Hey Trip &DR......You guys brought back memories of when I was 17 or so and me and my feeshn bud would hit the planks on the OBX.There is ALWAYS sumpin big lurkin in the waters and the anticipation of catchin it cant be duplicated.Fish hard,know the species and you will prolly catchem.Nothin better than workin up a big appetite,smellin those planks,then smellin and woofin down a big ,juicey burger!!Remember:he might not of picked up your bait this time ,but ya know he definately swam by and checked it out!!!......good luck...the R
