Then there is the landing off the back of his property to the river, where there is not one but two V20's lounging waiting for the next adventure

The next day took a ride around with Lee and Sandy and got the lay of the land, pretty country. Picked us up a bushel of fresh crabs and had us a feast at Lee's house with his neighbors coming to join in. Dam those crabs were good.

Lee's good friend and neighbor two doors down has himself one of the most mint V20's I have seen. Actually its a V21 with 200 hours on it since he bought it new. Very, very sweet. His name is Tom and he and his wife are fine people we had a blast with. took a tour of his set up and like Lee's it is sweet.

glad you enjoyed Fins they do have good food. Beaufort is a pretty town, did you by chance ride by Black Beards House while there? it's just right up the street from Fins. Wish i had been down while you were passing thru.

So we finally left on Saturday, had to attend a birthday party on the beach in Lavalette NJ.

It was a great trip, met some very fine folks, hooked up Ozzie to Lee via phone while down there and we are going to do a striper get together this fall hopefully.

And to Dave (Spareparts) and Ozzie I have this message, yes I do know the difference between a Yankee and a Dam Yankee.

I also know what fine people are when I meet them and I just had the pleasure of the company some very fine people.

Thanks Lee and Sandy for your great southern hospitality. And you know where your next trip is, right.

Yep Sandy and I will make a trip up north to see ya'll, you have us thinking when Sandy's job ends that may the time to take a trip.

I'm glad ya'll had a great time and youre welcome back anytime.

Ozzie: I'm serious about hooking up this winter and catching the ocean stripers. Willy says he's game.

Maybe some of you others would like to hook up and go, we could probably get some of the VA boys to go.

Well well,

Nice touch of southern hospitality boys.:nice:

Lucky Mr and Mrs Willy.

We go on about you Yanks...but the truth is, some of the finest folks I've ever encountered were from up there...I had a boss once who was a former NYC Policeman prior to finding his way to SC...what a gentleman...EVERYBODY loved "The Bear" and he would do anything for you...as fair-minded an individual as I've ever met...

Any barrel of apples has it's gooduns and baduns...we got some pretty big homegrown @$$holes down here too...

well lets just see if we can hook up that fishing trip Oz, I have a stash in Lee's freezer now.:beer::beer:

Sounds pretty good to me...been tryin' to tail-gate onto one of BR's many trips for years...wanna see if he can throw in w/us for somethin' like that??...Hey BR!!...

BR and Garage...what do ya'll generally use for lures/bait on those OBX stripers?...anybody usin' live bait??...

Oz, if they are thick the thing to do is get over the schools and cast/jig for the fish with bucktail jigs w/trailers. Also mojos on the bottom work well. If the fish are spread out we put out the stretch 30 plugs (spread of 5) and go huntin. No live baiting for us, but I suppose if you could catch some pogies live bait would work. What a lot of people are doing is the umbrella rigs with the soft shad bodies in chartreuse with a mojo supply the weight at the bottom. That and tandem rigs will catch 2 or more striped ones at one time! "Meat fishing" LOL
:happy:
We'll be going to VA Beach....LETS HOOK UP!!
