Could've been better.... Like if I turned right instead of left this morning... Too late now, but here's our story. We caught bait and cruised the Bait Balls off
Shackleford Banks. We headed east and looked at beautiful water and beautiful scenery. We got a little bored with the "nothingness" and casted some
metal lures. At one point it was pretty much a
Spanish Mackerel on every cast. I caught an
Albacore that I was hoping was a
Bonito. We caught a couple of
bottom fish. Finally, we found a
Cobia, and after a short delay, he inhaled a
bucktail. Bob played him expertly. I gaffed him amatuerishly. When he hit the deck, the
bucktail fell out of his mouth.
The Fishing Gods smiled, for a second....... We saw a
Humpback Whale, a few
Sand Tigers, a
Barracuda, a
Chopper Bluefish, and a bunch of
Rays.... The whole time we did this, there was a massacre to the west..
Why do I go east every day? Total Catch for the Day:
60 lb Cobia, 25 Spanish Mackerel up to 3 lbs, 6 lb Albacore, a 19" Gulf Flounder, 1 Black Sea Bass, and 1 Hogfish

What about the harpoon?
The Humpback Whale would've been no problem. I expect him to be dead on the Beach at Hatteras in a couple of days. It was in bad shape. Fin rot and all scratched up. He was beating his way across a shoal where the water was only 7 feet deep.
