Good day Fishing

[raleighjeepguy]

Caught 7 decent size amberjack keepers, 2 cuda, and a handful of mackeral. Prob caught about 10-12 aj's total in an hour or less.

looks like you had a good time... did you sell some of the meat to pay for the trip ?

 

[J.C.]

I'm jealous Looks like a GREAT time!

We didn't pay for the charter due to some connections so that was a major plus however we prob could have sold some to cover the cheese balls, slim jims, and the few cases of beer. I've still got about 15lbs of amberjack in my freezer and actually just put away a few filets at dinner tonight. Fantastic eats! I think the best was the 8 or so foot hammerhead that we just about reeled in. few more pics from the week:

the horse was about to kick my ass

and the view from the 3rd level porch was incredible

where was it at? looks like either north topsail island or the sunset beach/ocean isle area.

 

[raleighjeepguy]

Carova. About 12 miles up the 4x4 only access area

 

[Bobby D.]

is that a fun drive up to Carova? or is it boring?

Yea its usually fun. A few times its been crapped out by people not deflating or just overkill on drivers. The hardpack is awesome b/c you are just doing 30mph 10' from the water

How far out did you go to catch those AJ? To the shelf? What type of rigging were you using? Asking because my fishing has been less than par this summer.
