10-23 Saturday

Austin and his buddies joined us today for his bachelor party. We caught a couple of yellowfins in the morning which seem to be rare this fall. Our action picked up a bit in the afternoon with the blackfins but was still scrappy to say the least. There were a lot of throwbacks today.  Ed did land a citation 31 lb fish. Thats a nice blackfin considering that a NC citation is 20lbs!  Thanks for the pretty weather!

Friday 10-22

Decent Blackfin tuna fishing for us today. A bonus 52lb wahoo earned Billy a NC citation. We went 1 for 5 wahoo bites today!  Thanks for putting the trip together Jim. Look forward to next time.

Blackfin tunas

Action all day today! It was a pleasure having Rob and his group today. They did a great job keeping up with all of the bites that we had. 189 lbs of tuna total with a 21 pound fish that earned a state citation. Thanks!

Wedding Party Friday

Joey and his gang joined us on friday. The day started off a bit choppy, but everyone hung in there and we ended up with a meat slam! A couple nice yellowfin tunas, a bunch of blackfin tunas, a couple of dolphin and a nice wahoo!

There were several wahoos caught today throughout the fleet today. Thanks and good luck!

Great White Marlin Fishing!

Been a bit slack on our reports, but if you have been keeping up with the reports from the other boats in our fleet you can see that the white marlin fishing has been great! We have weekend days open if you want to get in on the bite! Huck

The international CAT service rep team fished with us today. Plenty of action today....Started off on a slick catching a few dolphin. Put the spread out and caught a sailfish pretty quick. Another boat nearby found a pallet that had been floating for a while that was full of dolphin. We ran to him and caught what we needed for dinner. There was enough dolphin there for 3 or 4 boats!  We spent the rest of the trip looking for a billfish and ended up with three more white marlin. Everyone on the boat got to catch a billfish today. Thanks, we enjoyed the trip and the pretty weather! 

Farm fishing

Buddy from Classy Riders Car Wash in Elizabeth City brought out some of his grandkids and some family members while they had their family reunion to fish the farm pond today. Plenty of bass and bluegills kept the little ones busy. Good to get out of the city every once and a while and take a kid fishing!

Fishing was scrappy for the fleet today. The great dolphin fishing from yesterday disappeared, so we switched gears and tried the tuna hole. We came up with a decent catch including a 50 lb tuna on light tackle that took 40 minutes to land.....good job. Plenty of variety this morning including: a sailfish release, blackfin tuna, yellowfin tuna and dolphin.   The weather started off  with some thunderstorms in the morning which cleared and it turned into a pretty day. Thanks

Thompsons

Good dolphin fishing and great weather for the Thompson crew today. Thanks

Alice Kelly

We had the F.I.N.N.S team on board for the Alice Kelly Release Tournament again this year......A big time was had! We pulled off a white marlin reaching for the leader and caught 20 dolphin around a floating minnow bucket. Thanks Again!

Forced Family Fun!

Took the kids out for a trip around the inlet today. Great weather, great fishing. Thanks.

Offshore

We have run a few trips since our last report. The weather has been hit or miss as well as the fishing. We did get Timmy and his crew from Camden out on Saturday. The ride out was a bit rough, but it calmed down as the day went on. We were having tough luck early in the day. We jumped off a white marlin and missed a few other bites. Their patience paid off and at the end of the day we were called by another boat who had found a large school of dolphin close by. We ran to the spot and caught our dolphin pretty quick. A few other boats got in on the action as well. Thanks

Inshore

We had the opportunity to take George and his boys on an inlet half day trip today. The weather finally broke out of the southwester that had been persisting for the last week and a half and we enjoyed a light south east wind and calm conditions. The bluefish were snapping and the guys did a good job with them. We were able to fill up a five gallon bucket in no time. I hope you enjoyed the fish! Good luck in Wilmington guys!

Need a few anglers

Either Monday, Wednesday or Thursday August 9th, 11th or 12th I have a group of 2 anglers that would like to fill the boat for a trip. Give me a call if you are interested. 252.216.5880 Huck

Southwester

A constant Southwest wind has put our offshore trips on hold for the last few days. It makes the water on the beach cold and the water offshore rough....We hope to be getting back out this Friday and Saturday though.

The boats that fished in the Boat Builders Tournament found some good sailfish action south of diamond shoals over the weekend. The winning boat had 16 releases in two days.  Hopefully they are moving on up......Thanks

Thursday

More good dolphin fishing with a few gaffers in the mix.....very few billfish seen or caught today by the fleet. Hope they show up soon! Enjoy the fish! Thanks

Fridays Report

It wasn't quite a skunking but it was close enough. The fishing has slowed down a bit and I knew that we were only go to be presented with a couple of opportunities today and we needed to take advantage of them. Well, the first one was a white marlin. Will did a good job hooking the fish but when the rod was passed to one of the other anglers in the party the line somehow got wrapped around the rod tip. Well, you can guess what happened then. Zing-powwww. Ok, our second chance was a tuna bite on our white marlin tackle. The 50 pound tuna battled Brian for almost an hour before gaining the advantage and pulling the hook 10 feet from the leader. Bummer!

We did catch a few small dolphin for dinner. The weather was pretty other than some showers first thing in the morning. Thanks Beasley, we enjoyed your company!

Wednesday

Brian and his family joined us for another pretty day on the ocean today. We found a nice bunch of dolphin first thing and caught around 30. After looking around for a while and picking at the dolphin, we were jumped by a few sailfish. We hooked 1 out of 2 and unfortunately pulled him off while the mate was reaching for the leader. Bummer! Setting back out, we had a another sail on our long rigger bait that jumped off shortly after being hooked. Tough luck with them today! At the end of the day we found another really nice school of dolphin and finished up our limit of 60 fish. Fish fry tomorrow.......Thanks!

More make up Tuesday

Another good day of dolphin fishing with a bonus 40lb cobia........

PC Make up trip

More good dolphin fishing for us today. We found these fish in the wide open today.....A really good sign of dolphin today. When we finished our limit there were still plenty of hungry ones behind the boat! Zak got lucky and caught a 51 pound yellowfin tuna too. Thanks.
