Weekend Fishing

I cant say much for the meat fishing over the weekend. The conditions were beautiful, but the fish weren't there in enough numbers to support the amount of boats that were fishing. We did catch a few tunas and some dolphin on every trip. The weather was perfect and our crowds had a good time

The good news is that the boats fishing south of us in Morehead City and Hatteras have had real good dolphin fishing, so they should be moving our way.  There were also 20+ blue marlin seen yesterday by the fleet of boats fishing out of Hatteras.

First Billfish!

Friday we caught our first billfish of the year. After catching a limit of bailer dolphin and a couple of 40 lb yellowfins, we hooked a 200 lb blue marlin on 30 lb test tackle. One hour later we released her unharmed! Thanks!

Saturday the meat fishing slowed down a bit for the fleet. We did catch our first white marlin of the year……Thanks for checking in.

Ready to go for another season

Fresh bottom paint, new bow hatches, some polishing and we are out of the boatyard and ready for another season!

More great weather and good rockfishing. We stayed in the KDH, Kitty Hawk area for most of the day.  Bill earned a NC citation for his 35 pound rockfish. Pretty work!

Saturday Rockfishing was great. We fished off Kill Devil Hills most of the day and caught a limit of stripers up to 30 lbs. Kids had a great time and the weather was pretty. Thanks!
