Back to the Cove

/in , /by

Back in the water and ready for the season! Shiny and even a fresh coat of bottom paint 🙂

 

This year we have added a new trip to the repertoire – a “Deep Water Bottom Fishing/Trolling Trip“.  This Extended Full Day trip is designed to allow for the time and fuel required to venture a bit further from the beach than we are able to do during the conventional NearShore trips.  This will provide for the opportunity to specifically target different species such as dolphin (mahi mahi) and bottom dwellers.  It is not a classic deep water gulfstream trip – more of an “in-between” and provides the experience of fishing for a wider selection of species in a budget-minded package… We will have the “Trips and Rates” page updated shortly to provide more information… Let’s go fishing!

Spring Haul Out

The Fistful is up for a quick spring haul out… getting ready for this year’s season!!  New zincs, some clean up, and a little wax and she’ll be back in the water ready to go 🙂  The days are getting longer and the warm summer fishing season is fast approaching… We are saving days already – give us a shout if you know your desired dates and we’ll get you on the book!  Thanks to everyone for all the support!!  We are looking forward to another awesome season with everybody!!

      

SEPTEMBER 15TH full day nearshore

/in /by

We had Kevin , Kim , Greg , Michael , Travis , and Charlie on the boat with us today.We set out just outside the 20 mile mark and worked down a sulfur line with some pretty places of grass in it..Never found a load of dolphins to bail but did have constant trolling bites all day.Several nice gaffers , baffers , and bailers made up our dolphin catch.We were struck by the albacores several times as well and they are a great fight on small 20 lb class outfits..Beautiful weather and great people allways make for an increadable day..Thank you guys so much for the day of fishing.

September 13 Full Day Offshore

THIS is what fall fishing is all about!!  We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful long time friend on board today with his family and man did they pick a great day to go!! FANTASTIC weather… AWESOME fishing… UNBEATABLE company… Paul – We can’t thank you enough for your all your support… Rudy, Fred, Shawn, Brad, and Dan… so nice to meet you all!!  The beer was flowing and the fish were biting… What more could you ask for?!  The BLACKFIN hit first thing and kept everybody reeling to get these feisty guys to the boat… close to a dozen of the smaller fish went back in to grow another season but not without giving the boys a sporty fight first!  The largest went straight into the box..  And then the DOLPHIN!!! Fantastic class of bailers and hoisters with several gaffers thrown in the mix… don’t forget the two token albacore, the sharks, and the sailfish jumping around… Thank you guys for an incredible day!  Have a blast at the wedding and we hope to see you all again soon 🙂

September 6 Full Day

What an awesome day!!!  The ocean was beautiful once you crossed the bar and the Fistful was able to venture out on a full day trip in search of a little meat… To have such a great group of guys on the boat when we can get into the fish like this is nothing short of a fantastic “make you feel good” day!  Limit of dolphin plus a White Marlin – WAY TO GO FELLAS!!  We can’t wait til Rock Season… looking forward to seeing you again!!!  Nathan, Justin, Chris, and David – Thank you so much for fishing with us!!!

You never know what the water conditions and temps are going to do… we try very hard to let everybody know that half-day nearshore trips are targeting the smaller species such as bluefish and spanish mackerel.   We just do not have enough time to get you to where the gulf stream species live…. please do not expect to find the type of fish that typically require an all-day, go to the gulf stream, 30 to 50 mile adventure to bring home….. and then you have a day like today! Pip… you are one lucky b…. Limit of bailer dolphin on the beach plus a nice gaffer bite – all on a 4 1/2 hour NEARSHORE trip… if only this would happen every day!!  Thank you guys so much for an awesome trip and hope everybody didn’t hurt too bad the next am!!

Our three-quarter group today got to experience something that rarely happens… dolphin on the beach!  The weather couldn’t have been nicer for these folks and the fishing was awesome!! Gaffer dolphin within site of the beach? Days like today are wonderful and spoil us rotten! Several nice fish right along.. we pulled a few off after these guys got to reel and get a feel for what they were fighting… they got the hang of it quick and rapidly put plenty of meat in the box… Pretty work everybody!! It was great to meet you all and hope we get to see you again!! Thanks for a fantastic day!
