Our crowd from Louisa VA got to see fishing that is you had to be there fishing this afternoon…After setting out looking for meat in the shallow water I realized that I had to make a change.Our bites where non existant.So off we ran into the ocean to see what was happening..Shortly after crossing the bar we heard the word of a drum bite off the beach..Hard to turn down BIG FISH on a half day so we made the run to the school of fish that was quite impressive.They where hungary as well and gave us a perfect afternoon.We released 20 to 25 citation red drum in the 15 to 40 lb range on spinning tackle..I think everyone was excited to see all the pandomonium that sight casting to fish on top brings..We really enjoyed it guys and we appreciate you..

We had a great group along today from Michigan for a 6 hour trip which allowed us to head south where we found the spanish mackeral the previous day…We headed down the beach some 12 to 14 mileas to find the water we were looking for.When we did get there it was not yesterdays bite but it was still plenty of action for our crowd.They did a great job banging out a nice catch of spanish, blues , and bonitas..Thank you guys. We had a blast..

Thank you to everybody for fishing with us..If we did not get your picture up and you want to see it on the site please send me an email…Bottom line fishing was great today..We had two half days and with the fish being a little south of the half day range as they where today we are able to offer 1 to 2 extra hours for $100 per hour to make the fuel and time work out and PUT YOU IN THE MEAT…Everybody on both trips made the right call and off we went..Multiple bendos over and over in the morning when we arrived and we fished for just two hours before acheiving a limt.What great fishing..We arrived back on seen in the afternoon to find our fish were not there.After searching for an hour we ran into them and worped it in them until my boys down below said they had enough.A limit of adult beverages also met there match..Thanks again to everyone for everything..Open dates next ten days July 1st, 2nd , 3rd pm, 4 pm , 5 pm , 9 , 10

Commercial Dolphin Day

/in , /by

The weather and the schedule somehow worked out perfectly to give us a day to slip out and do a little commercial fishing.  Usually a family trip, today we took our neighbor’s friend Greg (down from PA visiting for a few days) out with us for his first adventure with dolphin fishing… little did he know how much work he was in for! (Great job btw!!) We were fortunate enough to find the bailers (although way offshore…) plus one nice citation size gaffer.  The weather was wonderful and made for a fantastic day.  Just another word of thanks to “Outer Banks Catch” for increasing public awareness of the importance and quality of our local seafood and to all the restaurants that support the commercial fishermen of the Outer Banks by purchasing truly fresh, locally caught fish…We appreciate all of you so much!

 

 

Nearshore action in full force…

/in , /by

I am trying to get a little caught up all at once!  We have been busy lately with near shore trips… so many great people from all over the country (and in some cases the world!) have been fishing with the Fistful during their vacations on the Outer Banks… the Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel bites have been great during the half-day trips and the 3/4 and full day trips have been able to venture out a little further after other species as well.  Thank you to all the individuals, families, and friends that have taken the time to go with us.. you all make the trips so enjoyable! Hope to see you again soon 🙂

Boston Mackerels

/in , /by

What a fantastic group today!! Sweeeeet Caroline… always a great time with a Boston crowd!!  The morning was full of Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel and these guys never missed a beat – even when we finished up the trip with a confused pelican that mistook a mackerel rig for brunch!  After a brief visit to the cockpit for a de-tangle and quick photo op he was sent back to his feathered buddies with advice on what not to eat… Jack, Greg, Pat – Thank you so much!  It was wonderful to meet you guys! Have a safe trip back and we’ll see you next time!

Wow we had a crazy bunch with us today…You guys are great…The beers, bloody marys, and momosas where flowing when I stopped the boat this morning…Shortly after setting out the third pole the first two where over..It was good action for us..After catching all they wanted of spanish we made our way off the beach in search of a bigger fish..We never found one but did catch a couple of Bonitas..I think everyone will agree a good time was had by all.
