since nobody reads post #49

have any of you people fished hyco or mayo reservoirs?

3/5/2010 10:12:25 AM

I'm going to be in Norfolk March 22nd - April 26th. Am I correct in thinking i'll be able to catch some bluefish?

3/7/2010 10:21:59 PM

probably, but i'm not sure why you'd want to

3/8/2010 8:13:11 AM

Anybody else getting ready for the crappie to spawn? My favorite time of year is during the early spring when I can go out and consistently fill my boat with those tasty little bastards

3/8/2010 12:25:07 PM

I too am excited about crappie spawns

3/8/2010 12:32:18 PM

Headed out of new river inlet yesterday. Caught tons of black sea bass, grunts, porgys, several beeliners, a couple ring tails, and 2 gag groupers!

3/8/2010 12:39:20 PM

^ Is the season open on groupers now?

3/8/2010 12:56:16 PM

I like fishing for blue. They're fun. Not a bad eat either.

3/8/2010 1:31:05 PM

^^No. Just happened to catch them. Threw them back obviously. They were undersized anyways.

3/8/2010 4:23:53 PM

i hope the shad have made it to goldsboro in decent numbers by next week. gonna spend a good chunk of spring break trying to catch some.

pretty cool video that was posted on nc waterman:

I bet your user name is NeuseRvrRat on the waterman too.

just caught about 10 shad off the bank here in goldsboro. only got to fish about an hour before it started raining again. only one was a white, the rest were hickories. i caught a hickory on my first cast, which was pretty cool. also had two doubles (hickory on spoon and hickory on dart at the same time). i'll post some pics if deemarie's camera cord will work with my camera. left mine in raleigh.

3/11/2010 4:45:47 PM

NRR and I are fishing again today. Well, actually I gave up so I'm sitting on the bank watching him wear the shad out. He's caught a least two dozen, several large white shad.

If only I could cast better, I might could keep up.

3/12/2010 4:00:37 PM

this hickory did some acrobatics for us:



biggest of the day. white shad full of roe:

i don't think y'all have an appreciation for the ass whoopin i put on those shad today. it was probably one of my top 5 shad days ever.

3/13/2010 1:23:47 AM

^good work sir

3/13/2010 1:26:48 AM

i knew you'd understand what i was getting at

[Edited on March 13, 2010 at 1:30 AM. Reason : i'm going again real early in the morning. i really should go to bed]

3/13/2010 1:29:36 AM

i wanna go but im headin to the beach maybe do a bit of fishin over that way

3/13/2010 1:34:56 AM

Throughout the week I'll be in the Cape Carteret/Emerald Isle/Atlantic Beach spots I like to frequent.

For the record.

3/13/2010 3:20:50 AM

i've caught shad pretty much every day since thursday except for monday when i didn't get to fish

3/17/2010 11:00:52 PM

i caught so many fucking shad over spring break

now i'm having withdrawal

3/21/2010 8:21:20 PM

Trying to go Wed/Thurs out of OI. Thursday is the better weather window but I have to be at work Friday morning. We also are short one outrigger since someone failed to secure it and it went bye-bye.

I think we are going to pick up jigging gear as well. Run only 4 lines for BFT's and when the school comes drop the jigs.

3/23/2010 12:33:22 PM

one of my stringers from last week. i put a few more whites and a couple nice hickories on it before we left that day.

3/23/2010 6:30:04 PM

Going to Holden Beach this weekend. I want to go fishing, but the faggots I am going with want to play golf.

3/23/2010 6:34:15 PM

so go fishing

3/23/2010 6:35:46 PM

That's my thought as well. I don't golf. But these are the husbands of my GF's friends, so they are trying to do the whole "you guys go hang out and we will go shop" type of deal. I just can't see paying $30 to golf when I won't even enjoy it, but at the same time I don't want to be "that guy".

3/23/2010 6:37:32 PM

if it'll make you feel better, you probably won't catch anything down there off the pier (i'm assuming you were gonna go fish off the pier)

however, low chances of me actually catching something has NEVER stopped me from going fishing

[Edited on March 23, 2010 at 6:39 PM. Reason : asdf]

3/23/2010 6:39:14 PM

Exactly! I could sit out on the pier all damn day and not catch a thing, and would still have a MUCH better time than playing golf.

However, one of the guy's golfing owns the house we are staying at, so I kinda feel obligated.

3/23/2010 6:42:08 PM

3/23/2010 6:43:01 PM

So, most likely I will just sit on the cart and drink beer while these fags play golf.

There is a chance for rain Saturday though, so maybe I will be saved.

3/23/2010 6:44:53 PM

hell yeah fish in the rain

3/23/2010 6:47:30 PM

is there any better time to fish?

i think not

3/23/2010 6:51:21 PM

some of my best days have been in the rain

plus, there's usually less folks fishing then and you can have some spots all to yourself

3/23/2010 6:52:25 PM

I concur

And I will go 1 further. The day I caught the biggest bass of my life, I had to break ice at the dock to get the boat in the water.

3/23/2010 7:00:31 PM

yeah, those are the days when you have to dip your rod in the water after every few casts to melt the ice off the guides so the line will quit sticking to them

3/23/2010 7:05:58 PM

went out of new smyrna beach, FL over break, caught a few dogfish, triggers, and black sea bass. Caught a ton, like 15+, B-liners but due to new regulations in FL, they're out of season until April 1st

3/23/2010 7:51:03 PM

Looks like the April Fools Joke's on YOU!

3/23/2010 7:52:19 PM

So it was windy as shit in the Keys, and if it wasn't windy, it was pouring down rain. Needless to say, the dirty dozen was not caught. The only days it didn't blow less than 20 kts were Wednesday (Key West/rain day) and Friday (last day).

I did, however, manage to catch 3 fish on my list, and a whole mess that weren't.

Black Grouper



Gag Grouper



Mangrove Snapper (one of about 86)



Also caught a snook in the rain, so no photo. Hooked up with a nurse shark, but it broke the leader off before I could grab it. Not the most productive Keys fishing trip, to say the least. Going again this summer, so maybe I will do better then.

3/24/2010 5:47:56 PM

i applaud your attempt. good job.

3/24/2010 6:56:36 PM

Went fishing for white bass on Jordan today. Was there about 2 hours and landed 3 fish. Lost one nice fish that I would have kept for supper. Water is warming and fish should be spawning soon. May try to hit up some spots agin on Jordan this weekend and go after some crappie.

3/24/2010 10:24:18 PM

hit Lake Wheeler today. Wasn't out there very long but caught a couple decent crappie and a white perch. Gonna try to get out there or Jordan sometime soon

3/26/2010 9:54:12 PM

i hope that means the crappie bite will turn on at lake raleigh too. i'm gonna bring the canoe up soon. i think i'm gonna keep a few and fry them up.

3/26/2010 9:55:51 PM

the start of the 2010 king season is upon us.. im excited

3/27/2010 12:57:26 AM

^ true that. Also, bonito and spanish mackerel should start showing p a few miles offshore any day now!

3/27/2010 10:05:53 AM

hell, the start of just about everything fishing is upon us

3/27/2010 10:09:52 AM

Look for bonito in 2-3 weeks.

3/27/2010 5:27:28 PM

Landed a Medium BFT ~180lbs on Thursday. Not sure when I will get pics up.
