Wilmington, NC 4/18/08 Bonito and Blues!!!

Hit the Liberty Ship around 715AM with the rest of the fleet, caught blues for a while, no bonito. Decided to run up to Diver's, got about 3/4 of the way there and my GPS died, Im replacing my electronics and the new ones arent in yet, so I was stuck with my handheld. Ran back toward the beach and figured we would follow it back towards LS, but off Lea Island we came across a school of bonito, ended up with about 5 in the boat, school disappeared when some dolphin showed up. When back to the Liberty Ship, didnt get into quite as many blues, only 3-4 vs. the 15-20 this morning. Saw Capt. Wirt's group hooking up with a good number of blues as he prowled around the deck with his camera.

Got to feel something pull, got some fish for dinner, I can not wait for my new electronics to be in the boat, and I am really loving this Contender!

Go to www.SeawardAction.com to book a trip now, spots for this summer are filling up fast!

Thats a bummer.

Makes you realize how we rely on our electronics.

You getting a handheld one?

Oh, I have a hand held one, it was the only one I had with me and the batteries died. My new mounted electronics are on their way though. I figured as long as I headed West I would hit land after a while! Customers didnt mind, I still put fish in the boat!

Is it worth the trip to go fishing in North Carolina?

I live in Quebec so it would be a little bit of a flight.
What times are best to go fishing in NC?
