Wilmington. PM me and I'll help you out.

Heck, I'll rent mine to you. It has unlimited calling minutes. I pay the bill every month and only use it one time per month. Considering dumping it altogether!

Hey hey, now you're giving away our software sales secrets! We use that formula to bring customers back onto the reservation pretty much every day.

I said "reasonably priced" not "cheap". No offense taken.

Can someone please provide a recommended installer for a Garmin GHP 10 AutoPilot? My boat is in the MBI area. This is a 30' 6" express with twin Yamaha 250's and I do not have a trailer (not su ...

GlobalStar works again after they sent more satellites into orbit. I have the $40/month unlimited plan. Can't complain and it works okay.

I've got my Lowrance system working right now (knock on wood) so I'm going to ride it out and see if they can give the kind of years of service you would expect for the money they cost. If I get even ...

I own Lowrance and always have, and I say, BUY GARMIN!

Yeah Shane, sounds like what to do when life gives you lemons. I'm down with it. We catch a lot of them in the colder months offshore a bit, and the big ones would probably need gear a notch bigger. ...

If you know how to cook tuna, they are "class B" tuna. I have served FA's to larger groups and they have raved about it. Try it blackened on the grill with Paul Prudohnne's redfish magic. It ...

Emerald Isle is even further from the tower. gonna be a long cast. he he, couldn't resist!

brxk55, try creating a new post and also see what's cooking in the Nearshore forum.

Sad news indeed, and I pray for peace and comfort for those involved. I just read the article in Thursday's Star News.

Does anybody know how or why they struck the jetty? May we all learn somethi ...

Dang those lures rock!

Our tech support department had a tough day today, so I made this little xtranormal video to give them a laugh. Thought some of you might enjoy it too. Here it is:

My brother rented a guy's trailer in Islamorada for 5 months just recently. It was very economical and accomodating too. Just an idea.

Maybe flying charter jets? What about something crazy like putting together charters from up North down here, bringing guys that want to fish real bad from some awful snowy, icy airport up north down ...

Thank you Stuart. I just turned 40 last week, and I'm turning over some new leaves.

Haven't fished the keys, but have fished St. Croix. My choice is to live here in Wilmington (and fish here year round) and visit St. Croix whenever possible in February/March. But, I may try to score ...

Dave, I have a big honkin Dell PE2900 with dual Xeons that I'm not using anymore, could you make use of it? Warning, it sounds like a helicopter... PM me if interested.

Onslow Bay!

Maybe a Shimano Tyrnos 12 with 50 or 65 pound braid and a power pro swivel so you can swap between 40 pound mono top shot for trolling and 80 pound leader for bottom? A MH Trevela jigging rod might be ...

I grilled some wahoo yesterday and it just happened to come out waaaay better than my other attempts. I mean it was a complete blow away - wife and kids too, nobody could stop taking seconds and third ...

I haven't done a ton of snorkeling, but I messed around this summer a bit and saw some nice fish in Mason's Inlet (north end of Shell Island). During slack high tide one day the water looked like the ...

Bambam, right on. Good time to get caught up and committed for the next window.

I believe the NC regs say female crabs of 6.75 inches must be thrown back.

I am hoping to catch some stone crabs this Fall as well. PM me if you want the info I have learned. Maybe we can help one ...

Dang, I'm way under the average, I guess I'll go ahead and have seconds at dessert...

Wow, looks like the predator fish would really like to vomit that fish up! Maybe that's normal? I imagine swallowing a pinfish would hurt a bit too.

if the fish went after only specific species and depleted stocks of it, I think that would be worse than just eating whatever is nearby and abundant, right? Seems to me the summary of "potential ...

We'll be out of MBI dark and early, probably go 70/30 bottom versus trolling. We'll be on 69, boat name is "New Day".

Can't you just use a microSD chip instead of a laptop? My mid range Lowrance units have that option and it works great. I'm sure Garmin and others have that capability.
