Moving on into August!

/in /by

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!!

Summertime is Happy time

/in /by

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 🙂

Summer fishing is fantastic!

/in /by

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!

Happy 4th!

/in /by

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 🙂

Fishing Update – Spring 2016 :)

/in /by

COBIA:  The summer is fast approaching and we are booking up quickly for the May/June Cobia season.  Due to changes made by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries and the Southeast Fisheries Management Council… the NORTH CAROLINA COBIA SEASON WILL CLOSE ON JUNE 20 TH.  We can catch and release these fish after the 20th but cannot keep them… if you are interested in booking a trip specifically for COBIA please give us a call asap – these trips are going fast and we only have a few spots left each month.  (Cobia Update: the regulations have changed again due to a ton of time and effort by a few local advocates… the COBIA season will run until September 30th with a 4 boat limit everyday for charter boats… NO CLOSURE until the end of September)

ROCKFISH:  We are currently running our Spring Sound Rock trips now as these fish are starting to show… these trips are river/sound trips and are run on our 23 foot Maycraft Center Console.  We do have a few spot
s left for these trips as well…10463931_340239066185597_6852051407409439473_n

End of the 2015 Fishing Season Wrap Up…

/in /by

It’s time again to change gears… what an incredible season we have had!  A huge thank you again to all our anglers – you truly make what we do so special.   Another enormous Thank You to Captain Richie Howell for jumping in to finish out the season while Karl was in recovery mode the last 10 days… you made it a little easier to keep him on the couch knowing you were on the bridge.  Casey – always much love and appreciation for all you do! We couldn’t do it without you 🙂  The Fistful is getting a break until after duck season – we will all be busy with the birds until the end of January.  Keep up with all the excitement through our Facebook page over the next few months and we will see everyone back on the water next season!!  Thanks again everybody!

August 2015

/in /by

Crazy that August is already here!!  Our dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing has been unreal the end of July/first of August… It’s just not suppose to happen on short day trips but our 1/2’s and 3/4’s are getting into action that normally you have to run 30 miles offshore to get.  We are so thankful when Neptune helps us out a bit and sends that warm Gulf Stream water close enough for us to get our hands (and hooks!) on these wonderful fish!  Thank you so much to all our groups!!  Friday afternoon (the 8th) just opened up if anyone is interested and we have a few spots available next week – Give us a call…Let’s go fishing!!
