    Fish Tacos

    Cube Mahi (or your favorite) into about 1 to 1-1/2" chunks and marinade in Zesty Italian dressing and powdered fajita seasoning.

    While it's marinating, I make homemade Pico De Gallo:

    1 large ripe tomato, diced

    1 large Jalapeno, chopped (remove the seeds if you want less spicyness)

    1/2 med. Red Onion, chopped

    small handful of Cilantro, chopped

    Mix above ingredients and squeez in the juice of 1/2 lime.

    I cook the fish on the grill, then serve in tortillas with refried black beans, divced avocado, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and shredded lettuce or cabbage...add salsa to taste.

    On the side, I serve refried black beans & spanish rice. Don't waste time making the spanish rice...buy Uncle Bens prepared rice...just pop the pouch in the microwave for 90 seconds & it's as good as any.

    Update....I typed this and then thought "Damn...I haven't had fish tacos in a while"

    I'm working on rectifying that situation right now! Fish Tacos for dinner. Life is good.

    Maby it will supliment my food bill

    Many years ago I had a german shepard that loved catching groundhogs, more recently I had a great dane here and he caught foxes, wake up in the morning and he would lay them at the front door.

    Frogmore stew is a low-country boil. The SC guy's I have know call it that, sort of a mix of red potatoes, sausage sometimes, shrimp, fish and whatever else. I have eaten some and it good stuff but I don't know what to do to make it.

    When I lived in Texas/Louisiana we just called it "Crawfish Boil". I've had it since I've lived in the Carolinas and Low Country Boil is essentially the same thing.

    The potatoes have to boil the longest. Let them boil in Old Bay or Tony Chachere's for about 15-20 minutes, then drop in corn on the cob, crawfish,shrimp,clams, or all three and cut up sausage. Boil for another 5 mins or so & get after it. Yum!

  9. Distress Calls - - - Simplified for New Crew

    Suggestion: For anyone that doesn't have one, the USCG auxiliary distributes decals with step by step instructions for distress calls. You can get them (free) from the USCG auxuiliary, most boat shows, and most boating stores (West Marine, etc.). As Captain, I know we all know how to make the call, but it's a great thing to have and point out to your passengers when you do your pre-trip safety briefing (I know we all do that, right?) just in case you are ever incapacitated and need someone else to make the call.

    His distress call was that he was taking on water.

    The conditions were a little sloppy, and there were alot of boats coming in the inlet from fishing the Big Rock, so swamping is a very thin outside possibility, but it was a 25' Mako, so it should have been more than sufficient for conditions (since I was on my 23' SeaFox)

    My guess woiuld be either a drain plug that didn't get put in or a thru hull failure.

    I was just looking through some pics from last summer, and I couldn't remember if I had shared these with you guys.

    My wife and I went to Morehead City for a weekend....we got there late on Friday afternoon and were going out to the stream Saturday morning, but we decided to go out a few miles that afternoon and troll for some Spanish. We were about a mile out of the inlet, and she spotted a churning bait ball, so we decided to net some menhaden and fill the livewell. There were so many, we just drifted through and used the dip net. Once I had enough, I rigged a couple of them up to see what was driving them into a ball....just then we heard a distress call from a sinking boat. I knew he was close by his description, and before he could give the CG his coordinates, he lost communication. By then we were already under way to try to assist. I called the CG with the coordinates, and within a minute or two we were pulling up to him.

    I offered to bring him aboard. His reply: "I spent my life savings on this boat five hours ago. I think I'll just sit here"

    We hung around until the CG arrived and had the situation under control.
