 
Family and friends on the annual trip to
the Banks. Caught some Albies. They would swim right by our
legs chasing minnows. Had a blast as always. Caught plenty of fish,
November 2002.

1 - Nice keeper Red caught during a
run of blues and trout. It was just of size so we kept plus it was
this guys first Red ever caught after years of fishing the surf.
2 - This is Chad Dutton cast netting for finger mullet. He has a
pretty good throw with that net wouldn't you say? (..wonder if he
gives lessons? - Tom) 3 - See what I mean. Shhhhh.....don't tell
anyone about this honey hole. 4 - Yes this guy is in his underwear. I
told him waders aren't that expensive.

I was down in Oct. and caught this little Spanish.
Thought it was a start to something but it was
the only one we caught. Thanks.

Tom,
It was nice meeting you on the north end
last week. Here are two 43 inch fish caught there on high tide
10-18-02 at about 9:30 pm. These were the only two we caught but I
did see six more about the same size.
Good fishing to all and can't wait until next year.

Tom,
More fun for the masses.
September 2002:
My
buddy and I came across a school of Spanish busting glass minnows.
Jumped out of the vehicle and hung this Fat Albert on the first cast.
20 minutes later and half a mile down the beach this guy finally came
to the beach. I ran back to the truck for a quick photo and release.
Meanwhile my buddy is steady filling up the cooler with nice keeper
Spanish. While still huffing and puffing from the jog up the beach I
cast again and Wham, Albert's little brother started my real
screaming. Here we go again. It doesn't get much better than
that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jack,
Duane Jordan here (The Chumbucket)!
I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting
you in person, yet!
Maybe next trip? Got a picture of a big ray we landed
on our last trip. Didn't know if you wanted to post it or not. Love the website and of course...the Island! See
ya (hopefully) next trip!

Andy King sent these in!!
"I got the 3 drum on Oct 23rd
1999. I was really surprised at luck. Before then the biggest drum I'd
ever caught was around 6-7 lbs. I enjoyed the whole trip. You
may know some guys that witnessed my 3rd catch. The Byrds from Kitty
Fork area have a RV called "Bird Nest". Mac
Sutton was with them too. I don't know them well but we're from
same neck of the woods and I showed them the last drum I got that
night. We all had a fit. Can't wait to go back
sometime."

I really love the Island and your website.
Thought I'd pass along a pic of my biggest Drum.
It was caught 11-08-01 just north of the Point on the south end.
Fish was 47 1/2"L x 28"G. Estimated 46.6lbs using a
formula I found.
Keep up the good work on the site.

Brian Delk with black drum caught 5/3/01 on the Island.
This was the first time that Brian had ever been fishing and had
never caught a fish before. The fish was 49 inches long and 21
inches high (not girth). Estimated total weight 50 lbs. The
fish was revived and put back to be caught again!

Jack, thought you might like to see a 17 lb
flounder. Only one problem, it was caught on the
wrong island.......Portsmouth!! Charlie Schoonermaker was the
lucky soul.

(hate to post one from the
"wrong island", but it sure is pretty!!)

Doormat flounder caught at the Jetty!!!
|
Just another average Red Drum?
|
What a fish story this is... but I'm not gonna tell it
(Jack tells a
much better fish story than I do)
|
Nice catch... actually it was caught out from Islamorada Key,
Florida one Christmas Day!

This is what it used to look like at the North End during the
"DIFF CLUB DRUM TOURNAMENT"
(... can't remember which one is mine!)

See Ladies.... This is the way to spend quality time with your
