I'm with you! still looks like OI, but water is slowing moving up. Need a nice eddy to move in on the Cigar. I don't know, alot can happen in a week.

Bob,
We'll be watching the wx closely... planning OI or HI, would love to see the new graphics if you're down there.

The Regulator will be fishing HI Saturday out of Teach s. Need to practice my trolling skills for the upcoming PC Tuna tournament. Rumor has it TEAM STILL THINKIN ! Has multiple secret weapons and fish tied up! CONCH

yea...we hooked all the really big YFT up with Blackberry's and then sent them meeting requests with times and locations to have a free lunch...hopefully they have their schedule free to meet with my and my coffin...lol.....bob

The stage is set...Regulator vs Southport. Now all we have to do is catch a bunch of fish and a picture of Tony. Fresh fish and steak dinner on Jeff.

I think Contendor will make a showing also...they were down there last year !.....getting excited....almost time....Bob

MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Game on !!!! Time to Tan some fat ! eat your heart out Julie

That thing is huge...and a big fish also!

Sounds like the Captn is back in action... Catch em boys... Water's looking good, weather looking good, and I am side lined from knee surgery.

You are more like the bionic man now though Phil.. better, stronger , faster.

That is a monster. And whats it doing to that poor fish?

Still looking like OI is the place, but I am not going to be able to make the trip this weekend. Catch'em UP Bob!

Erick

We're whipping our stuff into shape this weekend and will be ready soon, but, alas, not this weekend.

Best of luck, Bob and crew. And, as always, post often and post early. Inquiring minds want to know...

Tear em up for us !!

wow.sorry to hear that....good luck with your technical difficulties...heading out now...some kind of report tonight...Bob

Knives are ready to clean the fish...call me!!!

Put the knives away....Broken Throttle cable on my starboard engine...luckily it happened before we left the ramp so we didn't get caught in the Inlet..it was honking pretty good down there...lots of storms also...but dam, really wanted to go this morning.....

Boats at the shop getting ready for the next adventure.....Sorry Cheryl and Wade...hope you had fun down in Nags Head...Bob

Bob,
no problem! The hotel is letting us check out w/ refund, s we are gonna go see some family for a while & head back home. Next time!! After checking the buoy reports, I don't think land is a bad place to be today.

That stinks about the cable. Somebody was probably watching over ya'll if the weather was looking bad.

Get 'em next time. Erick

Yea that sucks about the cable...But like you said Good thing that happened at the dock!! And its Small Craft ALL DAY and until Wed... We would of earned some stripes today... We had some trailer issues to start, and then that escalated into a whole bunch of other CHIT... Like no Plug, etc.. As of now We think were ready for next time..... We are about to take a look at our throttle cables!!! But we are rigged and ready for the WX and work to break so we can get out there..
till the next go at it- No Show standing by

Can feel for ya. Put the boat in the water last fall with no steering. We'll watch for reports next trip out.

We left OI at first light Saturday, following the charters out. Went approx due east in our friends 23 Albemarle. Pretty rough day, 6-8' as I estimate. Much success- 14 gaffers (all but 2 cows) and 5 blackfin. Lines in at 7:30 and back in at 1:30. Long ride home with the coolers full!! We really enjoy this forum and have learned alot from all of you. Had a great time!
