Blues and Stripers are still big. They are quite popular. Drum or Red Drum are also a hot ticket. I just can't seem to get one. The Specs are my favorite and the ones I have had the best luck with. Indeed they are fun and delicious. The Chesapeake Bay is great ! I live nearby in Virginia when I am up there and not on the Outer Banks. You Be careful too
It was nice talking with you Spirit. I will make sure to send my first pictures your way. Lots of great scenery and hopefully a bundle of Speckled Sea Trout to show you.
Thanks Ghaynes1, I love to laugh and getting laughs whenever I can. I am as big a knucklehead there is and loving the discovery of this site.
Hee-hee, that was good and actually I know you are right. Sorry, the fishing has been off and I hope those fires get put out soon. It looks incredibly bad on tv, I sure hate seeing the destruction. Thank you for the tips and good luck this fall. One of my ex co-workers has been hounding me hard about the phone, I will pick one up soon.
That is awesome and encourages me.
Maybe soon, I will need to get some help with that like my grandkids. Currently I do not even have a mobile phone. The one I did carry was a company phone that retired with me. Honestly, I have not missed it at all. I am using an old tablet (Kindle) of my wife's relics. It has no camera, sorry Spirit. How's the fishing going in CA ?
The Govna name is from me calling everyone that with my best Australian accent that I could pull off. I always liked hearing them say it in the movies. I was born and raised in Southeastern Virginia.
Thank you YankeeBlue, I am so sorry to hear of your illness. My heart goes out to you and I am hoping you are doing much better. Kill Devil Hills is beautiful and I fished a little on the beach this morning. The sky was amazing as the Sun rose up and hid between those clouds. Several people stopped and spoke with me. I caught a few Sea Mullets and a Spot on an outgoing tide,which is typically not the best time. Good luck with the fishing and your health.
I appreciate that Fredfish
When I got my first spincast combo around the age of 13, I started doing the very same thing. This was almost 54 years ago. It just seemed like it should be that way even with a little awkwardness at first. When other righties would use my pole, I watched them rotate the rod to turn the reel upside down (placing the reel on top of the rod) for retrieving. I thought it was quite funny to see.
I am a retired man now for nearly two years. Fortunately, I am blessed to have most of my time spent on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. So, I saltwater fish in the ocean and the shallow waters of the sound. Although I have been fishing for many years, I am not very productive at it. Truthfully though, it is okay. Just being out there is enjoyable with the observation of nature's wonders. Of course, I would love to be a better fisherman and maybe I will learn some useful tips here.
