02/26/05 (date on pictures was off by one day) Capt. Chris and I picked up Don and Jody at South Harbour Marina today, saturday, at 11:00 for a 1/2 day fishing trip for bottom fishing. The wind was from the NE at a steady clip and we figured we would be blown out. But suprisingly we found the seas rather calm inside. Only problem was the watwer temp. was 48* and my hopes of finding any good black bass in this close to shore was not too good. Well over the years I have loged some spots in close that I haven't tried in several years. Well, sharks, sharks , sharks,and I mean sharks were everywhere!!! But finally I fine-tuned the boat on one spot, dropped anchor and kept moving the boat up a few feet at a time with the windlass until "bingo" we were pulling in keeper black bass two at a time. It didn't take long till we had two limits of bass in the box. Another GREAT day of saltwater fishing!!! Till next time, FISH ON!!!! Capt. Butch & Capt. Chris Foster.

Hey Butch! You're here too, huh? Maybe you read my other message to you on the other site. Definitely want to talk to you about your charter service there in NC. You've picked another great site to post. This site is very established, and also full of very knowledgable anglers both Salt and Freshwater, ....a bunch of "hardcores" I would say. Hope you stick around. Need those East Coast reports.

We get 'em here too. They're fun on really light tackle
