Outer Banks Vacation Photos

[tthemadd1]

So I just got back from the Outer Banks and have a few pics to share. I should be getting some more in a short time as others with me develope theirs. We stayed at Frisco campgrounds which is the best one on the islands. off NC coast. I befriended a hot little ranger chick and she took me out to a reef in the sound. Yeah.... made of spare tires... get that :yes: :yes: :yes: Anyway, I wasnt aware before how many different tropical fish swim up this far. Here are a few pics mainly from surf fishing. I was triggers, bat fish, angels, and even dog face. On another day we did a little fish hunting with the metal barbs. Caught Tuna, dozens of black tip sharks, a bull shark, blue fish, Baracuda, and kobia (sp?) Only kept the tuna and kobia, great eating. I highly recommend it the place is great for fishing, lounging, fires on the beach, windsurfing.... Oh yeah and sand on the beaches at least twelve inches deep. Soft sand. Beats Myrtle by a land slide...
So here is a pic of the ship that washed up during our stay.. Some baby sharks we caught and released as well as a small skate. We actually saw schools of skates, up to a dozen, swimming together off the pier and it looked really cool. We released the skates we caught as well. A pic of a small rock crab, not sure what kind, and some pics of the Hatteras lighthouse

What's up with the boat? Just washed up out of nowhere?
Cool Pix by the way! Can't wait to head back to the beach!

The boat was a 40 foot ocean sailor... I believe from England? dont quote me. Their bilge broke and during a storm they were rescued. The boat was blown ashore in 60 foot swells.. Yeah 60 foot swells.. I believe it was out in the ocean for a few days before it finally washed ashore during high tide. The coast guard was getting ready to dread out the keel and right it before I left, but a storm came in and they had to wait. I think it would have been pretty spooky to see it coming ashore. LOL

Yeah I dig the cobia....... Big fan of the grouper at Sand Bar and Grill.
I stayed way down south.... Less people, more space. Also, I wish I would have known about the shark tank. Stopped up north for lunch on my way out. Went to the Pit for veggie wraps. I recommend Canadian Hole for an afternoon, got to take my windsurfer out and also watch the new kite boarding epidemic unfold. Really sweet...
