Very interesting - is there a relationship?

Last year, right around the time the Big Drum bite was starting to happen at O-coke, all of the talk at Buxton was about the blowtoad bite and how people were catching all they wanted. The Big Drum were being caught at O-coke during this time and the bite generally lasted about 4 weeks there. By the fishing reports I have been seeing, the blowtoads have been around Buxton for about a week. Anyone have any comments on this?

Hi John & Mud, "keep silent", I don't want anyone else knowing about my secret spot!!! Seriously, They always seem to show up on Ocracoke's south bar before they visit the circus.(The-Point). Bob from Tradewinds landed a 58 pounder a couple weeks ago. They have to be nosing around that surf now. There always seems to be warm pockets of water moving around that area. There is probably only 4 or 5 people fishing that spot this week. I can't take the pressure..........

Steve in Mass · 03-08-2002, 04:54 PM

And no body's gonna send me some blowtoads?

(I'm just jealous)......

Ewwwwww.......

Steve, you can have all of those ugly critters that get in my way. They tend to disturb me when I'm trying to catch the mighty kingfish!
