An unfortunate incident happened on the Outer Banks over Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The weather was absolutely beautiful, following a very cold, rough December. Fishermen by the droves came down to the beach for a relaxing weekend of Striped Bass fishing (rockfish for us). We have finally had good rock fishing for the first time in years, due to the cold conditions we have all been experiencing (must be global warming), and everybody was excited to catch some fish.
