Spring Outing Stuff

Spring Outing is currently underway. Here are a few extra things this year for outdoor enthusists...

1. Minnesot Bait and Tackle--They have live minnows and worms for sale at both camps. Minnows are the way to go...at Seafarer, there is a bobber in the 2nd lake with a big ole bass attached to it!

2. Morehead City Excursion--There are a few sailing spots available (72ft schooner, Jeanie B.) and more spots left for the fishing trip. The fishing boat, Mystery, can hold more people and both trips stay in the sound, so sea sickness isn't an issue.

3. Peir Fishing--Jimmy from MB&T said the trout are running in the river. If you fish off the peir make sure you purchase a fishing license. It is $5 for 10 days and can be purchased here... http://www.ncwildlife.org/fs_index_01_license.htm .
