Response from Lance:
Hey Thomas, sorry the weather put a hindrance on the options today, like to start off by saying shallow water in the pamlico sound is some of the best fishing in the world, we have 50" red drum swimming around in less than 1' of water haha, but, its fishing brother, one day we kill em the next day its a struggle, some afternoons are better than mornings and vise versa... the ocean was rough,
the bar was dangerous, and on a hard SW wind like yall had today, thats PRIME drum fishing conditions, but not always do we find em, I spoke with Mike and almost everyone today in the ocean and the sound had scrappy fishing, or nothing at all, I know the feeling, took a 6hr bass fishing trip in FL caught 2 small bass, next day they tore em up all fat 6 plus pounders lol... its fishing brother, im sorry the trip wasn't "as advertised" per your words, but you also have to remember social media has ruined fishing, not every day is a stellar day of catching, over all... I hope you enjoyed the time spent with your dad and son and yall made some family memories catching what you did catch. Mike said the little boy seemed to have a ball!
