That was an understatement. 2 of us in the back of the boat fishing 3 downlines each and 2 in the front casting jigs. It was nearly impossible to keep the downlines in the water all at once. We had multiple hook ups throughout the day and there were long periods when the casters were catching a fish on every cast. We fished 'til noon and the only time we slowed down was the few minutes it took to swing around the point and go up the Haw River a ways and the fishing was equally as good; Never have I experienced action that hot for such a long time. We could see all the other boats doing as well. We caught easily 100 fish, most of them legal but we only kept fish over 11" at first then raised our criteria to over 12" realizing we didn't want to spend hours cleaning fish. We came home with 27 and threw back dozens of legal fish.
