Hatteras Dolphin
A huge Thank You to Mike and the crew…. what a fantastic group!!! You guys are a blast! We thoroughly enjoyed having you all on the boat and hope to see you again soon…. let us know how that “mahi special” turns out!!! 🙂
Hatteras Update
The Fistful headed to Hatteras Village chasing the fish!! We have been fortunate to enjoy some fantastic fishing with great groups! Dolphin fishing has been off the hook with the bonus of an “almost” grand slam – caught 1 white, jumped off a sail, and had a blue one in the spread on the way south last week! The Cobia fishing has been hopping as well with plenty of mackerel and bluefish to play with while looking for the big fish. Our internet access is sketchy at best down there so here’s a quick picture update from some of the last week’s trips… 🙂 Thanks everybody!!!
Official Start to Summer
We had an awesome collegiate group to kick off the official start of summer today!! Despite the sporty seas and showers they did an incredible job getting in the fish!! This shot is from the ride in… fantastic folks like this make any day fun!! Thank you all so much and great job!!
Time to fish!
Sunset over pirates cove marina… Weather is shaping up with reports of fish on the beach… summer is on the horizon…
Dolphin Day
What better way to kick off the upcoming fishing season than to load up the dolphin with “Team Helmkamp”!! Congratulations and great job John, Dougie, Chris, and Scott!!! Thank you so much for coming down and fishing with us… you made the day!! Only 2 more days of Turkey season left to go then it’s officially time to fish…. LETS GO FISHING EVERYBODY!!
FullDay Aug 5
Sailfish and Dolphin were on tap for today… an awesome day with Hunter and the crew… Thank you guys so much!!!
Week long update :)
I apologize for the delay in reports… crazy busy this time of year plus the camera is currently MIA – needless to say I unfortunately do not have any NEARSHORE pictures to put up at this time 🙁 To update everyone: the SPANISH MACKERAL bite has been incredible this week in addition to plenty of BLUEFISH providing tons of action and loads of fun!! We have come across several COBIA as well on the nearshore trips – many making back to the dock and one heart-breaker that broke the line after an hour long fight… estimates on weight for the escapee have ranged from 80 to 100 lbs… bummer for the boys 🙁 The FULL DAY DEEP DROP/TROLLING trips have been awesome for DOLPHIN (The back up camera made it on this trip so I can post some evidence!)… several COBIA have been running with the dolphin schools and at times caught at the same time!! Great weather and fantastic fishing have been the theme this week!!! Trips are booking fast right now so please let us know if you have dates you want us to save… we have had several spots get booked out from under some of our groups lately that waited until the last minute – we hate to not get the chance to take everybody that wants to go!!
