The town of Swansboro held it annual mullet festival. The weather cooperated for the event being held in its 55th year. The streets were filled with people, tents, food and activities. The music could be heard from blocks and the intracoastal waterway filled with boats.

The festival started over fifty years ago as a celebration for the bridge across the white oak river. At the festival you can order mullet grilled, fried, smoked, stewed etc. and see tons of arts and crafts. Although rain drops were felt throughout the weekend, they did not keep local or tourists form enjoying parade, bands, dancing and food. This years festival proved to be yet another success.

If you have traveled across the bridges that link Onslow and Carteret county lately you may have noticed all the boats that are anchored. These fishermen are gathered in the fall tradition of spot fishing. The weather has participated by bringing fall temperatures in and allowing everyone to have fall fever. Meanwhile, the trout are being pursued by fishermen in creeks and inlets. These hobbyists are trying to find the right spot before the local trout tournament. It has become an adventure for boats traveling along the Intracoastal Waterway to maneuver around the local boats searching for the much sought after spots.

These fall temperatures not only increase the fish, but also the sales at the local marinas — Dudley’s Marina and Casper’s Marina. Half of the fun in visiting these marinas is to shop, while the rest is in hearing and participating in the fish tales. If you get a chance to visit our wonderful and quaint seaside village, don’t forget your fishing poles.
