  3. I am purchasing a Nautic Star 2102 Legacy in the next couple of weeks. It is coming with a new Yamaha 150, trim tabs, Garmin gps, and offshore radio. I plan to fish and frequent the Ocean Isle Beach area and was wondering if anyone could assist with some good fishing spots that are within a reasonable distance from shore. Kind of new to this so any advise or assistance is greatly appreciated. I would love to fish wrecks including trolling or bottom fishing and would love advise on locations and gear I should be making available. Thanks in advance for any assistance. The boat is 21' in length, has a 13" draft, 19 degree deadrise at the transom, 25" transom height, 42 degree deadrise at entry, 75 gallon fuel capacity, and weighs around 2600 lbs with all gear. How far could I safely venture out and what is within reach with a boat with these spec's?

Others come to experience the adventure of Florida fishing and build their confidence while pursuing the sport. For this event, held in conjunction with support from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, women will travel from several states for an exciting weekend of educational and hands-on fishing activities, habitat conservation and to meet other female anglers. The University provides an opportunity for the ladies to use their newly acquired techniques to fish inshore or offshore on their choice of a group boat, flats boat or sportfishing boat.
