The recent re-power with Cat C 12 engines and Twin Discs transmissions have provided additional comfort, less engine noise, and Caterpillar’s latest engine management soft ware (ADAM 3) excels with smooth, quiet, acceleration and considerably less smoke. This translates to a 30 knot cruise with a top speed of35 to 36 knots, if there’s a hot bite going on, I can get you there.

Items you should bring on your North Carolina fishing trip.

Bring a cooler for food and drinks. Ask your North Carolina charter boat Captain how large of a cooler you will need to carry your fish home in. Ask what you can keep and even where you can have your fish cleaned.	A sports bag is a good idea to bring for carrying your rain gear, hat, glasses etc and other personal items that you need on a saltwater charter fishing trip.
Bring all your food and drinks. If you want to bring beer you should clear it with the North Carolina charter boat Captain first. Alcoholic beverages are ALLOWED.	If you will be fishing in foul or rainy weather then you may want to bring some gear to keep you dry. Not as important on boats with parlors, cabins, and covers.
Bring sun glasses. Preferably polarized fishing glasses to lessen the sun’s glare that reflects up off the water. North Carolina fishing means you must take measures to combat the suns rays.	Bring a camera to take snapshots of those big fish you catch or bring a video camera and catch all the action that a North Carolina fishing trip offers.A hat or ball cap is a good idea, especially for you guys that are getting a bit thin on top. Protect your head from the North Carolina sun’s burning rays.
A hat or ball cap is a good idea, especially for you guys that are getting a bit thin on top. Protect your head from the North Carolina sun’s burning rays.	If you get sea sick or aren’t sure if you get sea sick then it is a very wise idea to take your Dramamine before you leave the dock. Nothing can ruin a fishing trip worse than a guy named “RALPH”.
The North Carolina fishing region can get very hot during the summer. Make sure you bring sunvareen, especially if you easily burn. If you are burnt up you can’t enjoy your North Carolina charter fishing trip.	You probably already paid for the trip but you should make sure you have some cash in pocket so you can tip the First Mate. Being Mate on a charter boat is not easy work and these guys deserve every dime they get.Tip them well!
