Epic Day in NC...
Tag a Giant is back in Hatteras, North Carolina and the fishing harkens back to days of yore. Captain Dale Britt led an experienced crew to the Gulf Stream. The steam rising off the water showed the 30 degree temperature break and lures hit the water by 6:30. By 10:00 the team had 9 fish tagged and we weren't done yet. By the end of the day 12 archival tags had been deployed in addition to two conventional tags. It was a beautiful day on the water.
