Weekend Beach Time

We went to the beach for the weekend a couple of weekends ago.  Mainly to go down and attend a class / comedy show by Capt. Jimmy Price.  He does several fund raising events to provide Christmas presents for under privileged children in the Oak Island area.  You can check out his website and some of the other things that he does here: http://www.topdoginc.org/. 

One of the crazy things about his class was that we were sitting next to a older gentleman that we started talking to.  As it turns out, it was Don Betts of Betts, Inc.  Such as Betts cast nets, Billy Bay Shrimp.  THAT Don Betts.  The only way we found out that is who it was is that one of the captains that was presenting mentioned his name during his presentation.  Also, Capt. Jimmy Price thanked him as he donated a good amount of items that were used as door prizes.  Grown Dawg was asking Mr. Betts about some of the different cast nets and the best ones to use and if the larger nets, such as 8-10 foot nets were hard to throw.  Mr. Betts offered to send us a DVD of  'How to Throw a Cast Net' which we received later in the week!  He is definitely a man of his word.

We also did some fishing from the shore / docks in the backwater, but with no success.  It was colder than expected and the tides were pretty extreme.  We didn't even see any fish, much less catch any.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
