Well, with the ECU football and the UNC balloon-ball, we probably won't agree on much, but 'drinking straight bourbon - - - - we can definitely agree on that!!! Welcome!

I usually don’t put any personal information on the web but I've been on the board long enough (2 or more years) I guess I will introduce myself.
Name: Mark
Location: Beaufort county S.C.
Occupation: Q-C manager/inspector for a weld shop, I only work to be able to afford to fish but work sometimes gets in my way. Problem is I know guys that fish all the time and I know guys that drink all the time and neither is getting rich, if I could just figure a way to do both and make money at it I’d have it made.
Married: with a daughter soon to be 4 that is an aspiring fisher-girl
Hobbies: Carolina Panthers Football, saltwater fishing with my wife, chasing and amusing my daughter, taking care of my wife, boating with them and of coarse drinking beer as my beverage of choice when I can.
Fishing habits: Inshore/near shore/offshore fishing, mainly fishing for what ever I can get deep shallow big or small.
Boat: Just sold a bay boat and I’m in the process of buying a 25 ft walk-around with twin Yamahas

Personal: I love spending time with my family in the outdoors. Moved to NC in 2005 after growing up in Florida. I road bike (bicycle) for my health, I mountain bike for fun, hike and backpack to get away, but I love being on the water either in my boat or kayaks.
Fishing - for me it is best pulling bait in the Keys. I love the Florida Keys for all it offers from fish to exploring. Dolphin, wahoo and tuna are fish of choice.
We own a 2008 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a Yammaha F250. I also have a Carolina Skiff with Yammaha F25 and 10 kayaks from sea touring kayaks, sit on tops, a couple of white water boats and a surf boat for the beach...love the water...
