EPIC afternoon on the Cape Fear

Hit the Cape fear @10:30 this morning.  Decided to hit some new water this morning while I had some tide.  Second cast 19" red.  Moved on shortly after to a new area.  Found fish crashing small bait.  I sized my presentation down to a three inch bait to match the sized bait they were eating.  First cast nice striper worked me pretty good and then spit the hook.  Lost the next two same way.  Switched to a bigger hook and landed a striper and 10 more reds at this spot.  Went back to the dock to pick up my fishing partner for the afternoon and we went in the opposite direction.  Hit two of my favorite spots on the bottom of the fall and landed one 8 lb striper.  Moved a couple more times and finished up at my favorite stretch of water.  This is when it got crazy.  There got slack, which is normally bad, but not today.  We had over 30 bites on stripers today.  Got some on topwater late.  Landed @12.  Pulled the hooks on several. 

Awesome day and we left them biting as we got a topwater double to end the day.
