebrecht. Odebrecht is a key player in the sprawling corruption investigation centered around the state-run oil com- pany Petrobras. Graft had long been such an engrained part of the modus operandi that it even had a specific department whose mission was to distribute bribes, investigators in the case have said. Mayor Paes has insisted all Olympic projects are corruption-free. 2016 OLYMPIC GAMES Rio Olympic organizers unveil village where athletes to stay BY JENNY BARCHFIELD Associated Press.
