Multi-day report
Been running a few trips lately – the fish are still chomping… We have been mixing in the speckled trout early morning before heading to the drum beating grounds. A few shots from some of my recent trips.

Back from Nova Scotia
Hello out there! I just got back from an awesome vacation with my wife to beautiful Nova Scotia. We did some sight seeing, hiking, and stuffed our faces with some delicious seafood. It was a nice kidless getaway as we were both in need of some “disconnecting” after a busy summer.
Well, I’m back – and I actually have quite a few charters lined up. Stay tuned for some reports! Here are a few shots from our trip. Thanks for checking!
Fall Fun
I had Josh and company yesterday morning for a 3/4 day trip. We ended up with a decent , we didn’t set the world on fire, but we caught plenty of fish. It just seemed like every bite was 15 minutes apart. We caught a handful of drum, specks, greys, skate, pig fish, pin fish, lizard fish, and I’m probably missing some other random species in there. Enjoyable day with this crew – thank you guys for fishing with me! Here is one of Joshs over slot drum that had some serious shoulders on him. Beautiful fish!
Heading to Nova Scotia tomorrow for a short getaway with my wife! I will be back on the 22nd. Plenty of open dates in October. The rest of September is almost slam full. Call me to book your trip!
Pamlico giants *video*
I had the pleasure of joining Capt Bryan Dehart for some fun on the Pamlico River today. The ultimate goal of the trip was to do some aerial photographs on a lot listings of his. For those of you who don’t know, I do alot real estate photography in the “off season.” I can’t pay the bills with just fishing……. yet!
Bryan offered up the chance to hang in to a few monster Pamlico Drum before we headed over to the track of land to get some shots. Of course, he didn’t have to ask me twice. We headed out on a slick calm morning and got it done. Bryan knows the area very well, and put us right on the fish. I do not run charters out there, but if you are interested then I can certainly hook you up with Bryan – he is first class. It didn’t take long before the rods were doubled over. We ended up cranking on 9 fish before we decided to wrap it up and head to the lot. Thank you Byran!!! Awesome day. Since I had all the equiptment I went ahead and took some quality photos and video while we were fishing. Enjoy!
September / October
Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean Salt Minded Charters has to end. This year I will be keeping the boat on the Elizabeth River from October until March. If you are interested in catching big Speckled Trout then give me a call and book your trip.
I will be fishing on the Outer Banks through the end of September. This is a great time to visit the Outer Banks. Less traffic, cooler weather, and the fishing gets even better! Give me a shout to book your trip – let’s go fishin’
