Blues can be caught at Oregon Inlet. For spotted redfish, the holy grail is fishing at Hatteras point. We go down every year. Also check out Jenettes Pier, and the piers at Rodanthe and Avon.
It was so clear at P'ville, my wife thought we were in danger of grounding when we were in 25' of water. Found some marks out at 70, but no takers. Called it early and got back just in time to get hailed on at the dock.
Old thread, but I just saw it.... It's a shame. I grew up in Lakeland and my father often took me out on Onadaga. I remember the distinct petrochemical smell that was sooo strong in the air. (This was back in 1968) And we would always have to wash the boat when we got home...
Just wondering if anyone else is having any success using either the Brads Superbaits or the Yakima Spin-N-Fish? I know they are a mostly west-coast area type of lure, but they do have a good meat rig style of spin and they can be filled with scent. I have never noticed anyone mentioning them in the reports, but maybe someone has had luck?
