I had Peter and Semi come down from NY for a 3/4 day live bait fishing while in town on vacation. Started the day by loading the live wells with pogies and a few pin fish. Headed out 20 miles in a 10 to 15 mph SW wind. We stopped and set up for the 1st drift and the 1st bait in the water lasted 5 seconds before the AJs came calling. Unfortunately they were brutal and broke us off in the wreck. Once we got them away from the wreck we had a better chance and landed a few nice fish. Semi did a great job on her 1st AJ in North Carolina. Once we had enough AJs we tried another area and Peter/Semi landed a 22 lb Cobia, the next drift a 26 lb Cobia and the 3rd drift a 18 lb Gag. The winds started picking up so we ran to the inlet and tried king fishing on the beach with no action.
