Hogsnapper

Sold    Hogsnapper

This is my new favorite fish because of it's beautiful  coloration and the three dorsal spines.The Hogfish is very unusual in that it is protogynous, that is, it begins life as female and changes later to male.  The really large fish are probably male.  The Hogsnapper is a flavorful fish and can be found off the coast of North Carolina as well as other fishing spots.

Sailing At Oak Island

This is from a photo that I took last week at the beach from our back deck.  There were so many boats out in the water that day, most of them were fishing boats, but when I saw this sailboat approaching I really wanted a picture of it. It was quite large which is hard to tell from the painting. My friends who have owned boats still say the two best days are the day you buy the boat and the day you sell it.
