Had a regular crew today / Durham boys who just keep me laughing all day. Bonito didn't happen but Jason managed a fat albert and roger a big Spanish. Bonito are still here but north winds are not conducive to a good bonito bite. Our primary focus was flounder - we found them good. 12 [...]
Sometimes the bonito just disappear, and the slowest days happen to the nicest people. It's the hardest part of my job and I am so grateful for clients like Alex and Jeff and Nicole - people who understand. For a month the fishing was great, and the last two days were just horrible. Sometimes the [...]
It's been windy the last week - really windy. Today Tom and Tim got a bit of a morning reprieve and we has light SW winds for a few hours. Without a boat in sight we found acres of bonito. They busted for hours and the fish were scattered over acres and acres of water. [...]
Bonito fishing the past few years has been pretty so-so, but this year is really bringing back old times. Good consistent fishing. Yesterday was a great morning - Kyle and Kim got to witness some of the best Beaufort inlet bonito of the past 5 years. They tore up the surface for the better part [...]
The last week has been good for Atlantic bonito - one of my favorite fish to catch! It was so warm I thought they would show early, but they showed at the sand time they do every year...right around april 12-15th. Sometimes tides, currents and length of day are as important as anything else for [...]
It's been a warm winter and even a warmer spring and thinks have gotten off to a good start. The flounder bite is picking up quickly - we had about 6 good keepers (and lost many more) this past Saturday. Lots of bluefish onshore and AB excellent sea mullet bite is currently happening near the [...]
I had a great time with Steve and porter today - it started off cold, windy and slow. It took us a while but once the wind started to lay down and we started to get bit. Weekend is gonna be slick!
Clear water, lots of bait and excellent water temps…and few if any albies. What gives? Weather was great and John struck again boating a good fish but we're still going to trout fish some tomorrow!
.…and as tough as it's been, that's saying something. Calm and quite dead today until a few fish started showing late in the afternoon. Hit a couple bites and john got his. Good trout bite today in the jetties and surf - may try that tomorrow if the Albies don't show.
…for convincing me to take y'all out. Me :It's pouring rain, there's a big ground swell and the wind is going to start howling in the next several hours" Brant: "Sounds like a great day for an adventure lets go!" But he was right - we got on a pretty decent trout bite first thing [...]
