H3 main door lockout issues

[Will Garner]

Hey Ed,

Now Ed, you know better than that. Put some bling on that thing before you go naming it after The King of Bling! Sounds like you are having a good time feeding the fish out there. How is Cindy doing?

Oh yeah, good post on the door lock mechanism problem. Question for you, just how many fish went without their feeding while you fixed the mechanism?

Metal shavings: BITE ME!

Spoken like a true Blow Toad.

Hey Ed,

The "Magic Bus" (we love the name you gave her) has only taken us on a few short adventures lately, but she is preparing to escort us to Creede for the summer.
We love to fish, wish we were at your place right now!!

Will, That thing is already a Blow Bling Toad. C is fine thanks for asking.

Thanks to Prevost parts, I knew when the parts were comming. On the day before the ETA, when I was finished fishing, I bought an extra portion of blood worms and just threw them off the pier. The day after the repairs, I went fishing and threw another portion of worms off the pier before I even got started. You know that wildlife gets used to humans feeding them, All those poor fish could starve with out me.


Blues hit hard on 'Gothcha Plugs" today along with ocean mullet (mostly smaller) , and steel heads, both on worms. I saw one Black Drum taken. A real nice fish, about 26 inches and I guess around 23 lbs. Sand fleas seemed to be the bobbin bait of choice right around the pilings.

Cut bait is bringing in skates and rays. Not fun. Most old timers are staying away from cut bait and sticking with blood worms which the skates and rays won't touch.

Thge day finished early as the winds really picked up and made things not so much fun.

Will, load the bus and treat Carole to a nice stay at Camp Hatteras. The weather is really starting to get nice. You know that in another 30 days, you won't be able to stir them with a stick down here.

Ed,

We would love to join you and Cindy at Camp Hatteras. Unfortunately, we are still working and hoarding our vacation leave for the Maine (or is that Main) trip in July. I know our Grandson Sully would really like to be out there "fishing" with you.

See you guys again somewhere on down the road. Are you going to Maine for Skiff's get together? If you are leaving from Raleigh perhaps we could arrange an itinerary to "Convoy" to Camp Whatchamacallit, Maine.

Think about it, maybe there are some others that would like to join in. On Wednesday last week I saw two XLII's northbound on I-95 around St. Pauls. Maybe a couple of snow birds going home to roost!

Ed,

For what it's worth, I have used small wire ties to around the "clip" part of those black clips to keep them secured to the rod and from popping off, as they can occasionally do.

So far, it's worked fine.

Will,

Remember.....you and Carole have been assigned to explain the Fisherman's Statue in BBH.

Thanks Paul. On two of them, I went back and used realy small wire ties. My thinking was no corrosion and no rattle. Same result, great minds think alike.

[sawdust_128]

Well, you'll have to bring Sully down. We are back in Raleigh, but are cleaning and reloading to go again. In two weeks, the Bonner Bridge Catwalk will begin to heat up as the best shore/pier fishing on the OBX. Some where before June 1, we will zip down and park at the Pea Island State Campground for a few days of dry camping/fishing and then head to Camp Hatteras again.

I think our next outing is going to take us to the Chesapeake, as I have a hankering for Blue Crab picking in Annapolis. Oh yeah, and some more fish feeding. C wants to get to NYC. She wants to visit the Statue of Liberty and I promised her a stack sandwich at the Pastrami King in Brooklyn.

We weren't planning on the Maine rally. We are headed north somewhere in July after my doctors stop chopping at me. So mid July, there abouts? Maybe we can caravan to Maine. Our goal is to get as far north as we can and then jump to the eastern mountain ranges and follow fall south to Florida.

Will I hope the schedule works out. Keep me posted on your plans. If at all possible. I will work to it.

You need to post up a good picture of those graphics on the Magic Bus. Reminds me of something from Fantasia.


If you like fishing, You can use the charters out of Haterras Village or save about 50 miles of driving and use any of the charters out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center sound side (east) just north of the Bobber Bridge on hwy 12.

You are always welcome.
