went to Lake Lynn last night, didnt get a single bite

5/29/2009 9:03:41 AM

i work kinda near lake lynn. had thought about making a few casts after work one day. is it at least fishable? catching a lot doesn't matter much to me.

5/29/2009 9:10:24 AM

there's a lot of spots if that's what you're asking

5/29/2009 9:13:42 AM

Offshore forecast looks great Sun-Tuesday, heading out of Morehead at least Sunday and maybe more

5/29/2009 9:13:51 AM

yeah, pretty much

5/29/2009 9:14:28 AM

it's worth it to maybe take a map of the lake's running trail out there once and try to put some notes on what spots you see when walking around, the trail is about 3 miles or so

there's a parking lot on the north and the south ends of the lake, but there are apartment complexes w/ parking lots really close to the water at some spots in between

5/29/2009 9:17:13 AM

cool

5/29/2009 9:17:47 AM

Calico Creek on the falling tide, here I come

5/29/2009 5:13:21 PM

anyone on here ever done any jigging? offshore butterfly type jigs? going out of bouge inlet on a 19ft center console. looking for some good spots within range. if you know some spots get up with me, maybe you can tell me some spots or better yet join me on a trip and show me some.

5/29/2009 10:49:58 PM

i mis-spoke i'll be going out of beaufort inlet

6/1/2009 10:34:43 AM

there's a whole jigging forum on ncwaterman.com. check it out. good luck getting any coordinates, though.

6/1/2009 10:35:47 AM

me and ragged went on the canoe today and didn't catch shit. fun time though.

6/6/2009 1:40:14 PM

Went out of OI today, couldn't buy a bite. On the way in about 5 miles from the beach we went buy a floating board and I pulled a 20lb mahi off of it.

6/7/2009 9:56:56 PM

waiting on radio island to finish some minor repairs, then it's off to whoop some mahi. my freezer needs filling

side note:

Heading out Sunday from MBI....hoping to actually get offshore for the first time this year. Weather finally looks good....I'm pumped.

6/12/2009 6:47:49 PM

caugt a few rainbow trout last weekend, going camping this weekend hoping to catch some brookies

p.s. I live in oregon

6/12/2009 8:14:22 PM

slacker, where you headed? we're going out of masonboro tomorrow

6/13/2009 7:25:20 PM

my pops has been catching some trout. they've moved out of the creeks into the rivers and river mouths to spawn. he kept four of the ones he caught yesterday and all 4 were females full of roe.

time for roe n eggs, y'all

6/14/2009 6:07:05 PM

^^Sorry, I left before I saw your reply. We went to the schoolhouse yesterday and all we saw were lots of boats. Pushed offshore about 10 more miles to a few ledges and stuff and started picking at mahi and kings.

We tried to bottom fish a little, but I'm still not very good at that...caught an american red and a few other bottom fish, but no grouper. I need to learn how to do that shit.

Ended up with 3 nice gaffer dolphin, all 12-20 pounds, and a limit of kings(6). Excellent weather finally and the boat ran well. My best day overall so far on my own.

6/15/2009 9:12:21 AM

Fumbler and i went fly fishing for the first time ever on our honeymoon in montana. it was a guided trip, wedding gift from my aunt & uncle. it was really awesome. we caught 2 rainbow trouts & 1 perch each. i liked it a lot more than i thought i would. i love how simple the equipment is and how it really is more reliant on your skill in the motion than how expensive and intricate your reel is...not that the reels aren't expensive, they just arent as important, if that makes sense. we bought rod & reel kits at walmart (only place to get fly stuff around here) when we got back.

6/15/2009 9:31:08 AM

6/15/2009 10:21:24 AM

mahi bite is still on off the crystal coast, folks

6/15/2009 10:22:19 AM

^Im thinking about heading out of Morehead Thursday depending on weather, got any reports from the weekend?

