Thursday night last thing weather man said... zero percent chance of rain tomorrow. 15knots from the East and 37 degrees and cold rain. With the 8 by 8 hard top and the ghetto curtains we stayed dry. Finally after hours of mindless trolling we wandered our way into a good striper bite. I am sure the crew that flew all the way from Texas were thinking what the heck have we got ourselves into!?! Now we were stoked. We landed some fat fish into the forties but could not best Ches's 54lber that day! Friday off we went and the bite picked up where we left off. Only problem a bunch of boats and the bite did not last long . I decided to look elsewhere. I meandered North to Kill Devil Hills and ran into the super hoover giant radar Ches bay boats all the way down here looking for fish! Figured I better turn around and try to grind it out. It was slow slow going three bites and one fish to show for our efforts. Then as the sun started to dip and everyone went home, the fishing went off! Off the bottom the fish rose and casting trolling whatever, fish on. Big fish as well! Biggest of the bunch was a 49 inch long 51lber! Congrats to the texas crew for coming up big!
Yesterday the Watkins family came out and hit it big right out of the gates. We trolled up many fat stripers into the low forties. The the mission of the morning was complete Young gun Jacob Watkins landed his first big fish with his family. Everyone was happy. The bite died around 10.
Headed back out in the afternoon... well never marked a scale never had a bite even close to dark. Every boat seemed to be having tough luck. The bite had just shut down. Sorry for the crappy afternoon trip. All our fish were released the last few days.
Trawler season has open up again today and business as usual. I guess there is a "little more quota" left in the endless quota.
Looks like weather will keep us in for a day or two. Fishing has become a little spotty but if you get in them they seem to be fat cats. Thanks everyone for fishing.
