SEPTEMBER 15TH full day nearshore

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 9 AM

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!!

September 2 Nearshore

A fantastic group today!  The water is clearing up after our friend Irene and the inlet is bigger than it’s been in a while… these guys ventured out in the ocean for a bit then back to the sound for some light tackle fun… Great to meet you all and thanks for a wonderful trip!  Have a safe trip home 🙂  Hope to see you next year!

Nearshore Trip

Another great dinner take 🙂  Fantastic job getting these fish in the box everybody!  Thank you all for a great trip!!  Hope to see you again soon!

Hurricane Irene…bye bye :)

The Fistful boat is thankfully safe and sound… as are many of our fellow charter fleet friends.  We are all fortunate to have dodged a big bullet with this one… hurricanes are part of life on the water but never a welcomed part and always nerve racking!  The last several days have been filled with preparation for the storm, hauling out, getting ready, plus lots of nail biting followed by a huge sigh of relief and now putting all the pieces back together.  We are close to getting back in the water – tons of clean up and debris removal out of the canals and creeks that feed into the boat yards are part of the deal and a big thank you to everyone that has been and is working so hard to keep our livelihood afloat.  The marine industry is a very  important part of the Outer Banks and we are thankful to be a part of such a fantastic group of people… hard working and always with a positive attitude!  Our thoughts are with our neighbors that suffered alot more damage than we did and we are all fortunate that this thing didn’t do what it was forecasted to do.  The charter boats will be back in full swing in the next day or two… fishing is always awesome after these storms so don’t hesitate to get back out there!  We will be up and running as soon as the creek is clear to get out… give us a call and take a break from the crazy aftermath – let’s go fishing!

Thanks everybody for keeping her safe 🙂

The line up... ready to get back in the water 🙂

August 21

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!!
