Camping Suprise!

We rounded the bite heading towards our wonderful little campsite on core banks. When in the distance, we can see what looks to be a very large pink blob extremely near our setup. As the skiff scooted closer we could make out windows and realized that this tent was setup about 30 ft. from our tents. I bet some wouldn't consider a generator powering an air conditioning unit, lights, and TV would be CAMPING!!! But these ladies did... We encouraged them to move that white truck as water lapped over the back tires, close call. Other than the generator running all night, they really weren't the worst camping neighbors. The Marines still have that title...

Tuck Trout!!

Had a wonderful float on the Tuckasegee River,  near Western Carolina University. We caught a mess of trout, small bass, and suckers. The trip green horn managed to pull the 16in. Brook Trout!! Beginner's luck!!

We decided to fish the upper section of the Tuck, b/c down below was high and murky. Our original plan was to fish the lower section for small mouth bass which is suppose to be hot right now.     We fished a variety of lures including in-line spinners, mepps spins, and crawfish crank baits..

July 2-4 Southern Outter Banks

5 nice Spanish to finish off the day, all caught on free-lining cigar minnows. 

About 3:45pm the wind changed and started blowing from the SW at 10kt. pushed the bigger fish right in, so we set up at the Cape lookout rock jetty and pulled in some nice fish.  I missed/lost 8 fish one being a monster( right at the boat), such a tough balance between wire and floro leader. Seems like they would not bite any size wire and would bite off even 40lb. Floro.  The one's we landed has perfect hook jobs right in the side of the mouth using 40-60lb floro leader.

The definition of fresh fish dinner.
