The Donahue crew out today after five days of feeble weather and canceled fishing trips, sorry fellas. When it is rough it's rough. Yesterday we woke up to rain and gusts up to 40 knots. So this morning with the large swell we have been having, I figured the inlet would we breaking across the bar and not safe to cross. I was wrong, even with the tide going out, a relatively calm Oregon Inlet. So off we went searching for fish we were whacking five days ago. No running partners, actually no one around anywhere. We looked South bait, birds, whales, no bites. Water was cloudy and stirred. Late morning we decided to run up the beach making a whopping 15knots bucking up the beach. After couple hours looking around I said looks bad and tossed out a few lures cause you gotta try. Hour later around 2:30 we landed a stray 18lber. I was happy to lose the skunk and figured that was the fish of the day. Then Cinderella story, a bird dove in front of us, a lone bird, trolled to the spot and rock marks. We stayed on em for about a hour and half landing 25 fish up to 48lbs!!! Never did see a boat all day but did see the sun set off jockey's ridge.
Capt Aaron will be out there tomorrow in "The Field" and see if we can give you a little help. Look for us in a 258dlv carolinia skiff. Ken
