Ocracoke Flounder :) AKA a 8lb 13oz big ol’ Corncrake Doormat!
Y'all.....seeing this monster laying on the sand that night in Ocracoke was just wild! We were in shock when we first walked up but without hesitation, I gigged him QUICK! And he was so big and strong that he bent our single speared gig almost in the shape of an L! We were soaked from all the splashing and craziness going on while trying to move [...]

Catching Bluefish in Hatteras, North Carolina in my BOAT :)
Once you find one Bluefish, you're in there! :) Because most of the time once you've found one, you've found a ton! They swim in big schools and you will see them jumping and swimming together and ready to eat! And most of the time you will see them feeding on little bait fish in the water and see all the birds diving in the water too! Bluefish put up such a stron[...]

Homemade Carolina Crab Cakes Recipe :)
Oh my goodness, I can't believe this was our first time making homemade Crab Cakes! Y'all, they were SO DELICIOUS!! Crab Cakes have always been my favorite go-to order at a restaurant because it was the one seafood meal that I hadn't ever spent the time making at home. I guess because it's not something that we typically try to catch a lot of and even if we did[...]

Stripers AKA Rockfish :) Blackened & Fried!
Y'all....I LOVE Rockfish. Seriously, it's one of my favorite fish in the world to eat! It's so juicy and has the perfect amount of flaky yet meaty texture making it super versatile for cooking! Our favorite ways to eat it lately have been baked in the oven with lemon, olive oil and your blackening seasonings and then of course cut up into bite size chunks and fried wi[...]
Buy a Boat, Drink a Beer, Get Along
They say, “The two happiest days in a boat owner's life: the day you buy the boat, and the day you sell the boat.” :) But, I can tell ya that if I ever sell this boat it’ll be because I’m buying another. I get it though, boats are a never ending project. I challenged myself last year without hesitation to buy a boat, [...]
