Picked up a nice ARS while bottom bouncing this weekend. It was a surprise as we were shallower than I would expect to find them - only 90'. Shame it had to go back vs. come home with me.

With my brother in town for a week, we were determined to make it out. Weather cooperated enough to let us push out 25 miles to 100'. Forecast 3-4' at 7 seconds was pretty close. Spaced just enough to be able to run 25 knots without too much teeth jarring. Trolled for a couple hours before...

Made it to the Cape Lookout jetty since the wind prevented chasing kings. Action was steady all day and kept moving up and down the jetty to get away from the spikes until we found some better fish. Couldn't pick up that last spec to make our limit of 8, but ended up with mostly 16"-18" fish...

Didn't want to deal with the hordes and take out the boat, so headed to a favorite spot away from the crowds. We were only folks at this spot. Turned out to be a good call!! Hope this still counts.... I don't know what it is about my pics, but they never orient correctly

Only had a couple hours, but it was too nice of a day to waste. Ran to a nearshore reef in 65' and picked up this nice 4 lb sea bass, a nice surprise in that close. We had over 50 in 3 hours, with 9 that kept. 4 including this one were over 2.5 lbs. Also picked up a several flounder, one of...

Nice bunch of kings caught 13 miles out of Beaufort Inlet. Also got the biggest albie I've ever seen estimated at 25 lbs. It was 33 x 21 and after a blistering run, dug deep and wouldn't give it up.

Fished with the girls looking for kings. While looking for bait, we found several schools of fat alberts right off the beach, most with a crowd. Didn't feel like fighting the hoard of boats that would swarm each school as it came up. So headed in to the beach to pick up bait, and a school...

Had an outstanding 2 1/2 hours of fishing the jetty behind Shackleford banks Saturday morning. While the original plan was to catch speckled trout, we hit a puppy drum blitz of epic proportions. Non stop 15 - 17" pups with 8 keeper size (+18") fish and a couple nice specks - 2 20" and 1 16" -...

So the admiral has agreed to let me get an electronics upgrade. I originally thought my next step would be adding radar. I've got a Garmin 4208 that is radar compatible, and I'm pretty pleased with it. But after using it for a couple years, I wish I had a little more screen real estate. When...

Went in search of breaking fat alberts and kings. No love on the alberts but we did manage some snake kings and a Spanish. Not the day I had hoped for but anytime you can get on the water it's a good day, and with fish in the box, even better!! Looking forward to more action as the weather...

Finally something to brag about! A nice Spanish we picked up on the east side of Cape Lookout. Couldn't hardly keep the blacktips away, but we did pick up a couple very nice Spanish.

Weather finally co-operated to get in a trip offshore. Headed 42 miles out and found the mahi biting, albeit tentatively. Ended up with 2 nice gaffer bulls in the 30lb range with a couple slingers thrown in. We had 2 come unbuttoned after several minutes and many short strikes. But it was a...

I'm looking for a spinner knob for my wheel. I'm tired of working so hard lock to lock when backing in. Anyone have any experience with the Edsons? Worth the extra $$? Any particular model stand out?

Anyone got a secret concoction that will get that film off your windows? I tried my 1/2 vinegar 1/2 ammonia and scrape with a razor. It did OK but not as good as the house windows.

Best of several kings we boated Saturday. I love the room in the cockpit and how this boat fishes. Shawnee - when do you want to go? They are chewing.

Picked this up inside of 5 miles fishing live pogies along the Beaufort shipping channel. Got another a little smaller and a couple snake kings as well.

Went out with the admiral another couple to just dink around. After witnessing the hordes of boats surrounding any bait ball to be seen along the beach and the crowds everywhere else, we headed out to a near shore wreck thinking we'd relax and just float enjoying the day away from everyone...

Stars finally lined up and was able to make first true offshore run in my 2320. Fished the Big Rock out of Beaufort Inlet and spots back toward home. Ended up with 7 mahi and a bonita. My Parker performed like a champ.

I'm already seeing rust spots on some of the screws in the cleats, hinges on the fish box and around some of the railing and other stainless parts. I'm surprised this is showing up so quickly as the boat is kept in a stackhouse and rinsed after every outing. Plus I thought everything was...

Finally took delivery. Here's shot from maiden voyage, a beach trip to the Cape. Looking forward to meeting with members in the MHC area. 3 By the Sea 2320 Sport Cabin Yamaha F225
