You probably havenโ€™t seen this due to the National Weather Service outage, but the Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been extended to include all of Eastern/ Coastal NC until 10PM. The main risk is scattered strong-to-severe storms with damaging winds and some hail. The Watch to the west remains in effect for Central and Western NC until 8PM.

Iโ€™ll continue to do my best to provide updates with the limited information we have from the National Weather Service until further notice due to a widespread warning and watch outage.

While the boats are offshore chasing the King, weโ€™ll have plenty of fishing action happening right here on the pier. ๐ŸŸ

And to celebrate 40 years, weโ€™ll be tie-dyeing special Captain Charlieโ€™s 40th Anniversary shirts! Each kid can add their own splash of color and create a one-of-a-kind keepsake from this yearโ€™s tournament.

Bring your fishing pole, bring your best fish story, and come see what you can reel in!
