Nearshore July 13

Dodging the weather and having fun at the same time!!  This water spout over Wanchese was one of several today…always impressive to watch mother nature in action.  Spanish Mackerel and Blues for this trip…. Thank you guys so much!!

Full Day Nearshore July 12

A huge congratulations to Joey and Heather on their fast approaching wedding day!! The Fistful boat was fortunate enough to dodge the weather and take the boys out for some tower action before the big day… great work on the AMBERJACKS and a quick adrenaline rush on a big fish hook up (suspected to be a nice billfish!) before he stripped most of the line and pulled off… pretty work everybody!!!  It was great to meet the family and our best wishes for an awesome time on Saturday and all the years ahead for you guys… we are so glad to know you both!! 🙂

Another mass update :)

Nearshore trips continue to be full of FUN, BLUES, MACKEREL, DOLPHIN, COBIA, and MORE!!!  We appreciate all our groups so much… Thank you all!!!

A huge congratulations to “lil”  Jimmy Horning for fighting an incredible fish for 4 hours Tuesday evening!!! What a fantastic swordfish!!  GREAT JOB KIDDO!!!!!  No small task for anyone and this young man proved once again that age has nothing to do with the ability to land an amazing catch.  Not to mention hooking a sail and a white and jumping off a blue one…. awesome day and no suprise!!!  Congratulations… we are always proud of you 🙂

Nearshore Action Continues :)

Just wanted to post a few forwarded pictures from our inshore trips this week… what a great job everybody!! Great groups make it a ton of fun!!  Thank you all so much!!!

 

 

Week long update :)

I apologize for the delay in reports… crazy busy this time of year plus the camera is currently MIA – needless to say I unfortunately do not have any NEARSHORE pictures to put up at this time 🙁  To update everyone:  the SPANISH MACKERAL bite has been incredible this week in addition to plenty of BLUEFISH providing tons of action and loads of fun!!  We have come across several COBIA as well on the nearshore trips – many making back to the dock and one heart-breaker that broke the line after an hour long fight… estimates on weight for the escapee have ranged from 80 to 100 lbs… bummer for the boys 🙁    The FULL DAY DEEP DROP/TROLLING trips have been awesome for DOLPHIN (The back up camera made it on this trip so I can post some evidence!)… several COBIA have been running with the dolphin schools and at times caught at the same time!!  Great weather and fantastic fishing have been the theme this week!!!  Trips are booking fast right now so please let us know if you have dates you want us to save… we have had several spots get booked out from under some of our groups lately that waited until the last minute – we hate to not get the chance to take everybody that wants to go!!

We had a fantastic group today!! Bluefish was the species of the day today… great work guys!! It was wonderful to meet you all… Hope to see you again soon!

June 22 Full Day

What a hard working group of young anglers (and grown-ups too!)… The dolphin are cooperating and staying close to shore – thankfully within range for a Full Day trip.  Our youngsters toughed out some sporty seas and worked like crazy to get a lot of nice fish to the boat… Fantastic job everybody!!  Thank you all so much!
