Neuse River & Pamlico Sound

[Rockhopper]

Left my dock this morning at 7:00 AM and jigged up some pinfish & other bit sized morsels for to try and find a few old drum and whatever else mother nature might provide me. Made my way down the Neuse and tossed some jigs with shrimp. In no time I had plenty of blues and a big surprise (see the pic). Later I made my way over to Swan Island & hit on birds working a bait ball. I thought Spanish were in the area, but one cast revealed the marauding blues. I decided to take one of those home as well.

No specs, no drum, but plenty of fish and fun. The weather again was beautiful, the water a little bumpy (I managed to avoid a Thunder storm and what looked like a waterspout) - overall a great day on the water.

Home by 2:00...beer in hand by 2:15.
