Going to do a little maintenance on relative's place. I can prepare for any sort of fishing that doesn't require a boat (kayak yes). Anyone know what's best in the Crystal Coast area?

1) Pier a Bogue Inlet Pier - whatever bites...Gotcha plugs,Mirro Lures, bottom rigs

2) Surf fish and maybe use kayak some for just at the sandbar line - blues, maybe some drifting for flounder

3) Put kayak in at new boat ramp at Emerald Isle and work the grass with topwater looking for reds

3) Put in kayak at Hammock beach and fish grass behind Bear Island with topwater looking for reds

Anyone hearing anything?

A good saltwater fishing forum for the NC coast is www.ncwaterman.com

There's a fishing report forum on there, however you have to register to see the posts. But they have good info on there.

You might be able to catch some sea mullet or grey trout off the piers this time of year. There's currently a moratorium on speckled trout until June in coastal waters due to the extreme cold that killed a lot of them this past winter. I don't think this affects grey trout though. There should be more info on the DMF website.

I live near the coast in San Diego and surf fish a lot. Right now it's halibut season in my area. I haven't nabbed any yet, but one of my coworkers already landed 2 good size adults and 1 illegal juvy. We just had a grunion run, where you could literally just go down to the water during the evening and catch them with your hands. Decent sized rays, leopards, shovelnoses/guitars are pretty common around here too and always fun to catch. My fishing spots are just north of a large marine sanctuary, so a bit of everything comes up from time to time. A lot of it is very illegal to keep, but I always release anyways unless it's a tasty fish. A lot of croakers I catch don't make it back.

I've been passing the time nabbing mostly surf perch myself, just screwing around and getting to know my local coastlines with some light rig and minimal gear. Just grubbing with a carolina rig, using mostly artificial GULP! bait sandworms/fleas since it's super cheap.

The same coworker who caught the halibut also bought a kayak recently. I've been thinking of getting one from CL, it would be nice to be able to get out there and have privacy. Good luck!

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
