Hey guys,
We're heading back down to Buxton next week, will be there Wednesday and staying through Monday. The better half and I are having a debate on how it will affect the fishing. I'd love to hear from you more experienced fellas on how this storm might affect things.

One more thing, I replaced the front bearings, rotors and brakes on the truck yesterday. I ran the old girl through all that brackish water last year. They were pretty well cooked. Thank God it's draining now.

FYI, my wife showed me the OBX for the first time ten years ago. Since then we've made 28 trips down. This will make 29. I just want to give a big thank you to everyone on here for teaching me how to fish this water....not that I know how. opcorn:

I'm sure after 28 trips to Buxton you know what your doing and what you like. There may be some good fishing before the storm as the barometric pressure changes and even right after the storm if you can hold bottom, maybe some warmer water will move in along with some big red drum, probably would have better luck if this were Sept., Oct. noreaster, but hey you're in Buxton and fishing, can't get much better, keep us posted and good luck! Where in Pa. do you live?

My advise is do not throw out cut bait unless you see that drum are biting. If you must throw bait you will do better on shrimp. If you want to catch quality fish use artificials and move a lot.

Are you throwing jigs? Ever try swimbaits when the blues are not a thick?

So, does that mean the fishing was good after Matthew?
