Wow - the last two weeks have been wonderful for me. Excellent weather and simply amazing fishing. For the life of me, I still cannot understand why more people don't fish down here in June...the ocean is simply an aquarium. If you want to catch mahi-mahi (aka dorado or dolphin) - YOU NEED TO BE [...]
Today I fished with Sharon and Paula, who wanted to learn a little more about our inshore fishery. We had a GREAT time together today, and I have to say it was an absolute pleasure being on the water with them. With so many nice groups of people in a row...no wonder I am in [...]
Today I fished with Art and his sister Jean - who was in town for a few days from Alaska. We had a GREAT time together, and like always, it wasn't just about the fishing but the company and sharing our thoughts on our favorite sport. Art started off the day hooking a MONSTER stingray, [...]
A solid wave of Cobia came in with this southwest wind. They caught them in the inlet on bait, on the beach on bait balls and on the wrecks. Katie and I took out a couple of our friends for a big fish trip I promised them. We found a solid acre of amberjacks busting [...]
I had the pleasure of fishing with Jason, Donnie and Roger again - we had a great day last May and we hoped to do it again. Today it was all about the pull with a few fish for a couple dinners being the secondary objective - my kind of guys! We started off casting [...]
We're getting to Amberjack City time - the water is warming and they are hungry. Win and I always have a good time together and after a few spanish on the fly (hoping for a late Bonito - no dice), we went and found the Jacks. They ate very well and broke everything. Several took [...]
Memorial Day weekend...what a weekend....we had good fishing but very rough seas off the beach. Inshore the spanish were plentiful and even a few Bonito were still to be had at the wrecks! With the light east winds, both saturday and sunday (and the later we had already learned our lesson...), we decided to chase [...]
Not fishing related, but pretty cool. Saw this guy down the street from my house, feeding in a cut field. They're a very rare sight in NC as we're at least 2000 miles out of the flyway. He was also huge - about 5-6 foot tall and easily had 1-2 foot on a great blue [...]
5/16 - Today I had regular Gregg and one of his employees. When it comes to Bonito, Gregg has about the worse luck of any client I have ever had chase them. The first three years he tried to get out for them he got blown out each time. The fourth year we finally got [...]
After several more days of GALE FORCE WINDS, we finally got another window to fish. I had some regulars again to day - the Barnes crew - and they were DUE for a good day. It was way too rough in the morning but come afternoon it got very, very nice. We decided to fish [...]
