Gotta get up to date here been fishing quite a bit recently. 9th,10,11,12th were bad weather days. Not saying you could not physically make it but tripping over each other and sliding all over the place just is not fun to me on any boat. Then you get the the good weather days and that is what we had here for the last few days. The fish sizes have been all over the place ranging from 14-52lbs! The stripers have made us burn some fuel seeming to concentrate in the Corolla area. One day we got fish off Kitty Hawk which is a 20 mile run. The fish we have been landing have been released, yes even the 52lber. Young Caleb got himself a 38lb citation on the 14th. He and his buddy showed the grandfathers there is hope for future generation fishermen as they wrestled 17 fish to the boat.
Brower crew fished a long hard day with me and scrapped out a catch. The Johnson crew came in on a last minute call and tried it. We had picked up 17 fish when number 18 hit and ole lucky Sink on his own lure bested a 50lber. His fish had a bad eye but I guess it was doing alright eating as fat as she was. After a few high fives and pics he let her go and another quick circle and hooked up! Another heavy fish and Jason finally drug up another piggy! 52lbs! I just had to check but this fish had two good eyes. She was shaped like the Capt with a rather fat belly! Pics lengths and girths for taxidermy purposes and back she went. Put the baits back out and around again and again no more nibbles. Thanks everyone for fishing and looking forward to cobia fishing with you guys this summer!!!
