OK I will fess up.  We tried the fly rods but they wanted nothing of it and I couldn't cast Eddie's rod worth a hoot. 

Jerk baits and topwater stuff.  If you haven't experienced a redfish mauling a big spook, then you need to.  Jis reportin!   0--0

I was talking to a guy on the Smith yesterday who stopped to see how I was doing.  He told me if I wanted to catch a bunch of those brown trout I should get me some of those crappie minners and tie them on.  (true story)

How deep were they Beetle?  Could you guys see them, or were you blind casting around creek mouths?

Beetle

Both- but for the most part we were casting to them in shallow water.

The Dalai Lama knows just about everything and he tells me what I need to know. Eddie and another fellow named Seth are two fine guides in that area. Cape Fear river area north to Topsail has some pretty good inshore fishing. I was just pulling your chain about spinning rods and bait. Sometimes the long rod just won't do and I will resort to any legal means at that point. Flatlander I don't really know Beetle, but his holiness has warned me about people like him. Plus Woowee, Phis, Goldie, and Al have all told me about him. ;D
