The other side of the stream

[Glenn W]

I used to bass fish Buggs Island Lake (Kerr) alot and would get tickled every time-- The Virginia boys always ran across to pound the banks on the Carolina side while the Tar Heels flocked to the Virginia shore

With fuel @ $4.00/gal I'll be hard pressed to run all that way to simply get to the other side with no structure unless there is one hell of a cool water eddy hooked in during the summer.
As far as the overnighter thing goes in Carolina--- been there done that twice and am in no hurry to do it again. Do ya'll know how fast that tide cranks past 1,000 fathoms?--- The second trip, we set up on the 700 line in deeeeeep ass water and were off Occracoke Inlet before we knew it--- what a lovely night--- thunder boomers on the front side of an incoming cold front that was supposed to form well to the North. 5'-6' from dusk till midnight--- then it got shitty.

You guys are all spoiled with your 30-40 mile runs to go fishing. Our average trip last year was over 100 miles with our longest run being 127 miles for a day trip.

100 miles just to the edge! $2,000 fuel only! and as Box says, shit changes real fast out there, we usually stay overnite on the drift.

Every single person I know that has ever fished the other side out of Beaufort Inlet has done so during a marlin tournament. That right there should tell you why it's hero or zero.

These guys aren't going over there meat fishing. They aren't looking for a lot of bites...they are looking for Bosco to come a callin'. These guys don't want bites from dolphin, wahoo, or tuna...they'll certainly take a big one to help pay for bills, but they aren't looking for them.

If the proper spread it presented, I think you may happen upon some good meatfishing.

This is my theory...sounds believable to me.

i heard that before from da Box. big el marlin?
