I have a good friend who charters inshore around Charleston, every year when I see him I get a rundown of dumb questions he's heard.

What are some of yall's?

Example of his all-time favorite- "How many other captains have you known that were lost to the sea?"

I asked our captain if there were any fish in the middle of the Pamlico sound of the outer banks.

He looked at me and said:


“frick if i I know! I only fish the Ocracoke Slew”.

Not a “dumb question” but I did have a 75 yr old grandmother tell where I should be fishing two years ago.
Had trouble opening my cast net one morning, my three guys were watching hard. I finally asked them if they wanted throw the Mfr and all declined.

There are some good ones.


"Do you know any other spots"


"Do you think they will be here"


"Have you ever caught anything here"

Then what do you throw in the water to make a slick so that the guy who pulled up and cut off your drift stays on the spot thinking the fish are hitting?

No chips? I don't think I can fish without Doritos. Never have. I mean, it's gross because I have fish hands and I'm eating chips, but it's not the most gross thing happening on a fishing trip.
