5/6 - After several days of severe (and often gale-force) south winds, we finally had a short fishable window. I have to admit, i was not keen on fishing today and would have probably cancelled in a heart beat but the fish had been there and Bruce (and his wife) REALLY wanted to go as [...]
The wind started to blow again from the south, and as it picked up - so did the fishing. The Southwest winds brought in the bait and the predators were fast on their tails. 5/1 - I had a great time, AS ALWAYS, with Hardy and Phil today. As always - great company and awesome [...]
Sometimes they bite - sometimes they don't. We had one of the most incredible stretches of weather this past week as it was SLICK CALM from 4/23 to 4/28. I mean SLICK. After three days of good fishing, everything seemed to slow down, spread out and shut down. It was like being in a stagnant [...]
After a few days of gale conditions, the ocean let up and we were able to get out and chase after the Bonito. I had clients lined up and we were good to go. While the fishing was not RED HOT, it was very steady and we were averaging about 6-8 Bonito each morning. We [...]
I had heard of them out of Wilmington for a week or so, but Charles got lucky and we were actually able to get some decent weather and get out and look for the buggers. The SSTs looked good and Charles was ready to take a bit of a gamble. It was slick-calm, over-cast and [...]
Speckled trout are always pretty fickle, and this spring is no different - they came at us in waves Most days we would pick away at a few but they would go crazy the day before a front would roll through, and I had a few days that we just wacked them. Unfortunately I was [...]
We had a great time during late March and early April targeting Big Trout (2-4lbs on avg.), flounder and reds of all sizes in the backwater creeks. Great, very protected fishing in the early (and typically windy) spring months. Everything was caught on artificials - mirrolures, popping corks rigged with halo shrimp and gulp pogies. [...]
Ty, who has been hunting with me for the past three youth days, was rarin' to go again this year. We had decent weather - a chilly morning and a bit of stiff wind but it did not happen for us like I would have liked. Being it was so windy first thing, we had [...]
I didn't do much with the reports page this year, mainly because we booked the days we wanted as we only guide 4 days per week as we want to rest our best blinds and better take advantage of the best weather (aka, shuffling days if possible. It's also because I wanted to cut down [...]
Wow - what a nasty month. The fish were there, when the weather would actually cooperate long enough to let us get out. A typical pattern this year was blow 30 knots for 2 days, 1 decent day of fishing, 1 good day of fishing...and then it was blowing 30 again. I even had to [...]
