Issue 24    June 22, 2017   From Somewhere Inside Oregon Inlet

PCBT Registration    AKL Registration
Oregon Inlet is Sweet!
Its tuna time on the Outer Banks and the fleet has been in the meat for weeks. The run is a bit longer than we like but the northeast grounds are packed with fish while the southard bite has been plagued by duskies. So run Boys, run! The fuel dock will be waiting when you return. The blue marlin bite has been early and exceptional!
Meanwhile, word on the dock has it that the Crack has some lumps (yeah, I actually said that) but I haven't been able to confirm. The Inlet looks awesome though as the Corps has continued to clean her out on a regular schedule since last summer. Gotta love that!

 

 

 

What's Up With the Bar?
We are taking things up a notch this year - Gosling's Rum has stepped up as our premier sponsor and we will be enjoying Black and Gold Seal and the Family Reserve. Old Fashions anyone? Jefferson's Bourbon (well any kind of bourbon) is a first on our bar in 27 years and why not have the best?! And last, but certainly not least, an awesome vodka for all - Tito's will be on the bar all week and they are hosting our Thursday Outer Banks SPCA night - have a signature drink and adopt a dog - its a good thing! Please make me proud and welcome our new bar sponsors the way only a true pirate can!
 
 Host Me, Baby!
A huge welcome to our awesome new Host Sponsor - Golfito Marina Village! If you are one of those Costa Rica fisherpeople they you will love to get to know the crew from GMV during Tournament Week. Did you know that Golfito is the drop off and pick up site for all transports? Did you know that GMV is 200 slips of pure awesomeness? Did you know GMV is blessed with a blue marlin bite that rivals Oregon Inlet in the Spring? I bet there a lot you didn't know about Golfito Marina Village - and PCBT is going to introduce you - so relax and put your feet up...this is going to be fun!
