After the light tackle fun – we headed back to the beach… got lucky enough to fill the box… chatted with our local USCG for a friendly safety inspection… and headed back home… thankful for such an incredible day during a “hit or miss” time of the season!!  (Our charter had to cancel at the last minute so we headed out anyway – glad we did!!  Sorry guys if you are looking at this report… you never know when the good days will be…. we’ll go get ’em on the next trip!)

(p.s….Rob and Timbo – Thank you so much!! You guys are always a blast and awesome to fish with…you make it so fun and way easy!!!)

CRAZY FUN catch and release action with light tackle!!!  The rock were boiling on top this morning, chasing terrified little cigar size minnows all around and under the boat… they were eating everything in sight!  Always an impressive thing to see these fish on top of the water… and no birds around this go. ( You never know!)  Several nice fish went back in the water… most were in the 20 to 35 pound range with one nice 40 pound fish on a BG15 with 12 pound test… FUN STUFF!!!

Words of the day…SCATTERED and SLOW… despite the slim pickins that characterized today’s rockfish bite; we were lucky enough to scrape out a few fish and enjoy a beautiful day on the water with a fantastic group of guys!!  Thank you so much for your patience and understanding when the bite is not red-hot and great job getting these fish in!

The fish have been a little more picky the last few days… the afternoon bite was today’s choice.  Nice citation for Tony!

Early Christmas…

/in , /by

It is typically the end of December or First of the Year before we start to see the ocean rockfish migration get down our way; however, Christmas may be here early this year!  Reports from our neighboring Virginians and several North Carolina boats include nice catches of these impressive fish with several citations already brought to the docks!  The schools are scattered and still predominately in the northern waters but should follow the bait south as the month goes on.  We are busy this time of year with our guide service (deer and waterfowl) so we have had little time to see for ourselves but will keep track of what’s going on through the rest of the fleet…the water temperature is getting right though and everyone is hopeful for an early arrival this season!
