Mated for my buddy Neal on his boat Dawn Patrol. He took out his Dad, another friend and his 2 boys. Headed south off of Dam Neck and had steady action(fish every 10-15 mins) from 9-11. Fish ranged from a couple of shorties to 36". caught our limit, but kept 5 for the table. Hot baits were, Stretch 30. Blue shad umbrella, and inline storm. Had a chartruse umbrella out that didn't even get touched. The boys had a great time fighting and catching the fish...their first time catching stripers!!
Tons of birds again...close to shore. We were in 23'-30' of water and had good bait marks. Mostly between Dam Neck and the start of Sandbridge.

...I have duty cell phone so can't go out....drove back from the inwater boat show at Taylors....cruising along Atlantic from about 45th st to 20th street...water looked like snow there were so many birds out there. I know the bight is kicking right now....man....painful !!!

Great job Don...glad you got some pullage on SUPERBOWL Sunday !!!!!!....Bob

Greta job Don. I thought it would be too rough for the Stingray so I went to Hot ditch and the Cove to try my hand at Specks. Needless to say it was dead (or I have some learning to do). Anyways, the boy and I took a long boat ride to stretch the boats legs and get some fresh air.

Great work. Thanks for the report.

Congrats DON!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see ya got out, Hope the sinus thing is getting better.
Nice talking to ya the other day,

We started early Sunday and stopped a little further south than Dam Neck-- 2.9 miles off of False Cape just north of the tthe state line. We were with the Maryland charter boats. There where big fish there, but there was a heavy 4/5 chop and 25 knts of wind off the beach. It was so rough we couldn't get the baits right. We eventually wound up off of the Ramada-- on the outside -- 2.3 miles and out of the boats and got seven nice ones but nothing big. 30 lbs was the best. I think the most consistent bite is now developing late in the afternoon around 4:00pm. We had a couple really good ones late in the day, on a Green Tomic and lost them both. I went as far as Corolla at sunrise and south of False Cape was deader than Elvis.

Made the drive up to rudee from carolina on sunday,Headed south out the inlet had good marks about half mile down the beach in 25ft of water put rigs out limited out in about 30 min biggest 38 pounds.
