Fishing in Swansboro NC

Ashley — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:56:11 +0000

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.

pool view Emerald Isle beach home

Ward Shore Builders recently finished a beautiful project on Emerald Isle in Eastern North Carolina. The project featured a pool, elevator, three story deck along with 1000 square feet of additional heated space. The homeowner chose to replace all windows in the house along with revamping all electrical and paint.

The first level of the home was below grade and a product called hydro-stop which was used to keep moisture and unwanted water out. The septic system was moved from the back yard to make room for the pool and be adjacent to the first level bedroom. L.B. Page and sons removed the tank, cut the conctete driveway and replaced the tank just inside the ocean side setback.

As the interior construction started, much detail had to be placed in running the new sewer lines embedded in the existing concrete. Once established the non-load bearing walls for the first level were placed. The second level was placed on a new concrete slab and the third level was engineered with a cantileiver to allow the elevator to drop off at the top level.

At last all siding was replaced form vinyl to hardy. The last addition was the fresh paint and the makeover was remarkable.
