July 23

Nice work everybody!!  We had a longer trip today which allowed us a little more time to cover more ground… Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and even a Dolphin!  Thank you so much for making the drive to come fish with us!  You guys are awesome and we hope to see you again soon!

July 19 Full Day

The Fistful ventured offshore today! Tuna, Dolphin, and 2 Sailfish bites… Pretty work fellas!! Always a blast Q!

July 16th

The bluefish continue to dominate the nearshore waters surrounding the inlet for our half days..Multiple fish on at the time are common problems and lots of action for all of our anglers..What they lack in size they make up for in  rod bending action which is great for kids of all ages..A half day is about getting out on the water, enjoying the beauty of the ocean and the outer banks..Its not about catching blue marlins , tunas , and mahi.Its about good times with friends and family..Thats what we like to see..

Offshore pics…

Our friend Greg sent some pictures he took on an offshore trip we did a few weeks ago… Thank you Greg!  The near-shore action has been great this week… I’ll get some more reports up as soon as I have those pics… Thank you so much to all the great folks that have been fishing with us!

 

 

  

July 11 AM

We had a nice group from western North Carolina for a 3/4 day today… the warm water pushed in towards the beach to form a nice condition just outside of the inlet and these guys elected to head out to it and try the dolphin… it was a good decision!  It’s a great feeling to find a species so close to the beach that you normally have to make a much longer run to…  Pretty work fellas!  Thank you so much for a great trip!

July 2nd

Great nearshore action continues up and down the beach..Bluefish and spanish mackeral make up most of the catches with a drum here and there and an occasional cobia and shark appearance.Great family fun and its super easy to enjoy..Here are a few more drum pics.

June 29th report

Man we have been on a roll lately fishing everyday.. Thank you to everybody for fishing with us..If we did not get your picture up and you want to see it on the site please send me an email…Bottom line fishing was great today..We had two half days and with the fish being a little south of the half day range as they where today we are able to offer 1 to 2 extra hours for $100 per hour to make the fuel and time work out and PUT YOU IN THE MEAT…Everybody on both trips made the right call and off we went..Multiple bendos over and over in the morning when we arrived and we fished for just two hours before acheiving a limt.What great fishing..We arrived back on seen in the afternoon to find our fish were not there.After searching for an hour we ran into them and worped it in them until my boys down below said they had enough.A limit of adult beverages also met there match..Thanks again to everyone for everything..Open dates next ten days July 1st, 2nd , 3rd pm, 4 pm , 5 pm , 9 , 10

Commercial Dolphin Day

The weather and the schedule somehow worked out perfectly to give us a day to slip out and do a little commercial fishing.  Usually a family trip, today we took our neighbor’s friend Greg (down from PA visiting for a few days) out with us for his first adventure with dolphin fishing… little did he know how much work he was in for! (Great job btw!!) We were fortunate enough to find the bailers (although way offshore…) plus one nice citation size gaffer.  The weather was wonderful and made for a fantastic day.  Just another word of thanks to “Outer Banks Catch” for increasing public awareness of the importance and quality of our local seafood and to all the restaurants that support the commercial fishermen of the Outer Banks by purchasing truly fresh, locally caught fish…We appreciate all of you so much!

 

 

Dolphin and Sailfish June 13

Mike and Darren…fantastic job!!!  These boys worked hard to make the most out of this full-day trip… we found the bailers scattered all along a nice condition..Wed get hit by small groups all along all day and ended up with a full box of fish… plus caught and released Darren’s first sailfish! (Hey Man!) Haha… Congratulations!!!Not bad for a full day NEARSHORE trip… What a great time… thank you both so much!  Mike… always a blast!  Can’t wait til next time!!
