We have caught our share off VA beach this year and with this cold front they are starting to move south. Its still a quicker run from Va Beach at about 10 miles. If your interested in fishing in that area check out tidalfish.com they give good fishing reports from that area.

Thanks, Stillrunning...I'm doin good to get to Murray...much less OBX... ;D ...Blue Runner's been goin' to OBX...wanted to pass info to him ;) ...

Thanks RAP - I've been seeing the reports. You know me, I have to know what's going on. I usually get a picture of what's going on by going to 4 or 5 sites a day and getting reports. As you know, striper fisherman don't like to tell you much, especially the charters but some are better than others when it comes to info.

So, all a inland rec like me can do is read as many reports as possible and fabricate their own idea of what's happening.

From what I've gathered, its exactly as you say - 40 to 45 mile run from OI then its hit or miss - one day balls to the wall limit out in 15 minutes and next day hunt and peck and hopefully scrape out a limit. Problem is your fishing time is severely limited when you have to do so much running. :-/

Check out these pics from one of my ol standby charter sites. This guy said screw it and moved his boat from OI to Rudee this year. Looks like its paying off too. These pictures truly beat all I've ever seen! You can see each individual fish in the school! Musta been an awesome site. Lately he's been catching over 100 fish a day.

By the way, when we were down Dec. 15th, the spot we ran to is exactly where the bite is happening right now. * *;) *Sure wish they'd mobilize and head south.

Also, my fishing buddy with the Grady just found out he's got 3 hemmoraged [sp?] disks in his lower back and possibly a pinched nerve. * That makes 2 of my best fishing buddies are down on thier back *:'( * I'm really bummed about it.

Also, Still Running has it right - we need to hit Rudee Inlet out of VA. Closer to the action!

Hey BR,

I got fishing rods.

GREAT PIX, BR...some nervous water alright!! ;) 8) ...

So now goin' to VA!! :P ... and I's havin' too tuff a time just gettin' to the inlet :-/ ...

You go knock 'em out, DAWG ;D ;D ;D ...

Sounds like a PROSPERITY problem ;D ...

PRosperity???? Nah, were doing alright, but it's more a responsibilty problem. They are making me more responsible than prosperous... ::)

Hey Blue, Rudee Inlet is my old home port! If you ddecide to go let me know and I can give you some local info.

Franco, coming across CBBT today there were thousands of birds working N of the 4th, and not a boat fishing on them.

Thats one of the things I miss from there, I had a "few" sure fire fishing spots on the bay. There was this big hole right next to the west side of the 3rd island, good for wirelining some keepers! When you talk about all those areas you make me homesick!

Pubah...didja call it the Hilary Hole??...

Check your E-Mail...

Hey guys those pics are from Cato (custom sound charters) Out of Ruddee is the best place so far. I only live 45 minutes from oregon inlet and right now u have to ride all the way back up to the VA/NC line. It's getting better but u still have to run back north abt 40-45 mi one way.

I know that area pretty well and since my boat is down if anyone wants to take their boat and needs someone familiar with the area I'd go.

The reason you did not see anyone fishing the bay is becasue you have to release all stripers caught in the bay. The bays season ended 1/1/07 and you have to fish the ocean if you want to keep any stripers. They are still having good catches just north out of Rudee in front of the Ramada ( the Ramada is the last motel when running north out of Rudee). You also have to be within 3 miles of the shore to still be legal.

Hey BR *you know when at Dudley's Marina that first bridge in Swansboro look what was caught there

9lb 12 oz Flounder
