11/2 – HOLY CRAP WHAT A DAY
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 were supposed to go out [...]
11/10 – Albies on the fly
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 - we got a few [...]

11/1 – ALL THE KINGS YOU WANT
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 he wanted the whole shebang [...]
10/30 – Even more specks!
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 first 2 hours, we boated [...]
