[pikfish]

If you need another testimony I can give one; the winter stripper fishing is great out of Oregon Inlet! Once the schools of strippers are found, which is normally not far from the mouth of the inlet the action is great. The charter boats run ½ day stripper charters that target the stripper schools and almost always max out the 2 fish per fisherman per day allowance. We have always thrown back 6 or 8 each per fisherman, most fish are in the 34”-42” range. The down side is the sea conditions in the inlet area! The days I have been there the 5’-6’chop in the bottleneck area of the inlet would be unsafe in a V-20. I have always been on a 52’ boat and it was still often quite rough. If the winds were light it could be fine in a smaller boat (less than 30’) but I would keep a careful eye on the weather before a long trip. jm-.02c
