Well my family and my girl friend's family just returned from our vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina (where we go every year). It was a blast everybody really enjoyed it. While we were there we decided to do a little fishing with one of our good friends (who is also a bowhunting maniac). He charters some fishing trips but his main job is an electrician. Well we decided we were going to go try to catch some trigger fish these fish averaged any where from a 1 lb to 4 lbs and they put up an awesome fight on light tackle every fish pulled the drag i would bet, after all that fun we decided to go try to catch some drum. We ended up catching 6 puppy drums (redfish, red drum, channel bass), 4 black drum and 2 flounder. All in all that day we caught a total of 118 fish it was an awesome day of fishing!! Here are some pics............enjoy!! Trigger Fish Dad catching a trigger.... notice how bent the rod is... Kevin and I with a double I caught One of the many five gallon buckets we filled Another... Me fighting a fish Dad and Kevin with a trigger Allison and Kevin with another trigger Dad with one of the biggest trigger's we caught Kevin getting ready to net a puppy drum Me with a puppy drum... the biggest fish of the day
My buddy just came back from there a few weeks ago... He caught a citation Cobia 40+ lbs. I want to go fishing there sometime in the near future. My Great Grandpa used to go there too, Theres a pic of him at my grandparents house holding a puppy drum that was every bit as big as he was...lol Looks like Awesome fun.
We usually go down the first week of June to fish for cobia but we didnt get to this year I have caught a few citation cobia also they are a blast to catch!! And I have never caught a any of the big drum but I have caught some smaller ones!
