We have a handful of days left for the spring turkey season 2012..Just wanted to post a few pictures from last year..Also the sound striped bass fishing is great right now and we have time available during the weekdays.
It sounds a little silly to say “almost here” with the wonderful weather we have had this winter. Early spring is proving to shape up just as nice!! The sound rockfish are biting and it’s a fantastic excuse to get the whole family out on the water… 4 year old daughter Abbie has been practicing hard and has now mastered casting a spinning reel… She is moving on to tell Karl exactly where to go to find the fish these days!! 🙂 Don’t forget…Spring Turkey season is right around the corner… less than a month away! This is yet another favorite time of the year – a wonderful time to be on the boat and in the woods! Looking for to seeing everybody this spring!!!
Looks like the fish are going to stay to the north this year with the crazy (yet wonderful) warm weather! We are still watching the schools… let us know if there is any interest before they head back out of range 🙂
Its no secret that NC has the best swan hunting wintering grounds in the lower 48..Five thousand permits per year are issued.It is quite beautiful to watch these graceful flyers decoy..We are even lucky enough to kill a few snow geese while we hunt them some days..Albemarle Outfitters still has 100% success on swan hunts every year and we still offer no kill no pay hunts for swan..Here are some pics from this years swan hunts.Notice the one picture with the swan flying in the background..
Well… another season has come and gone… what a crazy time of the year but we sure hate to see it go!! This season proved to be a challenging one due to Mother Nature – 70 degree days, crazy southern winds… you just never know! Karl worked triple overtime to make sure the best opportunities were presented and it payed off… we had a fantastic season with simply incredible guys.. a huge thank you to everyone this year… you are what makes this profession so special! We are fortunate to have all of you 🙂 
Despite the warm weather the hunting has been good!! It requires alot more homework, scouting, very little sleep, and careful reading of the ducks’ “plan” but all the hard work pays off… and the cold weather is coming!! We have been so fortunate to have several fantastic groups with us as usual… we appreciate all the support and always have a ball with all you guys! Thank you so much everybody 🙂 We are looking forward to continuing another great season and we’ll get more pictures posted when the season is over! (Not to switch gears yet but… we’re also keeping an eye on the Rockfish situation – looks like they have arrived at Rudee Inlet and are moving this way… gettin close to that time of the year when we get back on the water!)
Thank you so much to everyone for an awesome start to this year’s season!! We appreciate you all so much and are eagerly awaiting the next opening day… It’s almost here!!
We had up and down weather all season long…We did have a couple of good charges of ducks come down from the north and made for decent hunting the last week of the split season..We ended the week with a couple of great days of hunting..Il post some pictures later today .
No hunting in NC on Sunday… so what else should you do but GO FISHING!! We had a great crowd today… Ron, Donna, and family…. Thank you so much!! These guys (and gals!) put in a full day’s work to bring home dinner today… the bite was an am event and they did a fantastic job getting these fish to the boat… don’t forget the heart-breakers right at the transom, a couple of heavy bites hit and gone, and two sneaky fast yellowfins that criss-crossed to break the lines!! It was wonderful to meet you all and looking forward to next time!!! Great job and have a safe trip home! 🙂 (Donna… Let us know how the whales and hot-air balloons go!!! )
This week has been busy in the woods and on the water… the rut has been in for a bit and the ducks are starting to show!! We were fortunate to have a long time friend with us this week… Thank you so much Dan! Once again you’ll be the favorite neighbor back home at cookout time!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… you have all been through so much – we are so thankful to know Jake is on the road to recovery! See you soon 🙂
