up and down

The fishing has been up and down, depending on whether you have been fishing up or down. Capt. Gary and I were fishing up around New Bern yesterday and things were surprisenly slow, a few decent trout and a few decent stripers, but nothing red hot. I'm exploring down the river this week, Gary was down there around Oriental today with this report and pic:


"Better fishing down near Oriental today, more trout, some pups and flounder and this nice yearling" Capt. Gary

Still plenty of openings over the next several weeks if you wanted to get out of the house. I'd love to get back after those giant red drum on the east side. The guys crushed them yesterday on the fly and conventional.
