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 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!!!

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!

Great fishing again today! What a fantastic group to have with us… Thank you so much for such a fun trip!
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 🙂

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!
