Good Company

Had a great group of guys with me today.  We were greeted with calm conditions, a killer sunrise, and an average trout bite.  Would have loved to put these guys on a red hot bite, but they fished hard for 10 fish today.  Something had the trout lock jaw, but we did manage 5 keepers with a couple of them coming on topwater which is always fun.   We talked fishin’ and just simply enjoyed the solitude that can be found in our wonderful backwaters of the outer banks.  Come get away from the hustle and bustle of summer on the OBX and spend a day on the water with Salt Minded Fishing Charters!

Mixed blessing

I had 3 adults and 3 young fellas with me this morning.  The goal was to get some pullage for the young guys and try to round up enough fish for dinner.  Well, after about the third cast of the trip we hook into a 20″ trout and the 6 year old Tommy gets to real it in.  Needless to say, that set the bar pretty high for the rest of the trip.  We managed about 6 nice trout all over 18″ for about an hour in that same area and each kid got to wind a couple in.  The trout bite quickly died off and we went 30 minutes without a bite. Apparently that is just shy of eternity for 8 year olds.  We switched gears and got the bottom rigs out.  After pulling on some croakers, pinfish, and sea mullet for a while we head back to the trout hole to see if we can get a couple more.  They didn’t cooperate as we got a few bites but no more hook ups.  Still a fun trip with the youngins’ and I know they will enjoy their trout dinner! Thanks for fishing with me, come back next year and do it again!

Nice red

Went fun fishing with my uncle this afternoon.  It was slow but we managed to hook 2 nice trout that shook off at the boat.  This 22″ red made it in to the box though!

Pickin’ at keepers

I had 4 stream trout anglers from WV with me this morning.   We picked at the trout all morning.  It is pretty rare that once you catch one, that you dont pick off a few more nearby.  That wasn’t the case this morning.  The fish bit 15 minutes apart all morning.  Luckily, it was a nice class of fish and most of them went into the box. Also, managed a 20″ drum and pulled off a mystery fish that was screaming drag right under the boat. It stayed just out of sight so we never got a look at it.  Caught a flounder that was just undersized too. 10 keeper trout and 1 keeper drum should be enough for a tasty dinner!  Thanks for fishing with me this morning guys, maybe we will see ya next year!

Boatload of fun

I had a group of 6 with me this morning to dodge the rain clouds and catch some dinner.   I decided to put out at a different ramp this morning because the wind was 15mph stronger then it was supposed to be.   We caught 25-30 trout alot of throwbacks but we did manage 8 into the box with a couple pretty fish over 2lbs.   These guys had a blast catching fish with some good ol fashion friendly competition on the fish counts.  I think Lexi had all the guys beat with probably 8 or 9 fish.  We caught a couple puppy drum in the mix too.  Thanks alot for coming out and fishing with me this morning, hope to see you next year!
