Congrats are in order for Tarboro’s Patrick Overstreet, Ray Whitehurst, and Beth Skipper for a strong 2nd place showing in the recent Raleigh Saltwater Sportfishing Club’s 28th King Mackerel Tournament in Morehead City. Howard Patton of Littleton, NC rounded out the winning crew of four.
The team and boat name is “Service Call,” which is very appropriate because Patrick works for the family owned business, Overstreet Heating and Air Conditioning. Service Call is a sleek 32-foot Yellowfin, with twin 350 Yamaha 4-stroke engines.
Sixty-eight boats competed for over $100,000 in cash and prizes. Service Call caught 3 fish, and the largest qualifying fish measured 49-inches, and weighed-in at 42.54-pounds for Second Place Open Division prize money of $5,389. First Place fish was 43-pounds even, so Service Call was less than a half-pound off from the tournament winner. Beth Skipper added to Service Call’s winnings with her $300 First Place Lady Angler Prize.
The wind was blowing 15-20 knots out of the southwest with 4-6 foot seas.

I love smoked king. Don't get it as often as I would like but one of the local fish markets has one of the employees that does a good job with it. In my opinion it makes the best smoked fish, just oily enough.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to do a fair job on it myself.
Talking slow smoking, not cheating with hot smoke. Think Outers little chief. .
