Headed down that way this weekend to visit my dad. Any pointers for someone trying to get out and fish? Is it worth attempting with the fly rod?

thanks.

If you can throw a jerkbait or a crankbait with the flyrod, by all means, go for it.

..... may have to bring the doc along to stitch up the back of my head ....... what general locations would be most productive (main channel points, back water coves/docks, etc.)? Pop lives back where Virginia Dare is ... if that makes a difference.

Thanks - if you see a guy bleeding out there stop by and say hi.

Can you pitch a jig with that thing!!!!!!!!!

I have some flies i could make that happen with ......

If i were to keep it close to Virginia Dare area (may be on a kayak) anyone have some tips that direction>?

Assuming that you are targeting bass and/or stripers...I would say that a jerkbait (shad colors) or even a deep crankbait (DD22 is my personal preference) on main-lake points is about your best bet right now. A lot of guys are throwing the Alabama rig in these same places, just working it slll...oooo...wwww....lllyyy back to the boat.

Water temps (atleast up in the Blackwater and main channel of the Roanoke Rivers) seem to be holding pretty steady in the lower 40's. With this mild weather we're having this week, it shouldn't change much.

Tight lines...and be sure to post some pics!