6/15/2009 11:17:58 AM

45 minute rock, charlie rock, big 10, and 14 buoy are all hot

there's an orvis at triangle town center

6/15/2009 3:30:25 PM

around here = rocky mount

plus, orvis is $texas. we're looking for basic stuff

6/15/2009 3:31:49 PM

i've never even been in an orvis

6/15/2009 3:39:28 PM

slacker, we hit schoolhouse and there was about 10 boats out there, lots of weeds, and not much catching...saw maybe 3 mahi caught...disappointing

6/15/2009 8:51:06 PM

heading down to belhaven next week..never fished in salt before what to expect?

im to lazy to search. but yea i had a blast talking shit and makin jigs(well i only made one)

6/15/2009 9:24:35 PM

i managed to fish the last 5 weekends in a row. 4 inshore and 1 at the reef. damn i love living at the coast. oh and i got second place in a redfish tourney 3 weeks ago, 21 3/4" and 4.63oz. bagged the biggest flounder of my life that day too. he was some good eats.

6/15/2009 9:49:04 PM

^^^i wouldn't fish right at belhaven. get on out in the river. they're spawning out there.

fish different gulp salwater baits about 2 ft under a popping corn. fish up near the bank in 3-6 ft of water. you will catch speckled trout.

6/15/2009 10:09:55 PM

yea we've got a boat down there....thanks for the info

6/15/2009 10:18:19 PM

drum and flounder are other likely catches

[Edited on June 15, 2009 at 10:20 PM. Reason : maybe some blues that will tear your gulps up and drive you nuts]

i have had blue eat the shit out of muds and menhaden but never a damn artificial. i am hoping for this to happen one day.

6/15/2009 10:28:21 PM

they will bite the tail off a curly tail grub until you wanna fucking punch something

[Edited on June 15, 2009 at 10:29 PM. Reason : you've never jigged a stingsilver and caught blues? ]

6/15/2009 10:29:03 PM

going after specks tomorrow morning before it gets so damn hot

6/19/2009 10:44:35 AM

^^^ I've had loads of luck with bluefish using live menhaden. works 60% of the time, every time

behind shackleford is a good place to troll for 20" bluefish right now

i'm staying off of 64 in knightdale for the next week and noticed people parked near the bridge over the Neuse and i'm planning on headed down there to kill some time. I haven't had much river fishing experience. What is my best bet for bank fishing? I was assuming just fishing with a bottom rig but the couple times i did fish in a river we also fished soft plastic power grubs on jigheads. Any one have any suggestions cough cough neuseriverrat cough


i mean my destination is in your name...

6/21/2009 9:31:18 PM

neuse river in knightdale off the bank?

get some jumbo minnows and fish them on the bottom and hope you catch a catfish. cut bait would be good too. get some crickets and fish them under a cork. maybe you'll catch a bream and then you can use that for cut bait.

i wouldn't mess w/ artificials in that situation

[Edited on June 21, 2009 at 11:12 PM. Reason : fish the crickets up real close to the bank]

6/21/2009 11:08:45 PM

btw, i caught a couple trout, a short flounder, a catfish and a 21" puppy drum saturday. turned every loose except the drum, which i gave to my granny to freeze and sometime bake in this awesome faux fish stew she makes. so damn good. i can't wait.

we were fishing at 5:30 am and left at 10:30 am before it got so damn hot. fun time.

6/21/2009 11:12:02 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

thats funny I had that same problem too

6/21/2009 11:14:50 PM

Looks like next week I will be fishing for a couple of days in the Bahamas

6/22/2009 8:44:54 PM

i see how it is

6/22/2009 8:46:04 PM

i don't know when i can go fishing...

but we can play hide the worm if you want

6/22/2009 8:48:51 PM

^^Its like a lake, only bigger

6/22/2009 8:53:52 PM

heading down to Charleston on Saturday for a week of fishing.

reports are trolling around Morris Island is picking up lots of sea trout, so we're going to give that a shot on Saturday.

Blues are also hitting hard around the area, as well as kings. Hope to catch limit


also: jetskipro- are the blues still hitting off shackelford? heading there next friday to fish

[Edited on June 23, 2009 at 11:18 AM. Reason : .]

6/23/2009 11:16:47 AM

i will never understand targeting blues except if you're using them for bait

6/23/2009 11:21:00 AM

Fished the Jolly Mon this past weekend, found the fish on friday 20 miles out, caught 8 kings in a matter of two hours and headed in to get some rest for tomorrow. Sat (when it counted) headed to the spot to find the water dirty green instead of that clear blue...

Found em again around 330, but never hooked up with a big one... just two late in the day
