Back to the Cove

/in , /by

Back in the water and ready for the season! Shiny and even a fresh coat of bottom paint 🙂

 

This year we have added a new trip to the repertoire – a “Deep Water Bottom Fishing/Trolling Trip“.  This Extended Full Day trip is designed to allow for the time and fuel required to venture a bit further from the beach than we are able to do during the conventional NearShore trips.  This will provide for the opportunity to specifically target different species such as dolphin (mahi mahi) and bottom dwellers.  It is not a classic deep water gulfstream trip – more of an “in-between” and provides the experience of fishing for a wider selection of species in a budget-minded package… We will have the “Trips and Rates” page updated shortly to provide more information… Let’s go fishing!

This spring season is proving to be a productive one! Lots of beautiful birds out there doing their thing…what an incredible display to witness!  We are so thankful to be able to spend time in the woods during this gorgeous time of year… and to watch mother nature at her finest is an amazing bonus…

 

More sound fun…

Karl had a fantastic group this go…. Dwight, Reggie, Jimmy – thank you so much!!  It’s always a blast to have great folks on the boat!!  Plenty of action, a limit of nice fish to take home, plus a little “surgery” makes for a fun day!! (Ha!)  Angie – it was wonderful to see you again!!  Hope your trip back was nice and relaxing 🙂  Send some pics if you get the chance and I’ll get them posted… hope to see you guys again soon!!

Spring is almost here!!

It sounds a little silly to say “almost here” with the wonderful weather we have had this winter.  Early spring is proving to shape up just as nice!!  The sound rockfish are biting and it’s a fantastic excuse to get the whole family out on the water… 4 year old daughter Abbie has been practicing hard and has now mastered casting a spinning reel… She is moving on to tell Karl exactly where to go to find the fish these days!! 🙂  Don’t forget…Spring Turkey season is right around the corner… less than a month away!  This is yet another favorite time of the year – a wonderful time to be on the boat and in the woods!  Looking for to seeing everybody this spring!!!

Looks like the fish are going to stay to the north this year with the crazy (yet wonderful) warm weather!  We are still watching the schools… let us know if there is any interest before they head back out of range 🙂

First main season closes… getting ready for the next go!

No hunting in NC on Sunday… so what else should you do but GO FISHING!!  We had a great crowd today… Ron, Donna, and family…. Thank you so much!!  These guys (and gals!) put in a full day’s work to bring home dinner today… the bite was an am event and they did a fantastic job getting these fish to the boat… don’t forget the heart-breakers right at the transom, a couple of heavy bites hit and gone, and two sneaky fast yellowfins that criss-crossed to break the lines!! It was wonderful to meet you all and looking forward to next time!!!  Great job and have a safe trip home! 🙂 (Donna… Let us know how the whales and hot-air balloons go!!! )
