Fishing
I have added Sensation Sportfishing to my list of charters. Last night after a brief conversation with Dale Britt about the great fall fishing, he noted his fishing report. I took a look and thought it a worthwhile resource. Click the link and check it out for your self.
Beaufort’s newest Business coming in March 2012.
At the corner of Front and Queen sits 525 Front Street, which will be the site of “Beaufort Market and Deli”, a concept of Irvin Warren’s, one of Beaufort’s newest residents. As Irvin tells it, there was no place to grab a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk convenient to Beaufort’s Waterfront.
Also having a deli as a component of the Market was crucial, enabling customers to get a great deli sandwich, or a pound of meat and cheese.
We look forward to the opening.

Today near the George Summerlin Reef off Cape Lookout, we caught albies, and a cobia, albeit a small cobia, saw a Manta Ray jump, and had a gull attempt to join us in the boat.
One cannot ask much more from mother nature on such a solemn date in our nation’s history.

Why Beaufort?
13/07/11 18:30
Living in Beaufort provides residents opportunities not necessarily afforded others. Case in point. Monday morning the weather was excellent, with fair seas and light winds. So faced with a day off, we hopped on the boat and headed the 60 plus miles up to Ocracoke for a little fresh seafood diner.
Our friends never having never been to the island, wanted to catch a little sight seeing, so off we went to the light house. It’s fun, and renting a golf cart helps out in the heat.
On the way back to the hotel, we caught a little local color, checking in with Fatboy’s Seafood Truck!

Cobia Dreaming
01/03/11 19:17
Last year all of the fishermen who have a grain of salt in their blood could not stop talking about the epic cobia bite that unfolded before our very eyes, up and down the beach from Emerald Isle to a little north of Cape Lookout. Massive pods of menhaden dotted the waters near shore; many days the black schools of shad looked like rain drops on the hood of your pickup truck, they were so great in number. Jim Strickland, the pro photographer, snapped this pic of a hooked cobia, while a couple of others lurked deeper in the water column, seeing what all the commotion was about.
What got every angler fired up was the fact that swimming through, gobbling up these menhaden, were cobia. And lots of them!
As a charter boat fisherman commented to me, even Ray Charles could catch one of these muscle bound brutes. Hey, I even caught a few my self. Pete Zook, a third generation charter captain, said to me one day that he had never seen such a massive cobia bite on the Crystal Coast. Now that says something of the magnitude of the bite. In the pic below, Bill Morris, and yours truly reel in one of many cobia. Jim Strickland rested up between cobia catches to take this photo.
So the question is, now that temperatures are rising, will they come back? Will the bite be as epic this year as it was in 2010. And when will they show, if it turns out that way.
One of the most impressive things to me was the whale sightings. They would come and gobble up the menhaden just like the cobia, along with the blue fish too. Send your thoughts to info@waterfrontbeaufort.com

Taylor's Creek Boat Ramp
26/02/11 19:19
The NC Wildlife Boat Ramp in Beaufort on Taylor’s Creek is undergoing renovations, as the NCWRC website states, the facility will be closed from December 27, 2010 until complete. It looks from the pictures below they have done a lot of work, with the base layers in place and looking good. We should be good for the spring season.
