We've been hitting up Morehead/Atlantic Beach forever, and our day out with Daniel tops the list. Did a bit of inshore fishing, hit up some spots in the bigger water, and not only did we snag some fish, but he also gave us the lowdown on the area and its cool waters. Definitely booking him again next time we swing by.
