Fall Drum

We gathered up our buddy Mike and slipped down to Oriental, NC to get in on the drum bite with a great friend and fellow charter captain Richard Andrews of Tar-Pam Guide Service… Thanks Dickie!!!!!  What a blast!! Double digit catch and release action with several close to 50 inches!!!  Fall is the time to capitalize on these awesome fish… fantastic fun and wonderful weather always come together this time of year to create an incredible experience… don’t miss out – these fish won’t stick around long! 

Bluewings

This day my good friend Paul Boyce and my dad joyned me for an early season teal hunt..There had been some birds around but we werent quite sure how it would go…We ended up with a great hunt and a great way to start the 2012-2013 waterfowl season…We are booking duck hunts now so please give us a call…  252-395-1907

Update :)

The Fistful has continued to chase the Spanish, Blues, and other nearshore species with some fantastic folks this week…. lots of fun and great fishing for everyone!  A big thank you to all our groups!!  We did have a day off at the end of the week and were fortunate enough to be able to go Offshore with an awesome friend and fellow hunter/angler to get into a little Marlin action!  Thank you so much Mike!!!!!  What a great day!

Great nearshore action continues :)

The summer is winding down but not the fishing!!  Another fantastic week with wonderful groups… Thank you all so much!!!

Nearshore August 20

More off the charts action!!!  What a nice class of fish! 🙂  We had a fantastic group today that did an amazing job getting these fish to the boat… pretty work everyone!!!! 

Continued prep…

Although the fishing remains awesome… another season is fast approaching!  Plenty of work to keep up with after the boat hits the dock in the afternoons… it’s that time of year to be thinking about this winter’s schedule and getting dates firmed up for the ducks 🙂

Update :)

The fishing continues to hold strong… great Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish close to the beach plus we’ve had several days when the Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Amberjack, and other larger species have been close enough to get to on our 3/4 (6 hour) trips!!!  If anyone has any pictures to share please send them to me and I’ll get them posted.  Thank you to all our groups this week!!

Nearshore Aug 13

Back to the beach today with a fantastic near-shore crew…. Thank you all so much!!  A great day for Spanish and Blues… Our crowd did an awesome job bringing in dinner!!

Alice Kelly :)

We took a break from the near-shore scene and headed offshore with the rest of the fleet and private boats to participate in the Alice Kelly benefit tournament today… always a great time!!  Tons of fun and supporting a great cause all at one go 🙂  Thanks to Tiffany, Holly, and Shanna for joining us to participate in this all women’s tournament!!  We didn’t get into the billfish bite like we were hoping to but in true Fistful style brought in some meat and had a ball!!  The Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament is going on all week… everyone is always welcome to come down, walk the docks, and be a part of this annual event!!
