Got to OC at 6:45 straight from my sleep syudy ( lots of fun ). Got over the rudee bridge and the boats were backed up to the bottom. Saw lots of NC, MD, And DEL boats. Met up with Bob, Surfer Dave, and his Bro in law ray. After watching a guy drag his lower unit 20 feet and a jet ski rigged out with rocket launchers, We got underway in Still Thinkn'. Headed south towards the line. First Fish is a Fatty 44incher on a white daisy chain/ mojo combo. Rays on it..Fish in the boat. Second fish is a 33incher on a Chart parachute rig. Third fish..35inch on green umbrella. Fourth fish Another Fat hogger for Ray on a mojo/eel rig, and last but not least ! Fifth fish hits again on the Mojo/ eel rig 38incher. Had a blast with the Crew today ! Bob is the man, Ray is awesome, Dave had me laughing all day, awespme time !!! Bob has some pics to post later.

Thanks for the intel! I guess you guys did real well considering the lack of reports. Trailers stacked to the inlet bridge, thats nuts! Fatbeard in the pit always produces. Good luck in the tourney.

I have sleep apnea ( stop breathing when i snore ) They monitor you while you sleep, and hook you up to this thing called a cpap mahine. It blows direct air through your nose so you don't snore. Apnea it turns out is a serious thing. Leads to heart attacks, strokes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc etc. Reggie White had sleep Apnea. Here endeth the lesson

Dude just tonight Sandy said her Bro in Law has the same thing and is getting his tonsels removed along with a few other throat things removed. How do you know if you have problems? How did you think you needed checked while sleeping?

Dude , That surgery is bad news ! It is extremely painful, and does not fix the situation long term.
The signs are fatigue after a full nights sleep, need for naps during the day. Does Sandy say you snore bad? Go to WEBMD.com and read up on it. It is serious stuff.
And i sang all day. I hope my sweet Julie is proud of me.

Bob, Jeff and crew, great job yesterday. You guys did pretty well with it being slow fishing. At least it was for mike W. and I. I think mike and I were getting paid back for an awesome day last year when we were rubbing it in don's and dave's face as they were not catching much right next to us. What comes around goes around. But it was a lot of fun talking to everybody out there and thanks for the intel (bob, todd (knotwishin), mike w., blake and mike kleppe (splitshot)).
On a serious note, Jeff, being an orthodontist, I have studied and see many cases of sleep apnea. It is no joke, especially with first hand exprerience (my father has it BAD). He did the studies, but has not done much about it. The surgeries can work, but somewhat unpredictible. One conservative thing to try is a special nightguard that keeps your airway open when sleeping.
One last thing, let's pray for Don's dad who is in the hospital with pneumonia. Last Don said, he is doing better, but I know he isn't out of the woods yet. Glad to see you on the board Don, please keep us posted. Hopefully he will recover very soon and then you can get back on the water.

I echo your post Neal. Good times and the fishing has definately been more challenging in recent years. Sum days u get um - sum u don't. Don, hang in there and keep us posted. We'll be praying for all involved.

I was out a couple of weeks ago and I could of sworn I saw 3 jet skiis going unusually fast from the CBBT and around Cape Henry. Wonder if it was the rocket guys. That would make sense.
I'm going out tomorrow out of Lesner. Hoping the fishing is good around Cape Henry.
