Dolphin and Sailfish June 13

Mike and Darren…fantastic job!!!  These boys worked hard to make the most out of this full-day trip… we found the bailers scattered all along a nice condition..Wed get hit by small groups all along all day and ended up with a full box of fish… plus caught and released Darren’s first sailfish! (Hey Man!) Haha… Congratulations!!!Not bad for a full day NEARSHORE trip… What a great time… thank you both so much!  Mike… always a blast!  Can’t wait til next time!!

Boston Mackerels

What a fantastic group today!! Sweeeeet Caroline… always a great time with a Boston crowd!!  The morning was full of Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel and these guys never missed a beat – even when we finished up the trip with a confused pelican that mistook a mackerel rig for brunch!  After a brief visit to the cockpit for a de-tangle and quick photo op he was sent back to his feathered buddies with advice on what not to eat… Jack, Greg, Pat – Thank you so much!  It was wonderful to meet you guys! Have a safe trip back and we’ll see you next time!

Missouri’s Major party june 7th

Wow we had a crazy bunch with us today…You guys are great…The beers, bloody marys, and momosas where flowing when I stopped the boat this morning…Shortly after setting out the third pole the first two where over..It was good action for us..After catching all they wanted of spanish we made our way off the beach in search of a bigger fish..We never found one but did catch a couple of Bonitas..I think everyone will agree a good time was had by all.

Back to Pirates Cove June 4th

Apon arriving in our home port on Friday we where greeted with a half day booking for Saturday..What a great crowd to fish with to welcome us back.The bluefish action was good and we also caught a few spanish mackeral..Thanks guys for a great trip and we look forward to next time.Happy birthday..

Q and crew last trip in Hatteras 2011

We set out exactly where we left from the day before..When we arrived a condition had formed up in a little bit shallower water than the blank water we would have been fishing the day before..We fished around for several hours until noon picking at the gaffers..The word on the radio was grim and we had one of the better catches of the fleet..So I gave my crew the option to go inshore and catch some spanish and look for a cobia..My boys here like bent poles so off we went..On the way in in 4 fathoms we saw a sailfish..Ran him right over.Pretty cool.Got to the hook and there where acres of spanish..We made quick work of a limit and they where classy fish..Arriving to the dock we made the right call.

SSSSSSSSSSSSS

We had the one and only S.W EARLY aka SSSSSSSSSSSS on the boat today for some gaffer action..We found a really nice spot of water close to the beach late in the day and wound up with a good catch of mahi between HANDSHAKES…Really good class of fish for the most part being true gaffers..We did have one 30 pounder make a daring escape jumping off the cockpit floor and into the ocean..Robert was not happy…We all had a great day..

John Kraft and company

Thank you guys for spending a reat day on the ocean with us..Fishing was slow at best this day but we caught a handul of nice dolphin a blackfin tuna and pulled off a big wahoo…Also saw a sailfish..Thanks and look forward to next time and more bites..

Purinai and company

We set out directly on the fish this day in 15 fathoms..The sea conditions were not perfect and we found ourselves back at the dock this day by 11 am..Three of the four guys were under the weather.We did have a good catch in just about an hour of fishing with a dozen dolphin and a couple of albacores and a blackfin…Dinkys is good for that…Thank you guys and look forward to seeing you soon.

May 22nd Hatteras

Today we took a family trip offshore in hopes of having a good catch to sale as well as taking Abigail on her first real offshore adventure..She did great and the weather could not have been any better..Flat calm and blue skies all day…As well as great fishing…We were fortunate enough to find some bigger patches of grass way out in the deep in 110 fathoms that were holding some good charges of gaffer golphin..We not only had a great family day but were able to make th most out of our efforts… I left my camera behind on the boat and will update all the catches and charters when I return.These are all pictures Kathy had on her camera..

May 20th Hatteras report

We had a good bunch of guys along with us today..The day started on a blue green change running west to east in 20 fathoms..I fished up into a pretty good head sea in the morning away from more than 30 other boats taking the down sea path..Shortly after setting out we got covered up by the gaffer dolphin and it would remain that way all day until the box was full.We ended up with a great cath of bigger gaffers and 2 king mackeral..Glad everyone had a great day and will see you soon..
