"If the wind is blowing... we are not going." Your safety on our vessel is are primary concern. You will be instructed as to the location of all safety equipment and will be asked to wear a PFD while on board. Children will be required to wear a Personal Floatation Device (PFD) while onboard by law. A second site I always visit before heading out is the NOAA weather service. This site will tell you the things about the weather you should be aware of before heading out to sea. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is another great thing you pay for with your tax dollars. You might have seen the weather channel when they refer to the "Smart Buoys" placed offshore in the Atlantic. The info on the linked site is derived from these buoys along with satellite and other sources. Just click the link: Kingfish are the most sought after fish in the area. Because of time resources available on a single day trip, we usually do not go after fresh baitfish on the way out unless you ask us to. Here is a site that describes the advantages of using artificial bait for Kings. Tides are always a factor in getting fish availability. the closest reference point to get direct tide numbers are those published for Tubbs Inlet. FYI, Tubbs Inlet is the non navigable inlet between Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach. From the water, it is about 500 yards west of the high rise condo on OIB.

What kind of fish? are biting is a frequently asked question. The following link, paid for with your tax dollars is a great place to check. If you are just going out to eat, it also will help you decide what to order. It may also help when you are purchasing ready to cook seafood at a great local fish shop like Cap'n Jack's just east of the traffic light at Ocean Isle Beach. Rutgers Water Temperature Site Would you like to know how to check the temperature of the ocean water so you know where the fish are most likely to reside? Most all the good captains check this site before heading out. They are looking for trends over the past few days so that they can place you in the middle of some great big fish. The site is by Rutgers University Marine and Coastal Science Department. It is supported by the National Academy of Science and since you help pay for it, use it. You can check water temperature for yourself just by clicking here: This is a great fishing story from the friendly folks at the Raleigh News and Observer. The comment from the previous record holder is priceless. A friend of mine sent me an email with a strange sort of fishing they do down-under. I promise we do not do it this way on the Emma Rose.
