Fish finder sliding sinker rigs with 8 oz sinkers, carbon leader, 7 to 9 ot hooks. 30 lb or better test line.
Great hotel rates here on Bogue Banks untill school lets out. If ya love fishing and fresh seafood then your hangin at the Outer Banks. I weighed this pretty girl at EJW sporting goods in Morehead City, NC and
Oh Ya it was a citation fish. 51 inches and 58 lb Pig? she is now on a diet. Mine!
Please fish responsibly these fish get to 80 - 100 lbs Please release any under 33 inches and even then don't be tempted to keep a 17 lb fish as that is a baby a may be nearing it's first spawn. There are more out there and much bigger . Tight Lines!
