Yup ur a neighbor. Take a left out of Mariners Landing, go past the State Park, about another half mile on ur right into The Waterways.
We live in Richmond so we watch the weather and go up when it’s nice. We’re going to stay home this weekend for the Masters and go up next week when it’s going to be nice.
We have a house near the state park on the Bedford County side so I fish for LM in the summer months around docks a bank structures. This time of year stripper fishing heats up but they can be tough to find. I fish a 17 ‘ Angler center console. We went up 2 weeks ago and stripers were surface feeding in our cove. Awesome.
Tuna fever, we think, is the best boat out of Oregon Inlet. Captain Billy Maxwell and his mate Chuck always put us on the fish. We always book at least one trip a year usually in middle May. Got blown out this year but looking forward to spring. We’ve fished with him fo 20 years. Congrats on the catch.
Striped fishing has been great lately. LM have been hard to find. Best bet is to get a guide and catch some big strippers. Hides know where they are and how to catch them. Weather looks great.
I’m a fish fresh water guy most of the time and I’m cheap so I love the Okuma reels. Pair it with a St Croix rod, braid to a fluorocarbon leader. Works great for me.
Thanks for your leadership qualities. Makes it a lot easier to keep ur chin up. Just being safe to keep others safe. Thanks Ivey.
Ya’ll don’t forget old Jimmy Houston too. He’s another one of the old pioneers.
Graduated from the in ‘75 but never had the opportunity to wet a line.
Okuma. I think Dicks has the 2500 on sale for $39.00.
After many attempts at sealing up the rivet hole with epoxy I decided to grind all of that off and dipped a rivet in a good sealer, riveted the hole and worked like a champ. 5 years and no leaks. 14’ alumacraft.
