You will enjoy the water sports of the coastal NC. I suggest you also try your hand at shrimping with a cast net. It takes a minute to learn but in the end you will have lots of fun and shrimp to boot. Suggestion, get to your spot early while its still light out. For they fill up very fast as dusk approaches.

You will enjoy the hunting too, not sure what your fancy is, but deer hunting is good. Not as big as your use to back home, but that is why you can shoot more of them. Try the Croatan National forrest or see about hunting on base at Cherry Point or Camp Lejeune. A bit of a drive, but you can hunt on base on Sunday, where back in the day when I was there you could not hunt on Sundays anywhere else in NC.

I agree with Rook in Kansas... GO down to Camp Lejeune or even New RIver Air Station. There's plenty of deer (esp. on the Air Base) and there's stands all ready to go. That's where I used to hunt when I was in the Marines. You're in a great place for deer and bear and awesome fishing. Take advange of it! Oh Yeah, Welcome!
