[rudderhinge]

rivercat, go to www.ncwildlife.org and you will find all the info you need. You will need a fishing license to salt water fish in NC. This is something new just this year.

Hi Ron. Yes you will need a fishing license. You can find out about in state and out of state temporary licenses and even order them online at this address: http://www.ncwildlife.org/fs_index_01_license.htm

The Friday and Saturday evening events will be held at the Moose Lodge located at 4239 Long Beach Rd, Southport, just about a mile from the Wildlife Ramp. The weigh-in on Saturday afternoon will also take place at the Moose Lodge. Fishing stops at 4PM, get to the ramp, load your boat, then drive straight to the Moose Lodge to weigh-in. There is plenty of parking at the Moose Lodge for boat and trailers.

The Friday night social will include hot dogs and hamburgers and the Saturday night awards dinner at 6PM will be a catered BBQ dinner.

No events will be taking place at the Community Center or the Harbor Marina. This is a change from original planning. All of the events will take place at the Moose Lodge!

Randy, Colgger, everybody.

I am very disapointed to say that it is looking like I may not be able to make it this yr. (would have been my 4th). The rise in fuel costs have driven my towing estimates to about $700 round trip. To top that off the crew that I have had to help split costs with me cant make it this yr, any of them. I am giving myself to the end of the month to find someone, but it is not looking good and I an not sure I can justify the total cost to do it alone even if I can get the last $600 I think I will need for towing lodging fishing costs and food. On a positive note though, since I do have a fair amount already ear marked for fishing, if I dont go this year I can buy the minn kota RT80EM I have been looking at so I can striper fish here more efectively.
As much as I will miss NC this yr (a whole lot) I guess everthing has a silver lining.

Dick,

I don't blame you for not towing that far. That is a lot of money! But maybe you can still come by your self (train, plane?) and we'll get you on a boat here.

Well guys

I have made a decision. I dont have enough money to make the trip on my own, could not justify solo anyway. So tomorrow I am ordering the minn kota
rt 80 em trolling motor for my boat. I have just enogh saved to get it and two deep cycle batts. this should substantially increase the fishability of my boat around here for Walleyes and those wonderfull Striped bass. I will be back next yr if I have to walk.

I would like to be there but it is our 40th wedding anniversary and I promised my wife we would go to a nice resort that week. I do not think fishing at Southport would do !

I just mailed in my registration for the Triumph Owners Tournament. This is going to be the best one yet folks so please don't miss out. Triumph Boats and the Triumph Dealers of the Carolinas are supporting this heavily to make it a great time for Triumph Boat Owners and folks interested in a Triumph. Hopefully we'll have good weather out of Southport that weekend and the King Mackerel and Flounder bite will be hot. Don't delay send your registration in soon! D
