Bluefin

/in /by

As the commercial Bluefin season winds down we are gearing up for Spring Turkey and then on to the Summer Fishing Season!!!!  Tons of excitement already this year starting with the close of an awesome waterfowl season (Thanks again to everybody! We miss you all already!!  😥 ), continued work on the farms to get ready for next year, great sound rockfish trips, the quickly approaching spring and all the fun that season brings, and then of course – summertime!  It’ll be here before we know it 🙂  A few pics from yesterday’s outing with Karl, Casey and Russell… pretty work fellas!

Hatteras Update

/in , /by

The Fistful headed to Hatteras Village chasing the fish!!  We have been fortunate to enjoy some fantastic fishing with great groups!  Dolphin fishing has been off the hook with the bonus of an “almost” grand slam – caught 1 white, jumped off a sail, and had a blue one in the spread on the way south last week!  The Cobia fishing has been hopping as well with plenty of mackerel and bluefish to play with while looking for the big fish.  Our internet access is sketchy at best down there so here’s a quick picture update from some of the last week’s trips…  🙂  Thanks everybody!!!

 

Time to fish!

We took a break from the near-shore scene and headed offshore with the rest of the fleet and private boats to participate in the Alice Kelly benefit tournament today… always a great time!!  Tons of fun and supporting a great cause all at one go 🙂  Thanks to Tiffany, Holly, and Shanna for joining us to participate in this all women’s tournament!!  We didn’t get into the billfish bite like we were hoping to but in true Fistful style brought in some meat and had a ball!!  The Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament is going on all week… everyone is always welcome to come down, walk the docks, and be a part of this annual event!!

The Fistful is up for a quick spring haul out… getting ready for this year’s season!!  New zincs, some clean up, and a little wax and she’ll be back in the water ready to go 🙂  The days are getting longer and the warm summer fishing season is fast approaching… We are saving days already – give us a shout if you know your desired dates and we’ll get you on the book!  Thanks to everyone for all the support!!  We are looking forward to another awesome season with everybody!!

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!!! )
