I got a little bored thanks to our current weather.
Looking through some pics on my computer and realized I hadn't posted my fishing trip in October and thought today would be a good day for it.
Anyway, up until October I hadn't been to the coast for going on 7 years. I love surf fishing and often miss it badly. It's hard to get away when you raise a fair amount of critters. The wife and kids have got to go for the past several years, but it's hard for all of us to leave at the same time.
Buddy of mine bought a place in Beaufort on the waterway. It's a Beaufort address anyway. He called it Cedar Island. Neat house. It's got it's own little pier and dock. He's got a "big" boat and a "little" boat. Lowers em down in the water with a remote control while we are on the back porch drinking coffee or whatever. Usually whatever for me. Beautiful place.
I tried to talk my buddy into takin me surf fishing. He said that was nonsense, we were there to fish in boats. I wasn't too sure I would enjoy that, never done much fishing from boats. I figure with surf fishing, if they ain't bitin, I still sit there and enjoy the surf and the little critters.
I'm glad he knew what he was doing. This weekend trip, just me and my buddy, was one of the funnest experiences I've ever had.
The first day, we took the big boat out. Took a left in the waterway and went out into the ocean and fished for kings. I think he said we were fishing "Northwest Places"? We caught two each. He had a third one up to the boat, which would have been his limit, but I knocked it off trying to gaff it. We each lost a couple. Caught a couple of sharks too. Had to run off the dolphins every once in a while. Good times. Good eatin.
