The best way to spend a weekend at the end of May is cruising around NC's jewel, the Crystal Coast. Sun, Sand, Bugs and we managed to Camp out on Cape Lookout National Seashore and had a blast fishing in the surrounding waters. We caught a variety of fish including Flounder, Blues, Spanish Mackerel
(personal favorite!!), Red Drum, and Sharks/Rays. I got to explore a bunch of new areas including the Lookout Shoals, East side of Shoals and Shark Island, all really impressive places. Found some amazing shells on shark island along with Reds, Chopper Blues, and tons of undersized Flounder in the surf!!!
The trips highlight for me was when we decided to tromp over Core Banks to the east side for body surfing and surf fishing...at the same time. You see, I was riding crystal blue waves and all of a sudden I saw a Spanish break about ten yards away, called to my buddy Mike onshore who slung our secret weapon out just in time, About the time his lure hit the water and I hit the beach, he was bent over fighting a 3 pound Spanish from shore!!! Can't beat that...
