Hatteras Help?

[Airslot]

Sorry to keep ya watin Blue. Been reel busy at work since I got back, and didn;t spend much time online while in Hatris.

Let me tell you, that inlet can be downright hateful. I don't have many pics yet, but here is one of the new ride...see thumbnail.

Bill had the inlet closed out the first three days we were there. Even when we finally got out, the inlet was NASTY, but we pushed through. Found the conditions I was look for about 17 miles out. We had a big day with 1 sailfish, 1 gaffer dolphin, 1 yellowfin, a few bonito and plenty of penuts around. Ended up burning through 3 packs of hoos in a little over half a day.

Our secind day outside was planned to troll for spanish and then setup for sharks. We were succesful on both fronts, catching a nice mess of spanish and then releasing a small sandbar...and a 200# Blacktip that only showed up after we were done fishing. I had tossed a bonito carcass overboard when he showed up. We were able to keep him around and interested and finally got a hook into him.

Sound fishing was very very slow for us. We were there for 7 days and had a hoot. Hoping to do it again next year. I'll get some other pics up when I get them off the cameras

Later

GOOD deal! Nice variety Any size to the yft?

Glad you had a good trip. I bet the inlet was NASTY after Billy boy. Thats when you have to skooch up behind one of the big sporty's and let him knock the tops off for ya, if that is even possible.

I figured you'd be disappointed on the sound fishing compared to the big flattie slayings you do up north.

[Airslot]

Nah, maybe 25#'s on the yft. Also had a micro yft, maybe 12" long.

Cool, How'd you like the island?

[Airslot]

Let's just say I can't wait to get back. Incredible place to hang out. Fishing was just a bonus...

Air....did you sell your V?

[Airslot]

Still have the V. It's sorta for sale, but not really advertised. I'm getting ready to clean it up and get serious about selling her...
