This morning I took my darling Katie fishing - I've been so busy, she's only been able to get out once with me this entire spring! Unfortunately, we slept in for a bit and made it out a bit late - that fact, however, didn't matter in the slightest. On the way out, there was [...]
Went out this evening for a couple of hours wiht my buddy Captaing Gordon Churchill. We went back to the marsh to do some looking for reds - it didn't take long. We fished for around an hour with us landing 5 between the two of us - except for one that went around 15 [...]
Two slips down from me, Captain Bobby Edwards runs Atlantis Dive Charters. They never fail to amaze me with the incredible stuff they bring in - coolers full of big spiny lobster, lots of hog snappers, grouper, big flounder...you name it. He also always trolls during the surface interval (time between dives)! Today the divers [...]
This morning I took out Craig, Jack and Aaron of the New Bern Saltwater Fishing Club - my absolute favorite fishing club :D After a day of warm south winds, the weather decided to switch on us - we were greated early with a steady 15 knot NE Wind. The conditions were pretty choppy and [...]
This evening I had the pleasure of fishing with Chris and Bill, aka "kansas sea legs" - two young docs from Greenville. By the time we got underway the afternoon sea breeze was blowing up some sloppy 2-4 footers but these two boys were warriors. These two guys could throw a stingsilver with precise accuracy [...]
This morning I took out Richard and Donna to chase a few of those tasty Atlantic Bonito. One of my many "rescheduled from april" dates, but things finally came together - the seas were flat calm all morning. The fishing was steady - we managed some Bonito casting and a few "light tackle trolling." In [...]
This morning was day 2 with Dennis from Indiana - the bite was good this morning and the water was a slick as I've seen it all day. Easily the prettiest day of the year so far! Having caught a bunch on spinning tackle yesterday, Dennis wanted to concentrate on fly fishing in the early [...]
his afternoon I was lucky enough to finally have some time to fish with my Dad (as I have been booked solid). We decided to check out the Bonito scene and search for an afternoon bite. The water was slick calm without a boat in site, and after several 2-3lb bluefish, my Dad hooked himself [...]
Today was day 1 with Dennis from Indiana - and we were in search of the ever-present and extremely fun Atlantic Bonito. Again, today, the bite was subsurface and we never once saw a single Bonito break the surface. However, within 15 seconds of putting a bait in the water we had a nice "Bone" [...]
