Outer Banks Fishing
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. DC |

Bring a 4wd if you can. you want to drive on the beach if you can. db |

Outer Banks Fishing
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.

hook sharpening
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 Fishing: "a sport surrounded entirely by liars in old clothes" |

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 -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Boomerang Fishing Pro. , Stand Out Hooks , Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Mojo's Long Shot rig and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

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?

hook sharpening
In article , "Sierra fisher"
writes: I need more instructions. What does this mean: 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.

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.
