I dropped the boat in the water for a couple of hours and fished one of the local creeks off the Pamlico to try to find some trout.  When I eased up into the back of the creek, I saw something chasing bait. I tossed a Zara Spook at the commotion and look what I came up with.  The rockfish missed it the first time, and then he piled on it.  What a bite!  First topwater fish of 2011.
