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!!

We have had a fantastic JULY so far!!  A huge thank you to everyone! Fishing is a blast but it’s our anglers that really make the trips…. thank you so much 🙂  So far July has been filled with a mixed bag of Cobia, Amberjack, Red Drum, Spanish, Kings and Blues, Barracuda, Wahoo, Dolphin and more!  We are excited to see what mid-summer brings as we continue to roll on… we have some scattered days left in July and August is starting to book up – Give us a call… Let’s go fishing!!

We have had an unbelievably eventful winter and spring and now summer is here!  We are so proud and thankful to be able to kick off this fishing season with our newest edition – our new FISTFUL boat!  She’s a 45 foot Alex Willis (a carolina boat custom built in Harker’s Island).  We were sad to see our original girl go on to other adventures but at the same time we are super excited to have this opportunity and get this year’s fishing started!  We are running the same trips… just with more comfort and room!  The Cobia are here… we have a few days left in June open so give us a call if you are ready to go.  Can’t wait to see everyone!

This is a crazy busy time of the year as we squeeze preparations into every time slot we can in order to get ready for the upcoming waterfowl season.  It’s about that time to switch gears again.. We are booking days for the upcoming waterfowl season and spots are filling fast… just a reminder to everyone to give us a call if you are interested in saving dates for 2014-2015… We are looking forward to another great year! We’ve missed everybody!  (For those of us who aren’t quite ready to finish fishing yet this year… we have days still open until the second week of October… )
