Mamby Pamby Land!?!

Fishing has been great on the Rock Solid lately.  I have not undated since the 27th trip.  We have had a real large body of fish off the Kitty Hawk/ KDH area.  Well same perennial anglers on the Fri.  and Sat.  We whacked them all day jigging even landed them on fly on Fri. .  Somewhere 50 plus fish.  One forty pounder released and most everything in the 12-25lb class.  Fish are on the small whale bait minnows and picky birds and just does not seem like you catch the mobys in that bait.  So the next day I pitched "lets go south"  we will not have to fish in 500 boats on a calm Sat and when we find them they will be the piggies!   Last couple times I tried this it worked to the tune of a pair of 54 lbers , 48, and a 42.  Also another time 350lbs of fish on a 10 fish limit.  Thanks to all my friends up the beach who called me to tell me they were whacking them.  Off we went at the crack of ten way down South to Mamby Pamby land.  We found a huge area of whales and floating fatbacks on the surface with hundreds on gannnets hanging on the water.  Looked like we missed the bite with only scales and feathers to look at.  Fatback marks dogshark marks and no stripers to get....  Out down and in and out we looked..looked like I chose poorly...We even fished some surefire humps and ledges...  Well at least we were not scared.  Talking with my buddies up North the bite had died and running up this late in the game was not a choice anyways. The morning up the beach sounded so good looks like you could of trolled a hotdog and caught them.  So next time you find yourself out to lunch in Mamby Pamby land you can laugh and think of me.  Guess what,  I would try it again! 
       Sunday we went North up to Kitty Hawk and whacked them pretty darn good with the Johnson party.  We landed them jigging and trolling. 

Monday we got pushed off a day with strong winds and rough seas.  Yesterday the fog bowl was back out but we found excellent jigging with super Capps whacking 50 plus fish jigging in huge clounds of striper marks.  It was pretty cool we had 2.5 knots of downtide and we could just about dead stick the shads and we kept two-four fish on all morning and early afternoon. 
30+ mph winds kept us off today.  Thanks everyone!!
