7/31/06 Well... I started out the morning with Dr. Bogus helping out with his Monday morning fishing segment on 107.3 out of MHC covering live bait fishing... Then it was back to Swansboro to meet up with Gary Hurley of the FISHERMAN'S POST Magazine to catch a few fish for an upcoming article. Well, the three of us left out about 9:15, went and filled the livewell with some fingermullet for livebaiting big spanish, and then headed out the inlet. It was kind of late for a big spanish bite and we couldn't get them turned on so we switched things up about 10:30 and looked for flounder. First stop, first drop, Dr. Bogus put on on the bucktail... and by 1:00pm we had landed 15 flounder (kept 10 up to 3lbs), and a mess of seabass (kept 3 about 1lb) and then headed for the internal waters to take advantage of the little high tide we've been getting to hunt for some redfish in the skinny water with topwater baits. We worked for about an hour in three different areas and managed 4 explosions from redfish... 2 of which stuck... and we landed a 21in and 28in. red on topwater baits... Great morning on the radio... and great afternoon on the water fishing... I had a good time guys. Gary, I look forward to seeing your article in next weeks issue of the FISHERMAN'S POST... Super Job with the magazine... best ever! Capt.Jeff Cronk- FISH'N4LIFE CHARTERS- 910-326-7512 OR 336-558-5697 OR email jcronk@ec.rr.com
