Sorry about the report delay… This time of the year we spend alot of time running around between the beach, the woods, swamp, timber, open water locations… and the list goes on!! Jimmy… congratulations on a fine hunt!! Crazy action in the timber requires great shooting – fantastic job!! Jim and Jamie… always a blast!! (I can’t believe I missed the steak dinner… again!!) Thank you so much..See you guys soon!! 
As Duck Season draws closer… the repair work from Irene is finally winding down… Trees to clear out of the swamps and blinds to be rebuilt – all in a day’s work! Saturday is the big day and we are all looking forward to a great season! Tons of ducks around already and the winds are turning out of the North… a true sign of things to come!
Fishing reports are usually a little slim from the Fistful boat this time of year as we switch gears for the upcoming Duck Season (opens November 12!!). We are still running trips both nearshore and offshore as we prepare for the Ducks… Fall is an awesome time to go!! As for the waterfowl… we are watching the migration and there are great reports from up north pertaining to this year’s hatch… the ducks are on the move!! We have a some scattered openings left with Karl plus several days available to put you with partnering guides… flooded timber, marsh, open water, you name it – it’s a blast!!
It’s never too early to start thinking about the upcoming rockfish season… it’ll be here before we know it!! We’ll be watching this year’s migration as the fall progresses… hopefully these impressive fish will show up a little early – just like last year! Typically we start to see them around the first of the year… it was December in 2010 so you never know… We are saving dates for folks already – anyone interested please let us know so we can put you on the calender!!
The summer crowds may be thinning out but this time of year fishing is still going strong! We had a great bunch on the boat today to enjoy some light tackle nearshore action… Great weather and fiesty fish makes for a ton of fun!! Thank you all so much!!
Thanks for the pictures and thanks again for fishing with us!! You guys are awesome…Hope to see you all again soon!!
Beautiful fall weather and an awesome crew… what more could you ask for? How ’bout an October White Marlin???!! Congratulations!!! The first salt water fish ever for one of our anglers!! You go girl!!! 🙂 Several dolphin also landed in the box for some yummy meals… What a nice day. Jason, John, Katie, and Lora… It was so nice to meet you all! Thank you so much for fishing with us. If you get a minute to send me the pictures I’d love to post them!! (info@fistfulsportfishing.com or k.dornblaser@hotmail.com) Thanks again!!
Reports have been slim the last week due to a last minute trip to kick off the up-coming duck season… what a blast!! I’ll post pictures from the trip as soon as I get them loaded… hopefully the pictures will relieve everybody as much as it did us to see the number of ducks in their first leg of the migration – unbelievable action in an absolutely great location with good friends and fellow hunters at the X!!! (ha!) Happy to see we had a great hatch of ducks this year and very thankful for all the good lord has given us..The outdoors in any venture is something to be respected, valued, and appreciated. Don’t forget that the most important thing is experiencing what is right in front of you and we like it when they are right in front of you…The truest form..
We did make it back just in time for Karl to get out with Jim and Jimmy for a little short season timber action this morning… we are always so thankful to get to spend time with good friends… no matter where we are! Jimmy marched through the swamp like a pro with Dad tracking close behind and worked hard to bag this beautiful pair of Wood Ducks… the drake was in full plumage – what a gorgeous sight to see! Nice work!!! Awesome way to kick off the 2011/2012 season kiddo… Congratulations!!!!!
We had a trip booked for today that fell thru at the last minute..With all our gear ready to go and the boat iced up we decided to try and make a days pay out of it regardless.We were rewarded nicely.We set out in them right away and had constant bites all day long.We did have a couple of quads on the yellowfin and lots of doubles.The blackfins bit well for us as well.Its about as good as it gets for tuna fishing as of late.Glad for it and happy everyone is experiencing great action…
