Easter week we rented a house in Avon. Then come Oct. it is usually just me and a couple buddies that go down for a week or so. Not sure if it will be the week of the Red Drum tourney or not.

I am gonna head down over my spring break at the end of March if I hear of any large Drum activity. I have never caught one before but after catching a bunch of puppies over Christmas week I can't wait to tangle with a large one.

I'm gonna make at least one trip down there in the spring time...one trip. I'm hoping to God the bug doesn't bite me 1/20th the way it got poor JohnM?!?!

A 9 hour one way trip...that's round trip + lunch to the Ditch...that's BillB (mah friend

) and half way home....that's about 6 months worth of trip to my local haunts

Chris...if you need any companionship on them trips you got planned, send up some smoke signals...that's the kinda year I'm hopin' for this year

I go solo most times and sleep on the point in my truck

how safe and legal is it to sleep on the point? do you guys have campers or just jump in the back seat?

Fish Hunter · 01-19-2001, 04:06 PM

Legal it ain't unless you have a buddy fishing at the time you are sleeping. No camping in National Seashore.

Safe? Ask the guys from Charlotte a few years back that parked New Years Eve on the very point in a new Ford 350 Extended cab. They were warned they were too close. They went to sleep and the wind shifted. The truck and camper got Very wet.

As long as you are sensible its safe. There have been a few incidents in recent years of theft, but nothing major that I have heard of. OBX is best done in pairs. Even being cautious and very safe, S*** happens.

I'll be there as often as possible.
