Nags Head 2011 Part III

[CaptMikeStarrett]

The last day of fishing I decided to return to the point and fish the incoming. Started at 5 pm and fished till 9 pm and only got a lizard fish for all my hard work. The winds where whipping a full 40 mph and you could not hold the wash with 8 ozs. So I settled on the south edge of the wash. Nobody got a single fish that night. Except me and one young man got a run off mystery fish.
The sea was angry..

I put in 40 plus hours of surf time and no big drum. But it is the best time I have ever had and some of the best weather ever.
On the way out today I saw some of the destruction from the hurricane I missed on the way in at 2am... WOW..
Here is the KOA campgrounds and the amusement park in Salvo. Not much left..


They need our business down there, so if you can, go fish Salvo/ Avon or Buxton.. Maybe even catch a big drum..

Wow, great pics. Thanks for taking the time to put that all together. I have actually stayed at that KOA, although it was a long time ago. Makes me wanna go surf fishing!

In 1973 that KOA was a Holiday Inn campground.
A KOA was nestled along side and we had a jolly great old time.
Years later the Holiday Inn was renamed KOA
Had some wonderful times there
