Local Fishing Team finds bottle on beach. Message of hope, love and longing
Finding a message in a bottle washed ashore is a rare find, but what the Outer Banks all girls fishing team Looney Tunes found was more than just a bottle with a message in it. Kip Tabb, writing for the Outer Banks Voice tells a heartfelt story of love, loss and hope.

“The wind was howling out of the northeast with low clouds spitting rain that weekend in mid-September. There really wasn’t much chance of catching any fish, but that didn’t stop Dana Hedgepath, Tricia Bonday and Kelly Bergenstock from trying.
“We have an all-girls fishing team called the Looney Tunas, and two of the girls I fish with all the time, Dana and Trish, were like, ‘hey, we’d love to catch puppy drum,’” Bergenstock recalls. The girls tried a couple of different locations, finally ending up in Nags Head with no luck.”
