We're going to be back in Buxton over New Years for four or five days. This is the first time fishing this exact time of year. We've fished October, November, February, March and all the "warmer" months but never over New Years. Can anyone give me some thoughts on what I should be targeting? I assume there will be pups and blues around. Stripers maybe?

Update on the Narrows.
Evidently over the weekend the Big Wheel Trucks dug the ruts a little too deep for Garbo's Grand Cherokee.
Just got back from being framed out at the worst most f....d place on the island.
Another Truck was leaving the beach and three times I went out into the dicey spot and flashed my lights for him to come ahead. They just parked in the road and did not move. I went out into the dicey spot in a crawl and wonder of wonder I framed out.
Fella that I had attempted to allow to go first then went by me on the beach and did not stop, same thing for the four other trucks. What goes around comes around.
Got a wicked Big Tuna work out digging out truck with sand spike and jack, got 90% of the sand out of the way when good Samaritan Joe pulled me out with my 100 foot 5/8 rope. Had left my cell phone at Team Wilson Headquarters sending a couple of documents to my email server.
Went to the carwash got a few cold beers at Cape Point Store and I am now safe and sound, never made it to the Point.
I tried to give Joe $50 but he would not take it, I did send him off with a big bag of fresh cobbs though, he should get bowed up tomorrow.
The fellas who drove past me, They are in for a lot of big sharks and skates and spineys, I think. One guy actually walked up to me, saw I was framed out and he then drove right on by me on the low beach (low tide route). That fella is in for a lifetime of big Sharks and ugly women.....
I will go to Ace and get my self a real shovel tomorrow morning
Likely my fault, spent thirty years driving Trucks and never got stuck but one time when my 4x4 broke, Grand Cherokee may be getting a lift job....
That's just plain low down rude to drive past and not offer to help,Update on the Narrows.

May their rod tips break and they get sand in their reels.
Thanks for the update Garbo. My wife's been following that troubled spot at the narrows all week. It was getting a little dicey when we were down in November and must have only gotten worse. If I see someone stuck with help I usually just leave them alone unless they look like they really have no clue what they're doing. If they're stuck with no one helping I stop 100% of the time and at least ask if they need help. In fact I pulled a fella out when we were down last time. He was blocking all access to the point. He did have a tow rope but I shredded it first pop. I use a a strap for lifting things with a crane. I think it's rated for 10 or 12 ton or so. It rolls up nice and stays under my truck seat all the time. It's seen a lot of use over the years.
Likely so, perhaps the head Toyota Truck guy can come down to the Narrows and demonstrate his equipment at the dicey spot.I understand that those Toyota 4Runners sit up higher
Needs to be at night for the right atmosphere.
Fished 55 this morning, bait was rolling faster than I could walk, but after last night I was not walking too fast today. 6" bruise on my right forearm. Forearm muscles cramping up, more workout than old Garbo had planned.....
Been raining hard all day. Not sure if I am going to the Point tonight or not:redface:
Rolled out to the Point with Team Wilson this afternoon.
Narrows is now impassable unless you go through at low tide on the beach.
From the looks of it no one ventured out on the dicey spot since Garbo framed out last night. High tide erosion made it a definite cave-in rollover into the water. Water was still too high to ride the beach.
Still could make out the squirrel scratches where Garbo was digging with his FHB entrenching tool.:redface:
Actually the current train of thought is Portsmouth Island, for Garbo.
I heard Verizon Can you hear me know works but if someone has real time experience, not a link let me know.
What is going on with LinkedIn, permanent suspension?
The ledge at the Narrows only shut down Sunday night with Garho the last sucker on it..... You can still drive by it on dead low, anything other than dead low and you are asking for it...it is real steep....Perhaps Trump can amend the law and make an alternate route through the Hook so old Folks like Garbo do not have to suffer through issues with the Narrows.
You can always park at the Narrows and walk in, I need to get in better shape for that. Being an office worker does not do much for Cardio back and forth to the water cooler
Thanks.
I have this fancy Solar Charger for my Car Battery you set on top of the hood, and I have a 12 volt to 110 volt converter that plugs into the Cigarette Lighter, so if it sunny I do not have to have the truck motor on to use my Lap Top to communicate with work.
Fished Frisco Pier out suck this morning with a Drum Rod. A school of Porpoises decided it was a good spot for them too, so they stayed for a couple hours busting up the Trout and Sea Mullet and Puppy Drum. I had the pickers get on my mullet bait, but the fish were too small to get involved with the Gami 10/0 J. Dang Porpoises scared everything off I think, a young woman Surfer showed up at around 8:30 AM so I left the beach. A pro Sea Mullet fisherman probably would have done well, but I had Drum on my mind.
I will report back if I make it out to Portsmouth, it is a long way from Frisco to Atlantic NC to catch the Ferry.

garbo.... were you in the white truck that fell off the ledge the other morning?
i was watching the fiasco from the point...
much easier to just stay out there for a few days in the camper than deal with that drive.
there were at least 2 trucks stuck in it the night before...

No that was not me, but I have been saying all week that someone was going to roll at the ledge.
I was stuck Sunday Night in a Grand Cherokee.
I had been going to the Point last week on the upper road.
Over the weekend the Big Tire Trucks had dug the ruts too deep for Grand Cherokee clearance. 3 hour exercise in exercise, still a little wore out after three days.
When DD and Tater and I went Monday Night there were tire tracks where someone had drove down from the high road and the ledge had collapsed to the point where it was unsafe for everyone.

...the narrows suck but have completely been doable every day and night at the right tide.
garbo...you should put some realistic thought to the portsmouth idea if you are having a hard time getting around buxton.
just a little more on your own there.

Peurto Rican worm man... If Im you reading correctly, It's big trucks like yours that have big campers on the back and big tires are what chews the beach right where he is referring to. The cat knows how to drive the beach. Usually there wouldn't be any reason a stock Grand Cherokee shouldn't be able to motor right through there.
