A Year Ago...From a Sea Far Far Away...

About this time last year, I was living it up in Hatteras with a few of my buddies for the Bachelor Party. I didn't want the typical T&A get drunk party...a memorable event that I could actually recall later in life would be more suitable. After careful deliberation, and consulting with da boyz...I decided we needed to do an epic meat trip. This wouldn't be fishing. This would be catching. Everyone would get to fish, and head home at the end of the weekend with a full cooler. How could we be so sure that we would come back home with full coolers? Brian Patteson opened up his home and his fishing vessel, The Stormy Petrel II, and had reported a great triggerfish bite, and a so-so mahi mahi bite. He wasn't lying.... To check out his trip report scroll down to the June 19/20 entry. Thanks to all who made D-Bag Charters Bachelor Party Weekend happen. It was a perfect send off to meeting my bride in Newfoundland. I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
