September 13 Full Day Offshore

/in , /by

THIS is what fall fishing is all about!!  We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful long time friend on board today with his family and man did they pick a great day to go!! FANTASTIC weather… AWESOME fishing… UNBEATABLE company… Paul – We can’t thank you enough for your all your support… Rudy, Fred, Shawn, Brad, and Dan… so nice to meet you all!!  The beer was flowing and the fish were biting… What more could you ask for?!  The BLACKFIN hit first thing and kept everybody reeling to get these feisty guys to the boat… close to a dozen of the smaller fish went back in to grow another season but not without giving the boys a sporty fight first!  The largest went straight into the box..  And then the DOLPHIN!!! Fantastic class of bailers and hoisters with several gaffers thrown in the mix… don’t forget the two token albacore, the sharks, and the sailfish jumping around… Thank you guys for an incredible day!  Have a blast at the wedding and we hope to see you all again soon 🙂

With the inlet roaring this morning and only predicted to get more adventurous with the tide change, it was decided to stay in the sound today… Plenty of fun, sun, beautiful water and a nice class of blue fish plus some spanish mackerel to keep our main angler busy!  GREAT JOB MICHAEL!!  Thank you guys so much for a fantastic trip!!

What an awesome day!!!  The ocean was beautiful once you crossed the bar and the Fistful was able to venture out on a full day trip in search of a little meat… To have such a great group of guys on the boat when we can get into the fish like this is nothing short of a fantastic “make you feel good” day!  Limit of dolphin plus a White Marlin – WAY TO GO FELLAS!!  We can’t wait til Rock Season… looking forward to seeing you again!!!  Nathan, Justin, Chris, and David – Thank you so much for fishing with us!!!

We had a wonderful group down from PA this morning… glad you guys enjoyed the roller coaster!! 🙂 Great job getting these fish in…  The morning started with a slower bite followed by plenty of action after the tide turned with these nice blues plus several Spanish.  Hope you all enjoy the rest of your vacation, have a safe trip home, and we hope to see you again next year!  It was wonderful to meet you all!

Back in the water :)

The Fistful boat went back in the water today… we’re glad to be back home in Pirate’s Cove and VERY thankful we all made it through Irene!  Our thoughts are with all our friends and neighbors that got hit alot worse than we did and the whole gang on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands – you guys are tough.   Things are getting back to normal and days are booking up to get out there – time to go fishing!!

Hurricane Irene…bye bye :)

/in , /by

The Fistful boat is thankfully safe and sound… as are many of our fellow charter fleet friends.  We are all fortunate to have dodged a big bullet with this one… hurricanes are part of life on the water but never a welcomed part and always nerve racking!  The last several days have been filled with preparation for the storm, hauling out, getting ready, plus lots of nail biting followed by a huge sigh of relief and now putting all the pieces back together.  We are close to getting back in the water – tons of clean up and debris removal out of the canals and creeks that feed into the boat yards are part of the deal and a big thank you to everyone that has been and is working so hard to keep our livelihood afloat.  The marine industry is a very  important part of the Outer Banks and we are thankful to be a part of such a fantastic group of people… hard working and always with a positive attitude!  Our thoughts are with our neighbors that suffered alot more damage than we did and we are all fortunate that this thing didn’t do what it was forecasted to do.  The charter boats will be back in full swing in the next day or two… fishing is always awesome after these storms so don’t hesitate to get back out there!  We will be up and running as soon as the creek is clear to get out… give us a call and take a break from the crazy aftermath – let’s go fishing!

Thanks everybody for keeping her safe 🙂

The line up... ready to get back in the water 🙂
