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!!
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!!!!!
What a slick calm beautiful day and a great crew today! Nice bluefish action and several spanish…. Pretty work guys!! Daniel and Earl… Thank you so much for a great day! Have a fantastic rest of the week 🙂 
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 🙂
With the inlet roaring this morning and only predicted to get more adventurous with the tide change, it was decided to stay in the sound today… Plenty of fun, sun, beautiful water and a nice class of blue fish plus some spanish mackerel to keep our main angler busy! GREAT JOB MICHAEL!! Thank you guys so much for a fantastic trip!!
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!!!
We had a break this afternoon and dove season is in… there’s no better way to spend Labor Day afternoon than with friends and family!
We had a wonderful group down from PA this morning… glad you guys enjoyed the roller coaster!! 🙂 Great job getting these fish in… The morning started with a slower bite followed by plenty of action after the tide turned with these nice blues plus several Spanish. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your vacation, have a safe trip home, and we hope to see you again next year! It was wonderful to meet you all!
