Outer Banks Fishing

[DC]

I need a little advise. I have a family vacation planned to the Outer
Banks in June. We are staying in Duck. I have heard from locals (the
tackle shop on Rt. 12 in Duck) the fishing in Currituck Sound is not
very productive. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to surf fish.
I don't need anyone's GPS coordinates or anything,
just a little guidance.

Wait till you get there and check in with the local bait/tackle shops,
and fish where the crowds are. Bring a 4wd if you can. you want
to drive on the beach if you can.

DC,

A little farther south, along the Avon surf, I found good fishing for red
drum (and my son caught a puppy black drum of about 12 lbs) in the holes
along the beach identified by the breaking waves. Trout were more plentiful
where there were some structure off the beack, the breakwaters at Hatteras
for example. I did not catch much that I would want to fight with a four
weight though.

Now is the time to get your equipment ready for spring since fishing has
been a bit slow. You can make a hook sharpening file by welding two
chainsaw files together side by side and adding a handle. Maybe you can
skip the handle and tie the files together with plastic cable ties. Be sure
to get chainsaw files that are constant diameter, not tapered. Tool Depot
stores in San Diego have these files.

Stroke the hook between the two files toward the point. Just a few strokes
should produce a tiny razor like blade point. Be sure to keep the files
oiled since they can be destroyed by rust in a few days. Some hooks,
like circle hooks, can't or shouldn't be sharpened. Be careful,
any file used without a handle can be dangerous.

Regards,
Cliff

J B weild works great for this, just a dab at each end, around bothe
files, use tape to hold the files together while it sets up, and before
using the J B , so they do not shift on you

I need more instructions. What does this mean:
"Stroke the hook between the two files toward the point. "
What is the point, part of the file or part of the hook? What does "toward
the point mean? Is the bend in front or in back?
Thanks

I know this is hard to explain if you haven't seen it done before.
This would be a large hook 1-O or bigger.

Hold the shank of the hook in your left hand with the bottom ( bent )
part toward you, and the point to your right.
Hold the file handle end in your right hand and slide the file away and upward
along the point side of the hook with the hook point in the crack between
files.
This makes a sharp blade along the right side of the hook point.

Don't try to slide the file back against the point on the reverse stroke.
This may take practice to make a smooth forward stroke with no chatter.
A good file will remove lots of material and hook points will soon disappear.
With some large lead jighead hooks, I bend the hook slightly so the file
doesn't run into the hook shank and jighead.
Tough cheese if you're left-handed.

Regards,
Cliff

Oh instructions ? Well the device is free ,, you must pay for the
instructions :-)

Hold the hook with the point of it down pointing towards you, you draw ,
(instead of pushing) the hook back towards you, between the two files.

Do I need to draw you a picture and post it on

alt.binaries.pictures.fishing ?

Actually me doing a drawing,, or taking a photo of such a rig, and
posting it there, might help others get it

Why do people tie flies, make their own jigs, and or weights,, sure to
save money, but they also do it because it let's them practice their
hobby even when they can't be fishing

I bought a hook sharpener made with the two pieces of Chainsaw file in a
plastic holder. My flat file does a much better job of sharpening all sizes
of hooks.
