The oldest organized deer hunt in North Carolina is the dog hunt at North State Game Club. Since 1906, the tradition has been carried on in eastern North Carolina. I’m privileged to be a part of this organization and hunt. I took Jane and Wilson on their first hunt at the annual boys and girls […]
Fall Red Drum Surf Fishing at Topsail Island
One of my favorite fishing activities is surf fishing for red drum in the fall at Topsail Island. The air cools down, the water is still warm, the bait are thick in the surf, and the drum schools come into inches of water to feed. I regard surf fishing for drum as a North Carolina […]
Fly Fishing Yellowstone
My first fly fishing trip out west. Went to Gardiner, MT with some experienced fisherman, and we spent several days hiking to parts of Yellowstone National Park to fish. Two days we went with guides, once on wade trip and once on a float trip, and then three days we self-guided. The more experienced fisherman […]
Trolling for Spanish & Blues with Kids
My first exposure to trolling as a kid was pulled Clark spoons on #1 planers for Spanish and Blues outside Beaufort Inlet, NC. Even as an adult, I enjoy the consistency and action of trolling for Spanish and Blues. They are easy to catch and can come in great numbers. A more important characteristic though, […]
Learning to Fly Fish – Foscoe, NC
I’ve grown up fishing in saltwater all of my life. My preferred fishing styles, in order, are the following: When I was invited to head out west for a fly fishing trip in Yellowstone, I was hesitant because I didn’t know how to fly fish, and it seemed to squarely fit into my least favorite […]
False Albacore Fishing at Cape Lookout
World class false albacore fishing occurs each fall at Cape Lookout. Albacore schools arrive near the shore, and when in a feeding frenzy, they demonstrate the ferocity of the albacore blitz. They are sporty game fish, powerful little tunas that rip line off the reel and will put on a long, powerful fight. A friend […]
Road Trip From Raleigh Around Outer Banks
Katie and I took a mom-and-dad-only-mini-adventure in Rosy Red, our 1974 VW Beetle convertible. Over five days and four nights, we traveled nearly 600 miles in the Beetle to explore North Carolina’s inner and outer banks, making use of many ferries and remote highways along the way. We had some mechanical issues on the trip, […]
So Long to Life on the Road, We Sold the Airstream
It’s been a while since we sold the Airstream. We sold it back in March. Though now that we are finished with our year of adventure and back to full-time tech careers, I’m just now getting around to publishing a post about it. There’s also a measure of disappointment about the departed Airstream and nomadic […]
A $5,000 Mistake on our Year of Adventure
In all of my boundless wisdom, I rented our home on a two-year lease just before we departed on our year of adventure. Though we called our RV trip our year of adventure, Katie and I had determined that we weren’t going to set an actual timeline on our adventure. We would travel as long […]
Why We’re Ending Our Year of Adventure after Nine Months
When moving from our home life to our road life, we didn’t waste much time transitioning from one life to the other. In the course of a few weeks, we bought and fixed up a vintage Airstream, overhauled our Tahoe tow vehicle, left our jobs, stored our possessions, rented our house, and disappeared over the […]
