Fishing Trip Yields Bountiful Black Fish Catch
On the voyage the crew fished three miles out with shrimp bait. The captain and mate adjusted speed and trawled until the fish were found. The first day was modest, the second better, and the last day the party filled hooks with black fish weighing up to three pounds each.
Three Days of Deep Sea Fishing Under Summer Heat
The voyage enjoyed perfect fishing weather with three straight days suitable for deep sea fishing. The crew headed to shore each mid afternoon and left their catches to the mate. After baths and changes of clothes they kept quiet and followed Swansboro residents’ example to withstand the heat, with cool evenings and comfortable conditions.
