It was a beautiful day - mid-february and we were fishing in short-sleeves! After a brief south blow, the winds died come sunrise and left the ocean with a beautiful glassy swell. Since one of my "make-up" charters couldn't make it out today, Captain Scott Crocker and myself decided it would be time to go [...]
Tuesday 12/28 - I was having some routine maintenance done on my boat when I heard of a good striper bite. I got the boat in the water and made the tail end of the bite - pulled in two nice fish very quickly and had a really nice fish break the line after about [...]
First CL Striper of 2004...
Today I took out Madison from Greenville for some speck fishing lessons - we've spent a couple of weeks trying to get our schedules too align and after one weather related cancellation we finally made it happen. It was beautiful december morning - flat calm with a glassy swell and in the 70s. A december [...]
It's been awhile since I posted a report - mainly because the weather was bad during thanksgiving and i haven't taken many pictures of the fishing I've done.

I know I've said this several times before, but this year has had some of the most amazing days of false albcore action that I (and many others) have ever seen. Giant baitballs, thousands of fish - you name it the action is incredible. Today was the hallmark of this season (so far). I went [...]
Today was a great day, with some great company - I took out Steve and Rett of New Bern - offshore fisherman who are really wanting to learn the ways of the inshore fisherman. Steve was stoked about learning to catch speckled trout as well as some puppy drum - if the conditions allowed. Well, [...]
Today was day 2 with Greg and Pat of the Virginia fly fishers and we were after more albies on the fly. The fish were a bit less scattered that Tuesday the 16th but still hard to get on. But. I combined some creative driving with general knowledge of albacore behavior (which i owe mostly [...]
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), [...]
