This afternoon’s trip was a make up trip… it’s always fun to meet new folks! Everybody did a great job! Harold and Sons…. so nice meeting you guys and have a safe trip back to MD! We didn’t get a pic of the other half of the group… so nice to meet you guys too! Thanks for the trip!!
With summer still in full force we forget about all the fun the winter time offers on the outer banks..Ocean run stripers were here in full force last year and we expect another great run this year..They generally arrive the first week of Jan and thats really when we start to target them..In January I will be busy duck hunting and captain Ernest Doshier of GECKO sportfishing in Ocracoke will be running the FISTFUL..geckosportfishing.com.Ernie is great and will put you in the meat…In Feb I will be back ..We have plenty of dates open but weekends are starting to fill up…One thing we do offer is a complete lodging package..Our lodging is provided a stones throw away from the boat soundfront with spectacular winter sunsets over pirates cove marina we can also arrange meals.Lodging is an additional $100 per night.Its a fun way to spend a couple of days for a little winter time fishing..Full day trips only.. $975 for the day..If we have to travel an extended length to get to the fish we may add a fuel surcharge of up to $150 may be added
.GIVE US A CALL …
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..
Great bluefish action and a little gaff practice on the bonita… Jason, Kevin, Jennifer, Al, and Mike – thank you all!
Great nearshore fishing continues… Andy, Dave, Erin, and Jessie….Thank you guys so much for a fantastic day!
Our afternoon trip was a wonderful family from Alabama… they claimed that this was their first time fishing on a boat but you would never know it! They did a great job getting in a nice catch of bluefish to take home.. so nice to meet you William, Emily, Laurie, and Marcus!
We had a fantastic group from the home of the Hurricanes…Raleigh NC! (Yes… there is great ice hockey in the south!) These guys worked hard reeling in Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel, plus one baby Cobia… it didn’t take long and the whole crowd had “hand-lining” figured out – what a great bunch to have for a 3/4 day! Thank you so much John, Kyle A., Paul, Kyle C., Cam, and Brock… you guys are awesome!…so nice to meet you all and we look forward to next time!!
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.
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
I am trying to get a little caught up all at once! We have been busy lately with near shore trips… so many great people from all over the country (and in some cases the world!) have been fishing with the Fistful during their vacations on the Outer Banks… the Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel bites have been great during the half-day trips and the 3/4 and full day trips have been able to venture out a little further after other species as well. Thank you to all the individuals, families, and friends that have taken the time to go with us.. you all make the trips so enjoyable! Hope to see you again soon 🙂
