The Outer Banks is a well-known fishing destination…world-class even! Here’s a quick recap of some recent OBX fishing excitement…
- Voted #1 marlin fishing by Marlin Magazine
- Named best US fishing destination by Salt Water Sportsman editor-at-large
- Named #1 US fishing spot by Big Canoe
- Two NC state records for rock fish set in 2011
- NC state record 805 pound blue fin tuna caught two weeks ago
- Two OBX Guinness World Record Attempts in July 2011
The most recent thrill for OBX fishing is a great writeup in the outstanding Sport Fishing Magazine, and to add to the thrill for Seaside Vacations, we have some close ties to the article.
The article highlights local charter boat captain Aaron Kelly and his skilled fish hunting abilities. The writer and photographer tagged along with Aaron on a charter trip out of Oregon Inlet on the prowl for cobia, and it goes into detail about Aaron’s skills as a skipper. Needless to say, the day trip was a success with some big cobia catches…and some great photos. The article is a great read for OBX fishing enthusiasts.
And the tie-in to Seaside Vacations? Well, to begin, Aaron and his crew of captains at Rock Solid Fishing are partners for the Outer Banks Fishing 101 Club Seaside event that is offered to Seaside Vacations guests. So we are very proud to have the Rock Solid as a partner, and excited to offer great Outer Banks fishing information to our guests from one of the Outer Banks’ best skippers.
But the article hits home even closer. That dashingly handsome fella holding the giant cobia in the amazing picture below is none other than Seaside Vacations owner Gordon Jones. Nice catch Gordon!…I’m sure Aaron was just there for moral support.
Huge congrats to Rock Solid Fishing for the great coverage!
