Went yesterday at Pembroke creek down here around Edenton and should have stayed home. Didn't get a bite. Couldn't get minnows because the three local places that sell em were closed. Imagine that, three bait stores closed on a Sunday! I went anyway and tried jigs but had no luck. The fishing has been dead down here since the temp warmed up so much. This ain't winter weather and the fish know it too. Not much happening with minnows either from people I've talked to.

Went down to the OBX last wed. and tried to catch them big rock. Couldn't get them to bite either. It's been so long since I've caught a fish that I've forgotten what it's like. We usually count on the rock in the ocean. I have been a couple dozen times in the past 4 years and had only been skunked 1 time until now. The worst part about the trip was we came up on some commercial fisherman out there who were pulling in some nice ones in the net but they would'nt bite hook and line. Then to polish off a perfect day, we hung two stretch 30's and one stretch 25 in a net and had to cut em. We got our @#$es whipped and lost over 20 dollars in lures. Needless to say we got our bellies full of the ocean for a while. Now I can concentrate more time on speckles. I hope they start bitting soon. CF
