  Of course I've got to show off, a fish of a life time for me, so far, but it ain't over!! This one was 42x25 inches, caught 3 more smaller 39,29,29 inches. Wish I was back. It was slow for us Saturday 10/30 and Sunday 10/31, then Sunday night we hit on some big blues and drum. We were on the South Point, waders, wind coming STRAIGHT down the beach from the light house, still trying to get the sand out of my truck door locks and windows. Wind was so bad we only fished standing in the water Monday, too sandy trying to stand on the beach We were using cut blues/mullet on an 8/0 circle hook. I am trying to get another trip before season ends.

 Attached please find the picture of the 51” Red Drum caught by Jimmy Brown that won this year’s Diff Club Red Drum Tournament. It was caught on Thursday night, October 14th. You can see he tried to “chicken wing it”, but still couldn’t get the tail out straight! Lance Brown |

   These drum were all caught Saturday of the Tournament. We didn't win anything but the catching was great. First time tournament fisherpersons were Joan Johnson and Mark Baker. This was my second tournament but first good sized drum from the surf. John Johnson |

 Thought I would share this fish. It is my personal best and first large drum ever caught on the island. I caught it just above the sea buoy. 46" x 25 1/2" girth. Thanks for sharing. by the way, how much do you think a fish like that weighs? He was heavy!

     Fishing on the south end Saturday night, caught several sharks and rays. (Oct 9-12) Jeff Walker |
More to come later but I just had to
share this one now; you can only take this picture once a year
and then only if the weather cooperates.
Now to go start cleaning out a
month's worth of sand from the camper......

       Boy Scout Troop 8 had a great time on the island! We ended up doing a service project (picking up trash) for several hours on Friday afternoon and Saturday as well as going through some of the junior ranger adventures that the park service offers for the youth. Fishing report: Cold front blew in Friday afternoon with a strong, cold, North wind. Sat. afternoon, the wind laid down enough to get the boys to the south point and we put them on the dogfish shark. We landed and released between 150 and 200 just as fast as I could get them turned around. One of our scouts did manage a 25", 5lb. puppy drum which got filleted and blackened in the cabin that night! This was exactly what we needed for these young men! Thank you for all of the advice and prayers and a special thanks to Annette and Lanier at Davis Shore Ferry and to Lindsey and Cheryl at the park service for your parts in making this such an extraordinary event!

Cape Lookout, OBX from Pete Bell on Vimeo. A piece I produced, shot and edited for UNC-TV's North Carolina Weekend. INTRO: There are over 300 miles of North Carolina coastline and many families make yearly visits to these beaches. Hotels can get you close to restaurants and attractions but some folks are looking to cast off for a bit more adventure. Pete Bell takes us out to the South Core Banks of Cape Lookout National Seashore TAG: The vehicle ferry runs from March through December and is by reservation only. You can find information about Cabin Rentals, Ferry Schedules, and how to plan a visit to Cape Lookout on the National Park Service's website at NPS dot Gov slash CALO (http://www.nps.gov/calo/) Featured in the video are:
Thanks to everyone that helped out on this, especially Laurel Varnado, who was an excellent produciton assistant and helped motivate me to get this produced. |
