I drove 14 hours down to the coast to hire Capt. Matt Deaton to take me and Capt. Allen Heath tarpon fishing on my old boat!   Capt. Allen beat me to the rod and caught his first tarpon but did hand me off the next bite a big Neuse River bull shark.    Pics to follow

Got some great guides with open dates if you ever wanted to try and catch a NC silver king.  Drum dates are getting slim better call soon.
