Good to see the kind of stuff we used to see on this site: fish! Thanks, KJH. I hear it's been a killer fall.

I fished my Beulah bluewater 10/11 with a levee 20lb flour leader... there were a few 15lb+ fish landed (just not by me)
but those small/med fish are no joke and will try to take your rod and reel with them... trying to lift them out of 30-50ft of water is a task, only to have them go on another 150ft run
i had an 8wt with we incase we had a day with winds 5mph or less and wanted to throw topwater (didn't happen)
I saw some gear literally blow up
- 3 broken rods (not mine... this time)
- 1 reel explode into multiple pieces during a run (guy i was fishing)
- 2 of my fly lines are going back to Rio tomorrow
- a few other people lines got a little shorter from props

beads forgive a dUm question KJ (I'm nowt-a vury smart ma'an)  but where's that at and what kind of fish are those? only thing i know, it's gotta be an ocean (cause they don't float them flat tops in puddles) and it looks a little chilly by the cloths everyone is wearing... thanks (and cool pics too)..as usual ..L.T.A.

Did you guys carry around the steel drums and the board with holes in it, just to shuck oysters? That is some dedication to oyster shucking if so.

yeah false albacore off the southern part of the outer banks
it was in the high 30s in the mornings and wind was gusting to 25mph which meant we got wet and cold
one of the guys who lives close brought in the board and drums... pretty cool setup
