Rigged up

Spent some time on my rods, reels, and tackle today.  I’ve got a few trips this week so I’ll have some reports for you – good or bad.   The reds have been a little frustrating lately, here one day and gone the next.  Similar to the beginning of last season.  Got a couple other options so we’ll see how it goes!  Thanks for checking – call me and lets book your trip.

Looking good

Looking like we are going to enjoy this class of redfish for one more year in the sounds.  We saw some big schools today in a few different places.  A little tricky to get to eat, but that’ll improve with the water temps.  The versatility of the Action Craft Coastal Bay 2310 is blowing my mind.  I was floating in a foot of water today. Stoked!

Quick n’ cloudy

My Pops came down for some breakfast and to visit with my girls.  We chowed down on some Henry’s and hung with the little ones for a while.  I threw out the idea of looking around for some reds before he headed back to Va.  Well, we found em!

Game on

My Pops came down this morning to hop on the maiden voyage of my new boat.  It was mainly a boat ride, but of course we had to go look for some fish.  We slipped into a little spot and picked up 3 beautiful over slot reds.  Good time.  It’s time to go fishin’

New boat!!! Snook & Tripletail too

I drove to FL again on Monday night / Tuesday  to go check out a boat.  It was love at first sight!  After an hour and a half with her, I decided it was time to tie the knot.   I am so stoked to bring to you guys the Action Craft Coastal Bay 2310TE. This boat is hands down the PERFECT boat for inshore / nearshore fishing on the Outer Banks. It has tons of room at 24′ long with higher then average gunnels for a bay boat.  It has front and rear casting decks, plenty of comfortable cushioned seating, a bathroom for my family trips, super shallow draft, power pole, trolling motor, the list goes on and on, but the bottom line is you just have to book with me and experience this thing for yourself!

While I was down in SW Florida I decided to bring my kayak.  After the boat thing I launched and caught my very first (and second) snook! WOW! I wish we had these fish here.  They run, jump, flip, twist, and everything you want in a game fish.  Good times!

Next, I met up with my buddy Alex at Local Lines Charters in Merritt Island FL and we did some triple tail fishing.  Another first for me and I got to check it off the list!  I had a blast with Alex, and I highly recommend him if  you are down that way.

PS: Look for some much better photos of the boat as well as a video feature.  First things first, shes getting wrapped! We may not catch the most fish, but we will look the best doing it, HA!!!!
