hey guys,

ive got a vacation planned in late august and the house we rented has a boat ramp right on the property. its canalfront on the soundside obviously. was wondering what the fishing was like on the soundside and if taking my 14 ft jon boat was worthwhile.

would only travel a few miles at most and only on calm water. im a bass fisherman by trade so id be new to whatever approach i took. ive fished croakers with a drop shot in the rivers and chesapeake bay but thats about it. should i leave the boat at home and enjoy the vacation or would it be worth my while to tow it down there. its about a 2 hr trip for me from home to frisco.

thanks guys

do not bring a boat. bring a surfboard and a surfcaster. i used to go to the outer banks every summer for many years, and i always saw guys catching redfish and many other species from the beach. not only is there great surf, but the beach fishing is fantastic. enjoy.
