   ...in May. Always been our rule of thunb.

   Steve Garrett on the Gambler, out of Hatteras Harbor, always puts fish in the boat.

   I like the Carolinian, big, comfortable and the captain knows how to catch fish. April has always been kind of questionable for getting offshore -- lots of wind! May has always produced a lot of yellowfin.

   I think you'll do better for mahi mahi out of Hatteras in May and June. We just never seemed to find the numbers of them out of OI although others do.
