SSSSSSSSSSSSS
We had the one and only S.W EARLY aka SSSSSSSSSSSS on the boat today for some gaffer action..We found a really nice spot of water close to the beach late in the day and wound up with a good catch of mahi between HANDSHAKES…Really good class of fish for the most part being true gaffers..We did have one 30 pounder make a daring escape jumping off the cockpit floor and into the ocean..Robert was not happy…We all had a great day..
Purinai and company
We set out directly on the fish this day in 15 fathoms..The sea conditions were not perfect and we found ourselves back at the dock this day by 11 am..Three of the four guys were under the weather.We did have a good catch in just about an hour of fishing with a dozen dolphin and a couple of albacores and a blackfin…Dinkys is good for that…Thank you guys and look forward to seeing you soon.
Gaffer dolphin fishing Hatteras
We have been in Hatteras since the 29th of April..Fishing has been great..Some days the conditions have not been as they would normally be but non the less we have had a great all around spring..We will be in Hatteras until June 3rd..We will then return to Pirates Cove for the summer where we will be nearshore fishing for spanish mackeral , bluefish , triggers , cobes , red drum , and amberjack…Please give us a call anytime to book a trip..If we are not available someone in our charter fleet will be and we will make arrangements.
Spring and Summer on the way!
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!
TURKEY SEASON Cast and Blast
We operate FISTFUL sportfishing under the name ALBEMARLE OUTFITTERS..As a full service outfitter we offer it all and spend every day outside on the water or in the woods…For those of you who do not know, Karl is a very accomplished caller and has 4 state championship duck calling contests to prove it as well as 30 plus other turkey , swan and goose calling contests.He took his first paying party of hunters at the ripe age of 15..His first hunters then I am proud to say are still hunting and fishing with him now…With turkey season quickly aproaching we have very limted days available to hunt..Just wanted to let everyone know that we do have 4 two day hunts left.We only do a maximum of 14 turkey hunts to assure we give you the best chance for your spring gobbler.WE DONT PUT YOU IN A GROUND BLIND AND MAKE YOU SIT AROUND FOR A TURKEY.We go to them and call them in like its suppost to be done either off the tree or by locating and pursuit..The cast and blast deal covers your hunting in the morning and light tackle rockfishing in the afternoon on the Albemarle sound..Max 2 hunters per trip and a two day minimum.

Wed March 9th Report
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
Tuesday March 8th Inshore rockfish
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..
Rockfish (Feb 18, 2011)
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!
