Was down on the lower river yesterday and saw a picup truck with three guys complete with tar heel accents buying fresh native steelhead from a gillnetter that caught the fish right there at the richwine bar. Lets see what is wrong with this picture Drift netting out of jet sleds all day long drift after drift catching only one or two fish per drift dozens of plunkers on the bars with no fish except the ones that they "Gladly" purchae for cash from their local gillnetter good buddy. Did I mention the set nets out in the surf at the mouth of the river. Looks like pretty intense competition Not at all unlike there non native counterparts who are also constantly trying to come up with a bigger better new age piece of gear or equipment to hurry out and get that last one.
