I have trout fished really hard over the past few months, and I am actually a little burnt out on em.  I needed a change of scenery – so Matt and I packed up and made a right on the by-pass at 0600.  An hour and a half later we arrived on the Roanoke River near Plymouth.  We cruised around in the boat for a little while searching for an area to start fishing.  While driving around we came across a deer swimming across the sound – that was a first for me.  We arrived at a nice little bend in the river with 25ft of water and the depth finder lighting up.   Made a few casts and it was non stop action from then on.  We caught a mess of stripers, but they were on the small side.  The biggest one came in at 18″.   We had a great time exploring a new area and to get some pullage was just a bonus.
