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.
myself and jeremy went out that way one january back in 04 i think it may have been. wore out the striper. caught them until our arms fell off. from what ive seen or heard, there havent been there in good numbers since.

Oh yeah....Maybe more so towards the end of the run....but if the blues are there on the point....or else where....drop it down and work it a little slower...you may be pleasantly surprised with what could happen.....played with some blues in Oct...had a hunch....dropped it down and bounced the bottom and had what I suspect was a drum rip about 20yds of line off immediately before coming unbuttoned
Wish you were there!
