I finally got up north today, the fishing wasn't to hot but it sure beat what we have going on here. We put the boat in the water at 7 and had 4 fish in the boat by 10 after, not bad. It slowed after that so we mosied around exploring and looking for drop offs to fish next time around. I guess with the temp being 30 when we launched and still able to catch fish, you could call it a good day of fishing. Tim and myself ended up with a few trout up to 2lbs and 10 or so puppy drum up to 20", not to bad, just not the 8lb. trout we set out for. I'll try them again next week. Talk to ya then.

Went out today with a friend, capt. Ray to kill some time and burn some gas. Got a late start, but oh'well. It was calm on the way out, I guessed we rolled 40 miles or so and found some birds working and some great marks. All of that said, getting the fish to bite was a different story. We got lucky and got into some in the 25lb range which was cool. We trolled for awhile and ended hooking them on the jig. I was using one of my bass rods with braid to catch mine, lot of fun.

Hey everybody out there, it is snowing again here on the Outerbanks. We actually got an inch or two today along with a lot of wind. The Rockfish are still hit or miss, catch them one day and not the next. I am ready for the spring time and warm weather myself. I'm still trying to get up north to catch some trout, maybe this week. I'll update the site again next week, now I'm going out to build a snowman.

I hope everyone had a good New Year and is looking forward to an even better 2009. The fishing here is hit or miss, if you travel 45-60 miles it is usually a hit, anything less is usually a miss. There have been some really nice fish caught in the Nags Head are, that only lasted a day or two. I am trying to get some things tied up here around the house so I can head north to catch some monster Speckled Trout. Hopefully that is how it will turn out, I will defiantly let you guys and girls know.
