Gulf Stream Fishing II - onboard The Run Off
Posted by Craig (131 reads)
I was up that morning at 2am watching a ferocious lightning display just a few miles off the coast and the storm was moving in the exact location of where we were going to be fishing.
We left the dock at 4:45am and we traveled directly toward the same storm that I watched some 3 hours earlier, which had moved farther offshore. Literally, we traveled straight toward the lightning which was about 40 (?) miles in front of us. After about 2 hours of cruising, we throttled back when we were just about 3-4 miles from the rain. We were in the Gulf Stream waters. This is how close we were to the storm.
We were on board The Run Off with Capt. Brian Harrington and the 1st mate was "wahoonbox" from www.sportfishermen.com fame...
"We are running black now, it is just us and the darkness." said Capt. Brian Harrington of the 42 foot fishing vessel, the Run Off. It is just after 6am and we are standing on the steering deck about 15 feet above the waterline traveling at approximately 23-24 knots. We had left the marina at Morehead City, NC about one hour earlier and already we were about 20 miles south of Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
