NCCHARTERFISHING-Capt.'s Jeff Cronk and MIke Taylor-Crystal Coast, Swansboro, Emerald Isle

I left the dock this morning with Mark and Tripp onboard around 7am. The air temps were about 48 degrees but the winds started out around 15mph and quickly got up to 25-30mph quickly. We located several schools of reds that we were able to use the wind to our advantage to make long casts and stay as far as possible away from the schools. We tossed several differt Gulp Baits today with success on them all. We wound up catching and releasing 30 reds today with the largest at 33in (11.5lbs) and 32in (10lbs). We finally quit as we were taking spray over the stern while powerpoled down in shallow bays with 1.5ft chop slapping us! Rediculous winds... but great fishing and NO ONE out there today ;)
