Had to work for them, but they are there...

If you see the sunrise from the water, you got a lot better chance of catchin some fish.

nice job slot. i here they are tearing up the stripers here about 3 miles off the inlet in OC. im jealous

Everybody I've talked to said this is one of the best striper seasons in a long long time.

It has been a good season, as good as any in the last five years. I think a little cold weather will actually help get these fish schooled up a little tighter and make finding them easier.

Turbo - you obviously haven't talked to me!! What sucks is the weather. Those fish that ya'll are slaying should be down here by now. >:( So I guess your good year equals a bad year for us. Its ok I suppose, since we've had like 6 or 7 good years in a row until not :-/ :P :-*

BR, you should drag your V down to the beach and catch one of those 500 pound bluefin tuna's they are catching off of Cape Fear. *Was reading the OIFC fishing report today, they said they hooked about an 80 inch bluefin 6 miles off of Ocean Isle Beach on the 15th.

GBFT...I'd be all over that if I could get there and back in a days time. Heck, if I could catch a 500lb anything within 20 miles of the beach I'd be all over it. You all could keep the striped mullets. 50# rock becomes fish food, I mean bait when we are talking big Bluefins.

I just don't know if my TLD 20 would bring him in ;D

Would probably look like that Etech vs. Yamaha video, with the Bluefin being the etech of course.

Friend of mine used to rub elbows with a millionaire friend of his. They fished all over the world together, (on the millionaire's nickel) and my friend said they caught like a dozen giants in one day. The biggest he landed was 600 lbs. He said they looked like volkswagons darting through the water.

Sounds like fun, but definitely dangerous and especially dangerous on a small boat! Certainly profitable though if you hook up. Thousands for a fish sounds pretty good!

I'll stick to the 100 lbs or less category for now. ;)

Oh yeah and fishing from 4 am til dark for a week without a touch would be depressing too. Those boys do an AWEFUL lot of boat riding to get those fish.
