Well the storm passed with little to no damage up here in town. Some of the towns down south (Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo) got hit pretty hard. I got back on the water with Ken to see if the storm effected the fishing at all. Nope!
Caught a handful of drum and some flounder and the water was already nice and clear. Looking forward to my trips this week. Still plenty of openings so give me a call and book your trip!
And the excellent drum fishing continues! This fella pulled on a few of these angry drum yesterday. After fish 3, he had me holding the rod up because his arms were beat. Great stuff – that smile says it all. We drifted for flounder for a bit and caught a handful of throwbacks. Thanks for joining me!
On another note, it looks like Hurricane Arthur hates America.
Stay safe out there – hoping for the best, I know these fish will be hungry after this mess.
Signing off . . . see you guys after the storm!
Morning trip I had Brent and Company. We had the kiddos on this one, so we busted out the bottom rigs and kept the action hot and heavy. We ended up pulling a couple keeper flounder during our drifts. We went looking for drum for the last hour of the trip, and managed 1 bite that came unbuckled.
The second trip today, WOW! We started out drifting for flounder, with one small one and some bycatch. We headed over to start looking for drum – and landed 1 sight casting in pretty short order. Then I got the call that changed everything. The mother load of drum were piled up and chewing. We went over there and caught them solid for 2 hours straight. These boys will have some sore arms!
Fished with Timothy and crew yesterday. It was windy, very windy….. NE 20+
Started off the morning on the flats looking for drum. Didn’t take long and we were bowed up on a double. One pulled. Put some meat in the box and went looking for flounder. Wind made the fishing challenging so I put the boat on the trailer mid trip , and moved to the backside of the island. We fished hard for a few bites but one really counted a big ol doormat flounder. Unfortunately he pulled right next to the boat and has another chance at life. Hopefully we can fry his @$$ next year. Thanks Tim & crew!
Busy week so I am just going to throw up some photos of the past few trips. This site won’t be turning into one that just throws up photos every now and then, I promise! I am off today so this is all you get, HA! Time to catch up on stuff around the house / yard / office / truck / boat / tackle / and the list goes on.
