I had Stevie, David, Jack, and Ken with me this morning. We caught a bunch of trout right out of the gate. The catch of the day was Stevies pretty striper that ate a gulp shrimp. Great fight on light tackle! A very enjoyable morning with great conditions and great company. Call me to book your trip the fish are biting! (252)455-9790
I had Hunter and his crew this morning for some speckled trout fishing. We had great action from start to finish as we limited out on specks. We also found a nice keeper drum in the mix. We spent last hour of the trip trying for a flounder. We hooked one but it was about 8 inches. Thanks guys!
In the afternoon I had Todd and his stepson Dustin on board with me to get off land and put some meat in the box. We had alot of action, but the fish shrunk from this morning so alot of them were short strikes or non keepers. We ended up with enough for dinner, but plenty of smiles and a great memory for them. Thanks a lot, lets do it again guys!
Fished with Matt this morning scouting out some new locations and checking up on some old honey holes. Both produced and we caught a variety of fish including trout, flounder, stripers, spot, croakers, and pinfish. We also tried a few different lures and techniques that paid off too. Sometimes you just gotta try some new stuff. Give me a call to book your trip – (252)455-9790!
It is a Fathers Day tradition for Matt and I to spend the day fishing with our ole man. We were shooting for Sunday, but the weather ended up looking much better for Saturday. We got up at 0300 and headed for Rudee Inlet to hop on the “Fresh & Salt” and head offshore. We were greeted with some 4 foot chop on our ride out which made our 85 mile run to the 750 line due east of Oregon Inlet a lengthy one. We arrived to fishing grounds and set out our spread. It didn’t take long for all six rods go down at once. The line broke on one of the rods, but we did manage to get five tuna in the box. We picked at the mahi and managed one more single hookup on a yellowfin a little later in the morning which ended up being the biggest of the day. We knew we had a long ride home so we put her in the wind and started making our way back around 1300. After getting back to the dock and cleaning the fish, we headed over to Rudee’s restaurant to cheers a cold beer to another great Fathers Day in the books. Threw together a little clip as well, Enjoy! Photos by Matt Lusk
I recently purchased myself a new (to me) boat. I have instantly fallin’ in love! It is a 22′ Cape Craft Bay with 150 Yamaha. It also has a wireless trolling motor which now, I don’t think I could ever fish without. Matt, Ken, and myself decided to run it out of the inlet on Wednesday to see if we could get in on the HOT cobia action. We saw our first pair of cobia about 5 minutes after I brought it off plane. The conditions on the ocean were absolutely as good as it gets with light and variable winds, a small rolling swell, and crystal clear skies. Matt is up on the front and he spots a cow about 50 yards away. With a perfect cast the fish turns on the bucktail and its game on! We get it to the boat and into the box. The first cobia on the new boat is a nice 60 pounder, and a great way to get the day started. While fighting that fish we had another one approx the same size swim right up to the boat. It turned on the lures but then turned away and down to the depths never to be seen again. Probably not the worst thing to happen as we needed to focus on getting the one we already had hooked into the box. We continue to see more fish throughout the morning sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. We caught a total of 7 cobia and we kept 5. Boat performed great and I can’t wait to get back out there!
