Our afternoon trip was a wonderful family from Alabama… they claimed that this was their first time fishing on a boat but you would never know it! They did a great job getting in a nice catch of bluefish to take home.. so nice to meet you William, Emily, Laurie, and Marcus!
We had a fantastic group from the home of the Hurricanes…Raleigh NC! (Yes… there is great ice hockey in the south!) These guys worked hard reeling in Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel, plus one baby Cobia… it didn’t take long and the whole crowd had “hand-lining” figured out – what a great bunch to have for a 3/4 day! Thank you so much John, Kyle A., Paul, Kyle C., Cam, and Brock… you guys are awesome!…so nice to meet you all and we look forward to next time!!
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.
Man we have been on a roll lately fishing everyday.. Thank you to everybody for fishing with us..If we did not get your picture up and you want to see it on the site please send me an email…Bottom line fishing was great today..We had two half days and with the fish being a little south of the half day range as they where today we are able to offer 1 to 2 extra hours for $100 per hour to make the fuel and time work out and PUT YOU IN THE MEAT…Everybody on both trips made the right call and off we went..Multiple bendos over and over in the morning when we arrived and we fished for just two hours before acheiving a limt.What great fishing..We arrived back on seen in the afternoon to find our fish were not there.After searching for an hour we ran into them and worped it in them until my boys down below said they had enough.A limit of adult beverages also met there match..Thanks again to everyone for everything..Open dates next ten days July 1st, 2nd , 3rd pm, 4 pm , 5 pm , 9 , 10
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!
I am trying to get a little caught up all at once! We have been busy lately with near shore trips… so many great people from all over the country (and in some cases the world!) have been fishing with the Fistful during their vacations on the Outer Banks… the Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel bites have been great during the half-day trips and the 3/4 and full day trips have been able to venture out a little further after other species as well. Thank you to all the individuals, families, and friends that have taken the time to go with us.. you all make the trips so enjoyable! Hope to see you again soon 🙂
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.
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..
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.
Mike is no slouch when it comes to fishing himself or duck hunting for that matter..Hes been hunting with me for six years now and we have become great friends.Allways good to see you YOU SOLID BLOCK OF ICE you…Slow going for the entire fleet in Hatteras this day with busted conditions and scattered grass..We did manage to scrape out a catch of dolphin and blackfin tunas.
