No pictures, because there isn’t much to report.  The wind can’t decide which way to blow and the warm water was blowing nearshore then a couple miles out and then back and so forth.  I don’t know if the fish didn’t like their water in constant flux, but they sure didn’t appear to be within casting distance of the shore.

Sunday yielded not a single bite on the Gotcha, and even more surprisingly…nothing on a double bottom shrimp rig.

Monday – I hit the beach in Duck with my uncle a little after 6 a.m.  I’m only 3 casts deep and a 16″ blue flat annhilates my Gotcha.  Good tussle and he hits the beach and straight to the cooler.  10 minutes later, Uncle Pat nabs a 13.5″ speckled trout on a leadhead jig tipped with a plastic grub.  Looking like quality is the name of the game today.  Then everything dried up.  Another hour and a half of casting with 0 hits to show for.  Sporadic fishing with the Gotcha and double bottom rig throughout and nothing to show for.

Tuesday – the cold water was back in full force and the fish were not in the mood to eat or they weren’t even in the same ocean.  No bites…tough.

Stay tuned for a fishing report from the Crystal Coast of North Carolina at Emerald Isle.  We’ll be driving south on Wednesday morning to spend the second half of the week with my wife’s parents.  Hopefully warmer water will bring more hotter fishing action.  Can’t go any direction but up!
