Fishing out of Atlantic Beach, NC - 7/8/09

Ches, very nice report you put together there and thanks for sharing with the rest of us. It just goes to show the variety that is available in those waters right off our coast. I like the float attached to the boga grip....obviously not that captains first rodeo.

What were you pulling while trolling, if you don't mind me asking. Those jigging pics are awesome.

Thanks, gents.

Willy,
Rates here.

I paid the full day, inshore-nearshore rate. 10-20% tip is customary/discretionary, but I'm tipping him with a batch of t-shirts. :D

Blue,
We ran a 5-rod spread:
chugger skirts on medium ballyhoo on the riggers
nekkid 'hoo off a transom clip in the propwash
green skirt and 'hoo opposite that, somewhat short
skirted 'hoo on the WWB down the middle
Hottest bait by a good margin was the pink chugger skirt off the rigger.

Wow, those are some awesome rates! Maybe I should sell my boat and just book this guy a dozen times a year!?!?!?
