harkers island time....

just returned from an early am puppy drum quest.... no luck this morning. i'm now back at the rental doing domestic bs and waiting for the tide to turn to high this afternoon so i can get the boat into the marshes.

bluefish, i'm the bluefish king. we can catch bluefish all day.

ran outside yesterday looking for some early albies. we found some about five miles offshore. they were uncooperative and would only stay on top for a minute or so and than pop-up again 400 yards away.

we've all caught some nice reds.... jeff landed a 26" last evening.

i'll try and post some pics on a bad weather day.....

yesterday the winds finally laid down allowing willi and i the first opportunity in 5 days for outside. we headed out beaufort inlet and headed down along atlantic beach in search of some albies, macks, blues, sharks....

we stumbled upon a huge bait ball that soon became a small one..... macks are voracious feeders and those silversides were decimated by the macks.

macks are a blast on the fly. later on a different bait ball, i spotted some very fast green streaks mixed in with the macks.... albies!

busted the 9wt on one, rigged up the 10 wt. the trick was a good size split shot above the fly to get it down in the albie zone below the macks.

our tally for the day.... willi.. 2 lost albies, the last one 12+ pounds.... countless macks.

wally, countless macks, bit finger, two lost albies, busted 9wt....

oh yeah, saw some sharks but they were gone before rigging for them was possible.....

sun will be up in a few, see ya on the water....
