Hi guys. I'm new to the area and have a few questions. I'm originally from SW Florida and grew up fishing the Gulf of Mexico. My wife and two year old son are my fishing partners on our 2001 234 Cobia CC with a 200HDPI pushing it. We love love love to fish however we've been getting skunked! I've launched out of both Fort Macon and a Emerald Isles which leads me to my first question...
Which inlet is better to get offshore and how the heck do I comfortably get out through them? I have been unable to get offshore because both inlets are "sporty" to say the least and seas offshore have been rough. I've been watching the NOAA marine forecast and the forecast is always the same "SW 10-15 kts seas 2-4ft". Thus leading to my next question...
Is it' always this rough offshore? I really want to get into offshore fishing however I can't fish offshore if I can't get out.
Finally, is my boat not suitable for offshore in this area or am I stuck fishing inshore? I don't want to go out to the gulf stream (One Engine) however I would love to get out to some of the near shore wrecks.
Thanks
