September 13 Full Day Offshore

/in , /by

THIS is what fall fishing is all about!!  We were fortunate enough to have a wonderful long time friend on board today with his family and man did they pick a great day to go!! FANTASTIC weather… AWESOME fishing… UNBEATABLE company… Paul – We can’t thank you enough for your all your support… Rudy, Fred, Shawn, Brad, and Dan… so nice to meet you all!!  The beer was flowing and the fish were biting… What more could you ask for?!  The BLACKFIN hit first thing and kept everybody reeling to get these feisty guys to the boat… close to a dozen of the smaller fish went back in to grow another season but not without giving the boys a sporty fight first!  The largest went straight into the box..  And then the DOLPHIN!!! Fantastic class of bailers and hoisters with several gaffers thrown in the mix… don’t forget the two token albacore, the sharks, and the sailfish jumping around… Thank you guys for an incredible day!  Have a blast at the wedding and we hope to see you all again soon 🙂

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!

Our friend Greg sent some pictures he took on an offshore trip we did a few weeks ago… Thank you Greg!  The near-shore action has been great this week… I’ll get some more reports up as soon as I have those pics… Thank you so much to all the great folks that have been fishing with us!

We had a nice group from western North Carolina for a 3/4 day today… the warm water pushed in towards the beach to form a nice condition just outside of the inlet and these guys elected to head out to it and try the dolphin… it was a good decision!  It’s a great feeling to find a species so close to the beach that you normally have to make a much longer run to…  Pretty work fellas!  Thank you so much for a great trip!

Commercial Dolphin Day

/in , /by

The weather and the schedule somehow worked out perfectly to give us a day to slip out and do a little commercial fishing.  Usually a family trip, today we took our neighbor’s friend Greg (down from PA visiting for a few days) out with us for his first adventure with dolphin fishing… little did he know how much work he was in for! (Great job btw!!) We were fortunate enough to find the bailers (although way offshore…) plus one nice citation size gaffer.  The weather was wonderful and made for a fantastic day.  Just another word of thanks to “Outer Banks Catch” for increasing public awareness of the importance and quality of our local seafood and to all the restaurants that support the commercial fishermen of the Outer Banks by purchasing truly fresh, locally caught fish…We appreciate all of you so much!
