Just got of the phone with my buddy. We are heading to Morehead NC in less than 2 weeks to fish aboard the Blacksmoke which is a privately owned 52ft Hatteras convertible.
Leaving on Tuesday evening May 9th. We won't head offshore until Thursday morning (weather permitting) but we'll have a 21ft CC to keep us happy on Wednesday inshore. Hopefully we'll catch plenty of blues and spanish....saving a few big spanish as marlin baits of course ;)
I'm pumped up!! Here's a pic I snapped on a trip aboard Blacksmoke 2 years ago when we caught gaffer mahi and some wahoo. We had 13 guys on board that day and 13 cases of beer. By EOD it was all gone and the captain didn't even drink :-/. By the way, it was a bachelor party for the guy on the left without the shirt:
