Unofficially the boat Citation out of Frisco, NC is in the lead with their tournament-record 883 pound blue marlin. However, during the awards banquet Big Rock president Randy Ramsey interrupted the banquet and announced that there was a potential rules violation that would affect the leader board. The members of the Big Rock board need time to figure out if there were a rules violation and how to proceed if there was.

Big Rock Leader to be DQed?
Monday, June 21st, 2010Kayak Fishing Emerald Isle
Friday, May 7th, 2010Today 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.
Emerald Isle Fishing 4/10/2010
Monday, April 19th, 2010So 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.
Spring is in the air
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Well 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.
Fishing Report 1-1-2010
Friday, January 1st, 2010Crystal Coast fishing usually doesn’t slow down too much in the winter, and this year has been no exception. Anglers have been enjoying some excellent trout fishing this winter. I always check out Capt. Jeff Cronk’s blog. If there are fish biting anywhere on the Crystal Coast, you can bet he knows where they are.
Emerald Isle Fishing
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009My 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.
Emerald Isle Fishing Report 6-3-09
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Bogue Inlet Pier – Well it is officially summer time, maybe not officially, but it sure feels like it and looks like it to me. I just checked the fishing report over at Bogue Inlet Pier and they are really racking up some nice catches of a variety of fish.

Deep Freeze Hits Coast
Thursday, January 15th, 2009Well today ushered in a cold snap that will bring two nights of hard freeze to the Crystal Coast. And after the hard freeze, I guess the next few days are soft freezes? Its going to get down to 18 and 19 degrees tonight and tomorrow night. After that the night time temperatures will be in the 20′s.
