This past holiday weekend a local surfer from Hubert, 31 year old Jeremy Lee Crandall laid down his life in an heroic attempt to rescue some swimmers that were in trouble in the waters off Emerald Isle. Crandall swam out to rescue a father and son in distress and passed his board to the son. After that he went under and drowned.

Today the weather was supposed to be more like summer instead of spring along Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast. So I hit the water in search of some fun in the sun.
And boy was I glad I did. After the brutal winter we had, it’s so refreshing to have summer bearing down on us rapidly.

So I made it out to my favorite hole on this past Saturday morning. Boy the water and air temperature are sure rising, and none too soon if you ask me. I headed out at about 10:30 in the morning, and the water seemed a lot warmer than the last time I was out.
Came across a buoy that looks a bit out of place.
The north wind and outgoing tide carried me and the kayak effortlessly to the point on Emerald Isle. While I went by the Coast Guard station it appeared as though they were setting up for a little cookout. And what a perfect place they have for a cookout, and what nice weather we all shared.

Well I think Spring has officially sprung. It’s nice to finally have some warm weather. This winter was brutally cold, and seemed to last forever. Yesterday it was so nice I decided to get into my kayak and hit one of my favorite spots by the Coast Guard station in Emerald Isle for some fishing.

I was in need of getting my wonderful new girlfriend some roses for Valentine’s Day. I have sent flowers in the past using proflowers.com. While they were usually nice I kind of felt they were a bit impersonal arriving in a box via UPS. So I decided to use a local flower shop this time around. I called Petal Pushers of Emerald Isle. I ordered a dozen roses and had them delivered to my gal’s workplace.

A managed deer hunt is taking place in Emerald Isle. City officials voted to allow the town to apply for a hunting permit to thin the over-crowded deer population around the Coast Guard Road area. There will be only two hunters allowed to participate. These hunters will only be allowed to use bow and arrows and must hunt from elevated positions i.e. tree stands.

Well my parents had been telling me about this place in Emerald Isle they frequently eat dinner at. Its called Chowdaheads and is right next to the Willis Seafood Market on Emerald Isle drive. Mom and dad ranted and raved about how good the fish tacos were at Chowdaheads. So I had to see for myself.

My sister and her fiance did some fishing the other day on the sound side of Emerald Isle. Somehow whenever she decides to throw a line in the water lady luck smiles upon her and she hooks up some nice fish. Even when she’s not actively fishing just having her around can bring you some good luck. Just ask my dad who had her on board when he landed that whopper 142 pound yellowfin tuna a few years back. Emerald Isle has been holding some nice fish this year. I’ve not had much time to personally get out and catch many of them though. Work has been keeping me pretty busy as of late. But this weekend, I’m going to try and get out there to catch something, maybe a nice flounder or trout.
At any rate my sister landed a nice trout that I thought my readers may like to see. I think it was like a 15 incher or more.

I’m sad to report that the otherwise perfect fourth of July on the beach and pier was rudely interrupted by a large and unruly crowd. Apparently after drinking on the beach all day some of the beach goers migrated to Bogue Inlet Pier’s property and began using a lot of vulgar language, fighting, and just acting out of control.
