Windy but Fish

This weather has been a Bear! – SW blow and blow ‘til no water left.

One of the local guys that, wishes to be anonymous, has been on...

Spring has Sprung - Neuse is Alive

Beautiful conditions other than COLD – 38 degree late April!!!!

Quick to next stop and found a pocket of far rock, missing several blow ups and landing several as well with one nice 19-20 cooler fish on Rapala Skitter Walk – Storm Chug Bug did its trick too. They shut off quick so move to...
