Today is my only day off this week - so i do what a guide does on his off - GO FISHING. I persuaded "Trophy Trout Hunte Katie" to take a day off to fish, as the weather was gorgeous and I needed to do a little recon for my upcoming charters. We got a [...]
Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Greg and Pat of the Virginia fly-fishers club. As a good friend of mine would say - a prince and princess among men and women. As far as albacore goes, today was TOUGH. The fish should have been showing with the north winds (and all the bait), [...]
I took out Kevin and DJ - fisherman who frequent the areas of the western pamlico in hopes of tracking down some of those big specks. We worked a lot of my favorite holes hard - and we managed a very good first hour of fishing and a very last hour of fishing (always good [...]
With NE winds blowing 20-30knots, the conditions were not favorable for fly casting to albacore so I decided to go trout fishing with my two best buds - my fiance katie and Scott Crocker of www.shacklefordcharters.com. So we loaded up on live shrimp and headed out around 8:30am. Before trying some trout holes, we popped [...]
Day two with Richie from Monroe, NC started off as what could have been a bust - since i couldnt vote early (charters every day), I had to get to the polls before we went out. Well, the lines were long and i didnt get to the slip until close to 7:30am - YIKES. We [...]
I took out Ralph today - a seasoned stealhead fisherman who really wanted to add the albie to his list of conquered species. We chased some fish in the inlet - got one hookup in 6 feet of water before moving on down the beach. The hook was an absolute zoo of boats and guides [...]
I took out Ben and his Buddy on Sunday morning - both offshore fisherman but love their trout and wanted to learn a little bit about catching speckled trout on artificials - general things, areas. what to look for, etc. Ben brought along a few bags of those new Berkeley GULP Baits and i have [...]
Sometimes, even when you "fish" for a living, it's important to take a day off to spend time with those who are very important to you. My fiance Katie was extremely jealous of my trip to the east side earlier in the week (you know, the one with the two kings in the 40s and [...]
Richie from Monroe, NC booked me in order to get a little jump start on the saltwater fishing learning curve. Tired of the over-pressured bass lakes of southern NC, Richie got himself a really salty, new boat and had not much success as of late. So he hired me for two full days - and [...]
Today was another "specktacular" day of speckled trout fishing - and i took out Joey and Don in order to teach them a bit about both navigating the marshes and pulling those specks in on artificials. Like the day before, we were catching fish within minutes of pulling up to the first hole. Within the [...]
