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 [...]
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 [...]
