Chasing fish in one of North Carolina’s most remote locations, Cape Lookout National Seashore. We spent the weekend camping, surfing, fishing, and dealing with a lot of tropical weather! - - Coming next week is the release of our mini-documentary showing an adventure to Cape Lookout full of fun activities as well as the raw and exposed reality of being on the island. Stay tuned! #KalineCrew capelookoutnps ncoutdoorrec ourstatemag visitnc
