Croaker Run

[RiverbumCO]

There was reportedly a massive croaker run down in the inlet between Morehead City and Atlantic Beach.  There were boats anchored up everywhere, catching the shit out of croakers.  I didnt catch not one of those. 

Friend has a big boat.  Maybe he will join up if he stops being such a pussy.






We were into albies within 12 hours of landing in town.  Warning: some meat fishing and spin rodding will be included in this report.  Caught a lucky break and the albacore were blitzing within sight of the condo off the beach.  They didnt stay up long, and the action was fast, but we were able to get some.







He says hello.


Then shit got real.





5 minutes later.



Others joined in.



Midday slowed down but they showed back up a little farther off around 6.



So did these jolly fellows.



Day one in the books.



Now, i have caught a lot of large fish (penis size compensation), but i have never caught an 8 pound carp and said during the retrieve "this fucker must be 50 lbs!"  I seriously thought id hooked a damn king mackerel or some other big shit.  Lot of fight in these guys, its retraded.

Day two the albies were gone, but the fiesty and tasty Spanish were around.  We also caught a bluefish blitz but took no pictures.  Intense action for about an hour.



Then we stumbled upon a large school of sharks goin crazy.  I mean cray.  Slashing, jumping, fucking eating shit big ass sharks.  There was a very brief wmt hookup on a musky fly.  I cant stress 'brief' enough.







Then this dude caught one.  It was a neat experience.  He was a fishy guy all around on light tackle.





When shit calmed down we went back in for inshore species con gurglers.



No dice and we couldnt get back in the skinny with the big boat so I gave in to my inner demon and caught this guy on live mullet.  We filleted that bitch, too.  Suck it.



Fuck her right in the pussy.

Well, if you don't have the rod, you have the hat.

Peckerheads. 

But, OK.

Punes. I caught a 5" pecker croaker. The rest was a dry fucking on astro-turf. It hurts...

Georgetown sucked, so I'm glad somebody caught fish this weekend.

Can we get a close up of the buffs?  I judge ppl by the pattern of their buffs.  Thanks.

Very cool.  I enjoyed the photos – I almost got seasick from just looking at them.

That didn't suck much at all. 

Needs more croaker.

Sorry, I forgot to ask.  Could you please explain the Miley Cyrus tongue stunt by your mate?  I instinctively glided over that photo at first.  After reviewing a second time, I don't believe it was the gorgeous salty photos that made me semi-ill.  It was THAT shot that triggered the queasiness.

everybody I look at instinctively makes that face.  I boil with sex appeal, Stevie.
