The season is in full swing! Variety is the name of the game for this year’s start… Cobia, Mahi, Drum, Spanish, Kings, Tiles, Blues, even a Puffer and already seeing some billfish (jumped off a sail yesterday)! The weather has been awesome and the fishing equally enjoyable… Thank you so much to everyone for getting this year rolling with so much fun!! Give us a call if you want to get out there… it’s time to go fishing!
I am not sure where to start… the last half of July has provided an amazing variety of crazy fun fishing with so many great groups!! We appreciate everyone so much and also appreciate the fantastic fishing that our area has to offer during these summer months… we are so thankful to be able to call the Outer Banks home. Our trips have predominately been Nearshore the last few weeks and the species all across the board – Kingfish, Triggers, Tiles, Spanish mackerel (we had 2 6 pound plus citation Spanish in 1 week!! check out the pic below…), Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Albecore, Amberjack, Cobia, Red Drum, and more. This time of year you never know what you will see out there and everyday can be different – so much fun!! August is booking up quickly so please give us a call if you want to go… Time to go fishing!!!
The last week has been full with half and 3/4 day trips – So much fun for everybody!! The Red Drum have shown up to provide tons of Catch and Release action, the Spanish and King Mackerel fishing has been awesome, the Amberjacks gave one of our regular crews a great workout (no more gym before fishing next time Keith!!) and we’ve even seen a few dolphin on the short trips! We got to take several fantastic youth anglers and had a blast with all our groups – thank you so much!! One quick peek at some green and yellow starting to come together for fall… the next season will be here before we know it but until then it’s time to get on the water and catch em up! Thanks again everybody!!
As we roll into June our fishing continues to be fantastic… The Tuna are still here but wont be for long!! Don’t forget the Cobia and bottom fish, Mackerel and Bluefish… something different every day and so much fun. Gib, Dickie, Mike, Bobbie and Dean and the boys – Thank you all so much! We are so fortunate to have such great folks in our lives… you guys are awesome!
June is booking up – give us a call as soon as you know your dates so we can get your day saved… It’s time to fish!
The last 2 weeks have been full of great fishing and amazing charters! We have had a number of young anglers lately and what an impressive display of ability and enthusiasm from all of them – Every one of our kids jumped right into the fray and man… you can’t slow them down. Some are new to the game and some are already well on their way to becoming pros (B. Boys – you know who you are!!) – Awesome job everybody!! One of our goals is to create an experience for them (and their adults) that will turn into a life-long passion… it really gets your heart fired up to see that spark. Thank you so much to all our groups – Grown-Ups and Youngsters! *** A huge Thank You goes out to Capt. Jim on the HogWild and Capt. Troy on the Fowl Hooked for helping us juggle some of our groups during our unexpected quickie haul out and to all the gang down at Bluewater for pulling together and getting us up and running again – JP – we owe you… as usual!! Thank you so much…. I wish I could have seen you on that lift!! ***
Last but not least – we do have some days open for the next few weeks – the Fistful gets a break starting September 17th this year so let us know if you want to get out there before we turn to the ducks! The Billfish are starting to show… the dolphin are here on the Full Day trips… the Big Drum are hanging around… the Mackerel are snappin… the blues are snappin…the Jacks are snappin… the weather is beautiful… Let’s go Fishing!!
I know I sound like a broken record but WOW! The remainder of August was filled with amazing fishing… unbelievable weather… and group after group of awesome people!! We appreciate everyone so much… you make our trips great and we hope to see everyone again soon! We are kicking off September with more of the same… We will be fishing until the 18th then it will officially be time for the birds. Please let us know asap if anyone is interested in getting in on the amazing action before we change gears… we have a few scattered spots available but they are filling fast 🙂
