Spring and Summer on the way!

/in , /by

With all the cold weather hanging around it’s hard to believe spring will ever get here…but it’s on the way!! Spring time is HATTERAS time for the Fistful boat and we are getting ready to head south in the next month for both OFFSHORE fishing in the Gulf Stream (Chasing DOLPHIN, TUNA, WAHOO, BLUES and WHITES and SAILS and more!) and NEARSHORE trips (for SPANISH MACKERAL, KING MACKERAL, BLUEFISH, and everything else close to the beach!)… our trips in the spring are run out of Hatteras Inlet and we typically stay until the first week of June before heading back to Pirate’s Cove for the Summer rush… In the mean time… we are currently running trips as hard as we can on our 23 Maycraft for the INSHORE SOUND ROCKFISH…  Tons of fun on light tackle and lots of fish everywhere!!  Please don’t hesitate to call or email us for more information on any of our upcoming trips…Inshore, Nearshore, and to the gulf stream!

Just catching up with what we have been doing over the last few weeks..Fishing in the sound has been great since the end of Feb and will continue over the next 5 weeks or so..We had a few ocean rock trips that saw good fishing however the fish have migrated further North now and are pretty much out of our range..We were very fortunate to have them here this year…The upcoming month we will be fishing in the sound for STRIPED BASS and smaller fish such as white and yellow perch on light tackle or ur favorite fly rod..Great light tackle fishing and fun for everyone..We consider these our light tackle , light sea , light fee trips…We run these trips on our inshore boats (21 regulator and 23 may craft) ..Lodging , meals and fishing packages are available..252-395-1907  Karl

We made a half day out of a blow day for Rich Hahn and his dad from New Jersey..Water conditions were not ideal in the sound today but the fish still gave us the action we were looking for.We managed to catch some nice fish on the cast before swithing over to trolling with the the light tackle..When we would hit them we would bend over three or four rods at the time making for some fast action.We kept a limit of fish for dinner and ended the afternoon with 25 or so fish..Really enjoyed having you guys with us today and thank you for the laughs and business..You can see dad had fun, he even caught one on my little girls pink pole..

The rock in the river are starting to pop!  Incredible action a few days ago and good stuff today… still a bit hit or miss but it is so good to see them start to show up already!  Hopefully the nice spring-like weather today will start to be a habit and we are seeing this year’s crazy cold winter lose its foothold… We are still booking spring river and sound trips that target these athletic fish on light tackle – SUPER FUN!!  Packages are available with or without lodging… pick your dates and give us a call!

After running all over creation… whale watching… chasing birds… tons of bait balls with no fish… we finally found a few!  And thankful for them!  It was slow going today… lots of patience and looking… but you couldn’t ask for a prettier day on the water 🙂
