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

I had the pleasure of fishing with a Husband/Wife team onboard late this afternoon. Dan R. and his wife moved here recently from Virginia and were wanting to learn a little about fishing inshore. Unfortunately, it was very windy but, truth is, that's what mother nature is going to throw at many folks on any given day you plan on going fishing... so, what do you do? Go fishing anyway and learn to work with Mother Nature. That's exactly what we did. I often find that no one is on the water with very windy days but, there are many places to hide from the wind or use the wind to our advantage. We did just that and eventually found areas holding reds. We landed a few purty reds and I got bit for the 2nd time in my life by a fish.... yep, only twice in my life... (knock on wood). minor bluefish bite... thank goodness that's all it was! Great afternoon and some purty fish for their Grill!
