Hey Pete, you talking about Cape Fear/Southport area? Can get there in about 4 hrs, best to fish from boat. Cape Hatteras, 7.5 hrs, fish from the surf, no boat to mess with, just get up and drive 4 miles and start heaving metal! Big spaniards too, 4-5lbs. I weighed one last year at 4lbs13oz. Looked like a snake king. If you an't tried it, It will ruin a person. Talk about stripers(rockfish), fished a 5 acre school from Avon to ramp 38 back in 04. 20 to 30 lbers chasing bunker on the beach. Still dream about that morning.
