If you’re in Cape Hatteras over the MLK weekend for some strange reason, drop by the SeaStar and…..we’ll be pretty surprised, and more than a little suspicious.

But you’ll still probably get a beer out of us, or ten, if we’ve just gotten in from fishing all day, which will be likely. Or, in some cases, if we’ve just gotten up. I’m bringing every barleywine I could find, as well as some Bell’s Brewery beers that just became available in NC. Uncle Jawbreaker will bring his normal ration of crap–case after case of Natural Light. Mr. Niacin will show up with Maker’s Mark, and the Oxymoronic Scotsman will bring Guinness, Becks and Cameron Brig. Still unsure of what Kehaar and our capo in the McCain mafia will show up with, but as long as it’s not Rolling Rock we’ll be fine.

We’re the southernmost house on the beach just north of the point, within walking distance of excellent structure should we decide not to fish Cape Point or Hatteras inlet.

The water temps are fairly anomalous for this time of year, so we still have a decent shot at catching the typical fall species, though the stripers most people are after this time of year prefer colder temperatures.

If we catch anything decent, I’ll post a copy. Don’t hold your breath, though.

    Too bad you can’t make it, Icehole. I can’t believe I’m going fishing in the middle of January. I’ll be the only one there without chest waders and other assorted paraphernalia.
