Hey John-boy! What was the name of that one hurricane that hit your twice down in Morehead? For those that might notice, John and I both spell our last name with one "t" because I am the middle of three boys and he is the baby brother. He and I fished all through our youth (when I wasn't trying to kill him) but we drifted apart when I finished college and got married. It was maybe 8 years before we drifted back together and both lived close by in NC. He was overwhelmingly a spin fisherman in his youth but he came back to flyfishing in NC. When he got married and moved to the Morehead,NC area he mostly went back to spin fishing but I sent him an old Fenwick Ferrulite (?) two piece fiberglass rod I picked up somewhere. It was about an 9' for 8wt with a Pflugger Medialist 1498 reel. This rod actually had a small but on the end. Only fiberglass rod from the 60's I have ever seen with that. This got him going in salt water fly fishing and that took him back to fly tying. Did you give that rod away? There are guys up here that would like to have it. I would still rather go fishing with my bro than anyone else I know.

Richard,
You're right about the Que. I specialize in cooking Que and make sure I eat the local que no matter where I go and eastern NC has the best.
In the thirteen years that I lived in Morehead City I can hardly recall a year that we did not have some type of tropical system hit, brush by or threaten that area. These folks down here have not had a direct hit in over a hundred years. When the big one hits, this is going to be a hell of a property loss as nothing is built elevated and most property is just a few feet above the high tide mark.
Good luck on the cobia.
John

Gotcha.. I missed the original post that mentioned SC, just the follow up when he mentioned the Inlet.I've spent too many days boarded up down there during hurricanes with empty bottles of Makers while guys from both Carolinas goaded each other about pronunciations, which state has the better red fishery, and who makes the best barbecue.(NC wins the cue test, btw)R

Subject: Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Surf fishing -- Floating line = idiot?The difference is understood on my end; my folks are regular visitors to Morehead City. But, he did say Beaufort, SC.--I spent a few weeks down there last September and for the last few years I have at least made a quick run down there for a long weekend. You're right, beach access isn't great, but the flats are. Bonnethead, sheepshead, and reds are all readily available by wading and a canoe will open up a lot of water and easy access to jacks. You do need a boat for the cobia.
Shoot me an email and we can talk specifics. All my "regular" spots down there are productive yet pretty well ignored by most fishermen, so it is almost always just me and the crabbers.
