June 2008

Well it has been a wild June so far we have been extremely busy between charter fishing & fishing the Big Rock tournament. I must say fishing has been pretty good I feel blessed to be able to fish as many days as we have. The first part of June it was big Gaffer fishing at its finest with a Blue Marlin thrown in here & there just to spice things up a bit. The fish has been moving around quite a bit in my opinion never catching them in the same place twice which makes it a little more challenging. The big gaffers would be in 70 Fathoms one day then an edge would shove in overnight & would be in 16 Fathoms the next day. We have also caught a few citation Wahoo this month. Most of the Hoos has been in the 20 pound + range. The Big Rock tournament was not as good for me as it was for others. After the first day the bar had been set we knew it would take a 650 pound fish to win it so we fished the big stuff all week. We did pull one nice fish off Tuesday around 400 pounds but even if we had caught her there would have been no need to kill her. After the Big Rock we kinda picked up were we left off with the meat fishing with the exception of the Gaffers there seems to be more fish now but the smaller class of them with a few nice Gaffers mixed in every day along with the Wahoo. Finally things are starting to heat up nearshore & along the beach with a few Dolphin on the nearshore rocks along with the King Mackerel & PLENTY of Spanish Mackerel just on the beach which
is perfect for the 1/2 day trips for the kids. Things are starting to slow up a bit so I will try to keep a current report up again.

May 2008

It is early May but the Spring fishing has been pretty good so far. Not sure what happened to the Yellowfin Tuna but the Mahi & Wahoo fishing has taken
up the slack for the Tuna. Yellowfins have been pretty scarce this Spring so far but who knows they may be thick tomorrow. Wahoos have been caught on the Fight-N-Lady up to 55 pounds this Spring & Mahis up to 50 pounds along with quite a few Giggers & Gaffers. The Billfish bite is also shaping up to be good this year with several already been released by the fleet. We still have plenty of days open so come on down & enjoy the fun. If you are in the
area we are normally in between 4:15 & 4:30 so come on by & see us unload our catch for the day.
Thanks,

April 2008

Well the wind has finally gave us a small break this month to get in some fishing. We missed just about everyday in March due to weather. We have been waiting all winter for the spring fishing well guess what it is HERE! Nice catches of Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel & even a few Mahi have started to show up. Some of the Wahoo have been 50+ pounds & some of the Tunas have been 70 pounds. We still have several weekdays open & a few scattered weekend days throughout the summer. Do not get left sitting at the dock wishing you were fishing!

Febuary 2008

Well after a long few weeks in the Boat Yard waxing, painting & scrubbing we finally go to go fishing.It looks like the Spring Fishing has arrived a
little early. We made our first trip with a few surprises mixed in. The main target was Yellowfin Tuna which we were successful with not to mention we pulled off a Blue Marlin caught a Mahi & some Wahoo. There is nothing like catching a mixed bag like this in FEBRUARY only in Carolina. Things should continue to keep heating up through March. We still have a few weekend dates open along with weekdays so now is your chance. Also I have a new mate this year Capt. Ryan Strickland is in the pit on the Fight N Lady all I got to say is I pity the fish this season! I tried to break him in right today we were pulling 9 lines had a triple header Yellowfin bite in a sloppy NE wind & he managed to give all 3 of them a free boat ride back to Morehead City.
