July 29

Pretty work everybody!  The weather cooperated and the Fistful boat was able to head out for an Offshore trip today!  We stay nearshore most days during the summer and it is so nice to be able to get out there for a little change in pace!

Upcoming Action

With summer still in full force we forget about all the fun the winter time offers on the outer banks..Ocean run stripers were here in full force last year and we expect another great run this year..They generally arrive the first week of Jan and thats really when we start to target them..In January  I will be busy duck hunting  and captain Ernest Doshier of GECKO sportfishing in Ocracoke will be running the FISTFUL..geckosportfishing.com.Ernie is great and will put you in the meat…In Feb I will be back ..We have plenty of dates open but weekends are starting to fill up…One thing we do offer is a complete lodging package..Our lodging is provided a stones throw away from the boat soundfront with spectacular winter sunsets over pirates cove marina we can also arrange meals.Lodging is an additional $100 per night.Its a fun way to spend a couple of days for a little winter time fishing..Full day trips only.. $975 for the day..If we have to travel an extended length to get to the fish we may add a fuel surcharge of up to $150 may be added.GIVE US A CALL …

July 19 Full Day

The Fistful ventured offshore today! Tuna, Dolphin, and 2 Sailfish bites… Pretty work fellas!! Always a blast Q!

July 16th

The bluefish continue to dominate the nearshore waters surrounding the inlet for our half days..Multiple fish on at the time are common problems and lots of action for all of our anglers..What they lack in size they make up for in  rod bending action which is great for kids of all ages..A half day is about getting out on the water, enjoying the beauty of the ocean and the outer banks..Its not about catching blue marlins , tunas , and mahi.Its about good times with friends and family..Thats what we like to see..

Offshore pics…

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!

 

 

  

July 11 AM

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!

Fog Fog Fog… (July 10)

We finally had a day off and yes….we went fishing!!  After navigating a major traffic jam this morning due to fog, we headed out and had a fantastic day on the water… The weather cooperated and it was a beautiful day offshore… I have tons of fog pics but not many offshore.. (I’ll try to do better next time)  We did have an up close view of one of the whales… I’m still trying to figure out what species – not one of the normal critters we usually get to see…

July 2nd

Great nearshore action continues up and down the beach..Bluefish and spanish mackeral make up most of the catches with a drum here and there and an occasional cobia and shark appearance.Great family fun and its super easy to enjoy..Here are a few more drum pics.
