Trip Summary
Never trust the weather forecast when the wind is out of the north/northeast... at least not around these southeastern NC waters! Forecast for subsiding seas and diminishing winds was a pipe dream, as we got out on the water with Jacob and his wife, Gabrielle for a half-day trip. Jake is an active duty Marine, but both he and Gabrielle demonstrated true Devil Dog grit as we worked through very choppy seas and chilly winds through the morning. Perseverance and a can-do attitude made all the difference.
Thankfully, we were able to find the fish and put some Spanish Mackerel on the boat, trolling close in to the beach to get out of the worst of the wind and waves. At the end of our half-day trip (slightly extended), we came into Wrightsville Beach and made the scenic cruise back up the Intracoastal Waterway to the home dock in Hampstead.
