Waterfowl season is here and we will be chasing birds until the end of January! We had a fantastic kick off to the season with our trip out west – so much fun with friends and family and always awesome to catch up with our “extended” families out there. Now it’s home season time and just as much fun here with everyone… we look so forward to this time of year 🙂 Fishing will crank back up in February!
The last 2 weeks have been full of great fishing and amazing charters! We have had a number of young anglers lately and what an impressive display of ability and enthusiasm from all of them – Every one of our kids jumped right into the fray and man… you can’t slow them down. Some are new to the game and some are already well on their way to becoming pros (B. Boys – you know who you are!!) – Awesome job everybody!! One of our goals is to create an experience for them (and their adults) that will turn into a life-long passion… it really gets your heart fired up to see that spark. Thank you so much to all our groups – Grown-Ups and Youngsters! *** A huge Thank You goes out to Capt. Jim on the HogWild and Capt. Troy on the Fowl Hooked for helping us juggle some of our groups during our unexpected quickie haul out and to all the gang down at Bluewater for pulling together and getting us up and running again – JP – we owe you… as usual!! Thank you so much…. I wish I could have seen you on that lift!! ***
Last but not least – we do have some days open for the next few weeks – the Fistful gets a break starting September 17th this year so let us know if you want to get out there before we turn to the ducks! The Billfish are starting to show… the dolphin are here on the Full Day trips… the Big Drum are hanging around… the Mackerel are snappin… the blues are snappin…the Jacks are snappin… the weather is beautiful… Let’s go Fishing!!
Fishing continues to be awesome!! Variety is still the theme song for this week… Dolphin, Moons, Triggers, Albecore, Tiles, Mackerels, Blues, Jacks, and one of our all time favs…. it’s it’s it’s the Drum!! Every trip is different and we are so thankful for the wonderful weather and fantastic groups! Some of our fine young anglers were able to get into the big Red Drum for some catch and release action and we hope their experience was one to keep them addicted for life! We stumbled across a few lost Mahi that wondered in close to beach and were able to land them on a short trip – it doesn’t happen often at all but super cool when it does. Tons of nearshore action continues with the Spanish, Blues, and Moons… smaller fish that are so much fun! A huge thank you to Corey of the Corey Schaible Gallery for diving in and snapping an amazing pic of the Fistful on a full day trip… fitting to have the Amberjack on the way up in the shot! Thank you so much. And a major shout out to all the gang at the PC Fish Cleaning House – you do an amazing job and everybody remember – DFTTYFC!! 🙂 Lastly – this coming week is the 33rd annual Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament – a huge amount of activity will be happening all week up and down the docks – come see the boats and the fish and join in the fun! Let’s go fishing!!
One of the really cool things about moving into later summer fishing is the huge variety of fish and the constant change from day to day… you never know what you are going to catch! We have had some phenomenal action and we can’t say enough about our groups – once again… YOU make our jobs so fun!! Great folks and good times is what it is all about – thank you so much everybody! Dawn – the pictures are great! (Thank you!!) Big Jack – We can’t thank you enough for everything you do for us 🙂 We have some spots still available for the next week… let’s go fishing!!
In broken record fashion – the fishing continues to be fantastic! A tremendous buffet the past 10 days – Mahi, Amberjack, Triggers, Tiles, Spanish, Blues, Lookdowns, Ribbons, Red Drum, and a rare “Just off the beach” Sail!! We even got to throw in a quick family Shrimp trip to polish it all off. We couldn’t ask for better – both in our fishing and in our groups. Thank you so much to everyone! Every trip is different… We are really looking forward to see what the next few weeks bring – never a dull moment… Let’s go fishing!
Compliments of our fish cleaner extraordinaire – Thanks Matt! Cool Pic – Amazing job as always 🙂
As we roll on with our summer season the fishing continues to be so exciting! The king mackerel have shown up, the big red drum are here, our amberjacks are still super spunky and the dolphin are moving in! Don’t forget about the Spanish and Blues – smaller fish and so much action and fun! (not to mention delicious!) Several of our local youngsters (including our little angler) participated in the annual Pirate’s Cove Small Fry tournament (Thank you Troy for taking the gang and Awesome work Nikki for a fantastic turn out!) and caught Spanish, Blues, Croaker, Spot, Spade fish, and more… keeping the kids into it is so important and we are very proud to be part of a community that supports our industry and our passion. We have some openings left next week for a few 4 hour trips and (1) 6 hour trip – give us a call… let’s go fishing!
Unbelievable that it is already July! A great time to stop and remember what a privilege it is to live in a free country and appreciate all the sacrifices that so many have made and continue to make in order to make what we do possible. The summer is in full swing and the fishing continues to be awesome – fantastic variety! Our weather was a little sporty for a couple of days but that didn’t slow anything down – dolphin, jacks, mackerel , blues, triggers, cobia, a barracuda, a sail, and more… Thank you so much to all our groups – you make our days!
** Just a quick scheduling note – we have been filling up quickly…please call or email as soon as you can to save a day if you are interested in getting out there – thank you! **

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone! This is the official kick off to our summer season and we are so happy to be back at it! We are in full swing after some weather days last week and the fishing has been awesome. Our Cobia season is now open until September 30th with a 4 fish boat limit everyday (A huge thank you to a few local heroes for their enormous time and effort in fighting to stop the season closure)… the dolphin have been snapping and the Cobia are showing… we even got into a nice Spanish bite on a quickie fun family trip late one afternoon (plus the kiddo’s first nice Cobia… Thank you Casey and Louie!!). Thanks so much to all our early groups for cranking up the season start with a ton of fun and great fish!! June is filling fast so give us a shout… let’s go fishing 🙂
