November Pier Fishing
Date-11/8/2015
Location- SE NC Coast
Bait/Lure Gotcha Plugs for Blues
Cut bait (blues) for bottom fishing
430PM-11pm
Headed down south to try some Pier fishing for Drum. I arrived at the pier an immediately saw people cleaning Blues at the cleaning station and when I got to the end they were still catching them.
I tied on a gotcha plug and the action was pretty fast. Caught too many Blues to count. They were a blast! Most were small but these were fun. I am at the point in my life that while I still luv to catch big fish I am happy with just catching fish and especially fish that I havn't caught in a while.
After dark I put on a Drum rig and fished cut bait on the bottom. I had several runs but only one hookup which had to be a big ray. After about 10 minutes I broke the line to end the battle,
A good few hours on a pier. After leaving the Pier I stopped here for a cold one. Really a nice bar with character. There are 1$ bills all over the walls and ceiling where patrons have left them with their name and date they were there.

Speckled Trout At Radio Island, NC
Dater-10/30/2015
Time- Mid afternoon Till dark
Location - Crystal Coast of N.C.
Fishermen- Todd, Colby, Mack N., Myself
Lures- 1/4 -3/8 oz Jig heads with 4 inch grubs
and squid for bottom fishing
We hit up a Tidal creek in the afternoon wading and throwing Jigs. The bite was good on an outgoing tide to slack tide. Best technique was to wade out to chest deep water and cast up current and let it sink to the Bottom and just very slowly hop it. We caught numerous specs on different colored Jigs . Most were small with only a few being keeper size but they were fun. Pretty sure these are/were my first Speckled Trout.
I also Bottom fished throughout the afternoon to take a break from wading. We caught a lot of what I think are Hogfish on a 2 hook bottom rig using squid for bait.
Here are a few pics...

A big thanks to Todd and Colby who were there all week and invited us down for the day.

Fox Squirrel Hunt with "Pete"
Me and my son hit the Fox Squirrel woods with "Pete" Saturday October 24th. We only hunted a short time today this being an evening hunt. Pete had a blast and we did also.
2 Fox squirrels treed and 1 harvested. Took almost an hour to finally spot the one if the top of the tall pine and the other, well, we got tired of looking for it and left it for another day. You would be amazed at how well a 3 lb black Squirrel can hide on a limb or it the very top of a 100ft tall pine
An hour to find a Black Squirrel in the top of a Pine and not in a hole?? Yes. I have seen that several times. We got lucky and finally spotted it and then made a good harvest.
