Redheaded fella got one last night at the home town pier.
There is a secret spot seldom visited because it is a trek that will produce but it gets really dicey with a big blow. Only the young would have been out there last night, but they surely would have got into them.
I checked the video feed today and it looks to have slowed down some from the crowd aspect. One thing that happens today that did not happen back in the day is instant communication, so folks that live on the OBX can in a moments notice jump right into a big bite. Back in the day, before Captain Kirk communicators we did not even tell the Pier house employees if there were a few Drum around, if you wanted to know, you had to come out and check under the bench to see if any Drum were stashed under there waiting be put into the walk-in freezer when we were done fishing for the night.
Just checked video feed again, looks like a bunch of Buzzards milling around with their paws tucked into white Grundens.
The Oregon Inlet fleet started the White Grundens Bibs fashionista craze back in the 1980's, then along came the short top Xtratuf easy on boots.
I have to admit that I had to get a pair of easy on Xtratufs because my older regular taller boots were not easy to get on with thick socks. Anyway a whole bunch of white bibs waiting on a clicker to go off at the moment.
When I fished commercial it was the dark green Grundens and a pair of white shrimping boots along with a fish-blood stained white t-shirt and cotton shorts as the standard uniform. I cannot remember what happened to my white boots, they vanished into the greyness of my memories.....I still wear dark green Grundens.....
