Dec 5 2013 report
I have been kinda busy of late on the water. Mostly chasing rock in New Bern.
I had Paul Armstrong and his wife Mickie out for his retirement trip Tuesday am, He is honorably retiring as Gunny Armstrong from our US Marine Corp. I even had a work experience from my past employment we strangely remembered – small world! We worked the jig bite hard with getting both to feel the tap! Managed to stick one for Gunny. Gonna work with him as best I can to get him retired and enjoying our local fishing.
Micheal and Kenny stopped on the way home from work and managed a real nice limit of trout in short time – good Rapala Twitchin Rap catches. Glad them could both come home still employed at PCS – really tough on some long time good workers.
I had Jim Root out on a solo trip to give him some hands on skills rock fishing. Great guy with a head full of world tour on a sailboat stories even though they interrupted a bite or two! Fog held us at port an hour before we GPSed our way to a closed stop to jig up some rock. We started getting taps almost instantly with Jim hooking in to a small but strong rock to started. After a couple more he did stick a 21 inch slot fish
that was FAT. When he was cleaned he was full of 3 small juvenile rock!
Eating her own – wow.
Plenty of action around – just have to move around to find it.
Still have open dates before Christmas and Gifts certificates for later dates.
Be safe in the cold.
