I've all but quit fishing freshwater. Nothing against it, just doesn't really do anything for me like it used to. But saltwater, oooooohhhhhhhh how I love surf fishing in the fall. We are in southeastern NC on oak island. Mullet migrating so thick you could dam near walk across'em. Caught my personal best trout today (24") and a mess of Spanish mackerel. Trout were 18", 23" and 24". Just barely missed a citation (NC's version of TARP) by 1/4 lb on the trout and 1/2 lb on a big Spanish. Best part is caught'em all right in front of the house we're staying in.
