Birthday weekend
April 26. 2009
Time for our annual birthday fishing weekend. On Friday we fished offshore and caught plenty of blues for dinner. We had a relatively short day (7-2) because we had lots to do and knew Saturday would be a long one. We cleaned fish, the boat, went to see Pop, and had a nice dinner.
On Saturday we left early on an exploratory expedition and went up Core Creek to Adams Creek to the Neuse River (the Inter Coastal Waterway). Once in the Neuse we drove west to Hancock Creek; lots of shallow water, very pretty, and fishing in this area comes with a private air show!

We were fishing near the end of one of the landing strips at Cherry Point MAS. The water was pretty, the fishing lousy, the food was great, and the show was wonderful.

And another jet, and you can hear the wind blowing in this small creek

We had three clear days of fishing; a little too much wind all along, fish for Friday night dinner and some for FO to take home; explored some new territories, all in all a pretty good weekend
And Jackson was elected elder, and turns 18 this week; hard to believe!
In town through Wednesday, then off to Charlotte and the Wachovia on Friday
