Show off your fish

21” puppy drum. Cape Hatteras NC.

 

Hatteras blue

 

Wow that’s a 4’ fish

nice work what’d he eat

 

This is a halibut I gaffed over the rail this summer. I know it’s not on a rod, and reel. But still caught on hook, and line.

 

Not quite 4’. But he’ll do

 

Nice! Do you sell them or are they for personal use?

 

Ocracoke Island NC. Another one for the smoker when we get

 

bluefish......

 

Thanks. we catch them commercially, and sell em to whoever is giving the best price. I always got some in the freezer though!

 

More small water smallies. It was a slow night but we still managed a few. My previous trip ended with a hole in the bottom of my kayak and six gallons of water inside. I cut up a 5 gallon bucket and learned to plastic weld in order to fix it. Was happy to find that it was bone dry after last nights float.

 

Modesty is a fine quality but more importantly: what did he eat?

 

Live-lined finger mullet. On a MH 9’ setup. So much fun. I had 3 great days of fishing. Many blues caught with some puppy drum mixed In. The amount of Finger mullet in the wash off ramp 55 was like I never seen before. Any throw of the net got some. Even netted a 15” sea mullet. Unfortunately the weather forecast forced me to make the difficult decision to come home a day early, but better that than get trapped when the road get closed. Oh well, thats Hatteras in September, you pay your money and take your chance.

 

Those are nice!

 

Slipped out for a couple hours yesterday evening hoping the topwater bite would be on but it wasn’t. Still managed a couple fish though.

 

Nice!!

 

Nice!
