I typed up a big Mward like report (story) and then lost it so I'll be damned if I'm doing it again - Mward you're nuts - here are some bullet points.

-My boat hadn't floated since August - it still floats and runs miraculously.
-Mward, Nathan, and Ethan joined in morning
-We saw birds and caught fish casting swimbaits
-Well everyone caught fish but Mward
-Mward had to leave at 11:30
-We were going to lunch at Joe's but he got rid of his lunch buffet so we took our talents and money to Mings China City buffet.
-Plan was to nap then reconvene for the grand finale bird show late afternoon
-It was 48deg in my house so at 2:30pm, I went to pull bait in nearby creek - landed couple aggressive teens on geezards
-Nathan, Ethan, and Joel met me about 345.
-Back in birds and fish soon after casting swimbaits and counting down; no luck jigging
-Water 48-50
-Lots of bait in channel 30 to 65. Lots of quality fish roaming in creeks and channel. Big schools are feeding great and moving up and down channel mid Roanoke River.

Caught 4 solo casting - straight stud








There she is - I don't know who took this - Mafia spy I guess - finally figured out how to clean mudline off - don't use boat for 7months.

Forgot a bullet point

-If you ever see me pulling rigs right through birds and breaking fish (and not even catching any fish), shoot me - just shoot me right there on the spot.
