I took out Kay and Greg hoping to teach them a little bit about catching speckled trout on artificials in the marhses and local holes. As they learned, you don't have to toss live shrimp at the cape lookout rock jetty to catch specks! The bite was on early and we were hooking up on [...]
This morning was just one of those days - one of those perfect fall days like you wish everyday would be like. Not working today (What's wrong with you folks - the fish is GREAT), katie and i were supposed to meet up with scott at one of our favorite speckled trout holes. We all [...]
With these dropping water temp and the beautiful water clarity -- the speckled trout fishing is TAKING OFF. You've seen the other reports and i'm to add to the pile. Every trip to the marsh and other various locations is producing many, many nice specks. GRubs, mirrolures - it doesnt matter. The fish are big, [...]
The only way to describe saturday was TOUGH. Blowing 20-25knots from the Northeast, the waters were bumpy and the albies should have been showing. With a blow like that and water temps dropping, we were expecting some albies to start balling up. I had George II and George IIV aboard - and they were true [...]
After a morning spent fishing for kings and albacore (landed two big albies and a nice king) with my buddy Captain Scott of [url]www.shacklefordcharters.com[/url], we decided to head back in the marsh to get into some of the specks and puppy drum working the grasses. We worked jigs (didn't much feel like live-baiting today) along [...]
The funny thing about the king bite lately is that it's been extremely hot - but very spotty at the same time. Basically this means that one day the cape has an amazing bite, a couple of days later the barge wreck will be on fire then 315 - and so on. I keep up [...]
As I was the featured guest on Dr Bogus' radio show this morning (every monday at 7:30am on 107.3FM), I did not have a charter booked. After having a great time discussing albies and kings, I took out my lady and her mother who is in town visiting. We had a great time catching 1-3lb [...]
On Friday the 9th, I had the pleasure of taking out Steve and his two work buddies Brenden and Joel - both of whom had never really fished saltwater before. Within minutes of leaving the inlet we were into albies - albies that were biting readily. Steve, a great fisherman, caught a big houndfish and [...]
I had an inkling that with the cold front and nice NE Blow that my favorite buddies - the false albacore - would be back on the beaches. I walked out on the beach to take a look at the surf and low and behold - their were alberts right behind the surf line. I [...]
Today was an interesting day, to say the least. The fishing was not hot and heavy but all the bites we got were solid, awesome fish - to top it off we saw just about every weird sight you can imagine - all of this will be explained in my following narrative. David and his [...]
