Corbin off of Rt 2. More of a cross-roads than a town. Heading to Virginia Beach while avoiding I-95 and Rt-17 backups on a Friday evening.

I've landed, (and kept/ate) my biggest fish I caught yet, off of my Prindle 18-2 about 18 years ago.

54inch King maccarel, with a pen rod and reel. Also have cuaght dozens of Black tips sharks, etc.

So yes, you could fish from that thing.
