Hatteras Memorial Day Weekend Fishing Report 5/22 - 5/24

[Blue_Runner]

Still - I got really busy trying to get everything ready for the trip and hardly even logged on to the site. I thought about you a couple of time but just did a really poor job of letting you know about the trip. A couple of others have expressed interest in a trip to the OBX...maybe next year we can get a few more V20's out there. I promise to do a better job of notifying next time!!!

Not your fault at all. I was out of town for a week and then had to get things done at work the following week and never touched the V to get it ready to try and make the trip down. I did have a great week staying right on the beach around th 14 mile post. I will keep it in mind for next year and if your heading back to Va Beach latter in the year let me know as we will be doing the striper thing as often as we can.

Hey Blue let me know ahead of time I'm interested in going. I like dolphin fishing and I could get a crew to go or maybe we could get some of the V forum members to go and make up a crew om my boat.

Yeah baby that's what I'm talking about! The more the merrier IMO!!

Will do Garage. I thought about you and Stillrunning beforehand but never got around to the invitation part - my bad. I promise to do better next time.

I'll have to check in the shed, but I don;t think any of my gaffs have a 5" hook. That sounds a little big for fishi under 100#'s.

As for the 70# drum, it really depends on where you catch him. In protected waters they fight kinda like a pig. They root around on the bottom, are powerful, but once you get him started up don;t have that much stamina in my opinion. Now if you catch that fish at the mouth of the bay in a hard running tide from an anchored boat...you gots your hands full fo sho'.
