Had David Purinai down today for some light tackle sound rockfishing.. Consistent action for us all day..Glad for the beautiful weather and good fishing. .Back to the lodge now for cocktails and fresh rock…We will be after them again tomorrow. .
Another sure sign of spring…. time in the yard!! The Fistful is up and the boys are hard at work prepping for the fast approaching Summer season. A fresh coat of bottom paint, barrels of elbow grease, lots of love and tons of wax 🙂 We’ll spend a couple of weeks again in Hatteras this year beginning May 12th – Days are filling fast so anyone interested in fishing out of Hatteras please let us know as soon as possible!
As the commercial Bluefin season winds down we are gearing up for Spring Turkey and then on to the Summer Fishing Season!!!! Tons of excitement already this year starting with the close of an awesome waterfowl season (Thanks again to everybody! We miss you all already!! 😥 ), continued work on the farms to get ready for next year, great sound rockfish trips, the quickly approaching spring and all the fun that season brings, and then of course – summertime! It’ll be here before we know it 🙂 A few pics from yesterday’s outing with Karl, Casey and Russell… pretty work fellas!
The word of the day is DUCKS!! Things have been busy busy the last 2 months… never-ending prep work and upkeep to get ready for the big season bearing down on us Saturday (it’s almost here!), the short season (a HUGE thank you to our early crowd… always a blast!), and trips out to the central flyway. One of the highlights of our year is to start the season by heading out west to see lots of great old friends and make fantastic new ones… A part of the country where the scenery is breath taking, the duck activity unbelievable, and the people incredible. A piece of true America…Faith, Family, and Community are forefront and the friends are priceless. We are always so thankful to get back there and spend some time. And now back to business….We’re geared up and ready to get to it this season! The weather is ducky and the birds are flying… can’t wait to see everyone!
Just a quick update… we are neck deep in duck season so pictures will be a bit scarce until the end of January 🙂 A big thank you to everyone so far and the best is yet to come!! We can’t wait to see everyone this season!! We did manage to sneak out for an offshore trip on Sunday… teaming up with Rigged Up and getting into the wahoo and tiles! Great job to Martin and Chris… a bit sporty out there but well worth all the effort – Pretty Work guys!! Thank you Charles..Awesome Trip!!!
Unreal day outside for us our short duck season started today we had a nice hunt this morning consisting of wood ducks..Then we had an afternoon fishing trip and had a great catch of bluefish and a 77 lb Cobia and pulled off another fatty.To finish the day my guys from this a.m duck hunt wanted to dove hunt and they clobbered the doves..Thanks to everybody from Asheboro to Baltimore M.D. to Wisconsin..Great day..Hunt pics to follow.
Looking back to September 28 in my memory bank of photos thinking about a change of seasons I thought this would sum up the day to the date. This was going to be September 28 2011 after a front much like this one..
Variety sums up our catch yesterday..little bit of everything.Thanks guys I had a blast..
