Been predicting a red drum year as in days of yore this Fall, and it appears to be on the way already. Many guys are taking monster fish you usually don't see til October.
Check this beast out! http://www.ncangler.com/forums/threads/99697-Trip-of-a-lifetime!
if the present storm does turn north, as of this morning it will not do so until Thursday. Hermain kept me away a few weeks ago, so we should get our week in.
Thank you sir. Tuesday and Wednesday show 17-30 mph, but hopefully that will change.
I will never forget my first fishing experience at Hatteras. 1987, fishing from the Pier, 7ft rod, 250 yards of new 12# test, some old local on the pier gave me a strip of flounder belly ( I know) to use as bait. First cast, within minutes I told my brother-in -law, hey I got a bite. Whatever it was proceeded in taking all 250 yards of my new line without even slowing down while all I can do is hold on. PING, line snaps off where tied to reel. Welcome to Hatteras fishing.
Listen guys. Just saw the weather. Matthew may turn out to sea, but now it looks like our coastline will see some effects, like heavy winds to 50mph or more, depending on its track. Please stay tuned to the local weather and be safe..This will be latter part of the week, like Thursday or Friday.
Nothing going on up here... Tried for crappies mid day just a few white perch. Couldn't get back at sundown.....probably take it slow tomorrow try ancatch something from the surf tomorrow...
Maybe hit the crappie spot at sundown maybe take a lantern an try to draw them in after dark.
Right now, Hurricane Matthew's track is anyone's guess, but most projections having it coming near our coast as a cat 3 or 4 storm late in the week. There is a trough that may pick it up and steer it out to sea, but that remains to be seen. Just keep informed.
Governor McCrory just listed 66 eastern NC counties as being under a state of emergency. The timeline now looks like late Friday/early Saturday. Still an iffy track, however, but we are gonna be affected one way or another. Just be safe.
Thanks NC. We are all keeping a close eye on things. Looking like wensday ill make my final desicion on when to pack it up an head back. Still hoping for the best but will be ready for the worst.
Other then the Matthew threat the weather has been great.
Fishing not so great in the sound here except white perch. All them you can handle alot of dinky ones with big ones mixed in. Im just targeting them like I would crappie. A small float an ice jig .
Tip with a crawler for faster dinkier action.im just paddling to the ends of long docks an dipping the posts.. But the big ones pull hard on my panfish gear.
No crappies or bass. A few really big gills. They came at nite under lights.
I havnt given the surf a go yet really. Just a few minutes. But if the winds not bad tomorrow I plan on hitting it a few hours. Ill toss a jig around an see what happens.
If its not bad wensday I plan on heading south with the kayak an see if I can't find something....
My second try at fishing here in Avon in the last month, and here we go again!!!
Leaving here tomorrow morning and heading home to fish Piedmont and Tappan on Friday and Saturday.
So windy here today that 3oz. Weight would not hold. Two days, one small Spot.
Gonna leave before the exodus begins.
