    Their Christmas...
    The boys wanted to try some tuna jigging today, and boy did we have action. A lot of it was albacore though, the conditions seemed fairly good but the albacore wouldn't leave us alone. The Sharks were manageable for once but they still claimed many victims and jigs. We did end up with a handful of tunas. These guys are hardcore and some of the best jig fisherman we have on the boat all year. And pretty good with a go pro too!

    Happy Thanksgiving!!!
    Down south we went looking around to see what we could find - box full of bottom dwellers. We started off looking for triggers and moved south and found some vermillions and sand tiles. The first few spots we hit today a 500lb tiger shark kept following us around and we just couldn't get rid of him I bet he has 10 bottom rigs in his mouth. If you want some excellent fish for the freezer triggerfish it is.
    Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    Slow start but a great finish
    We set out looking for kings today and boy did we ever look. We ended up picking up and running about 15 times the whole way up to the 300 line and after lunch time ran back to the 180 and found some feeeesh! Bo caught a 40lber and of course Sarah showed everyone up again with her skills!! And Jay took 45 minutes to reel in a 10lb King Mackeral. But we had fun and in the end the box was full. Brought in 10 kings and some amberjacks finished up the day.

    Kings Kings and Kings
    Bait was super easy to catch this morning and I was a little scared because when it's that easy to catch the fish don't cooperate. But we found enough action to stay busy, it wasn't fast and furious by no means but we ended up with a even dozen kings and a Blackfin. Lots of fish marks on the screen all day but they just didn't wanna bite very good. We had quite a few short bites and missed bites.

    Bottom fishing was great and then on to trolling
    Back to the south again to triggerfish with Tam and the boys. Man were they biting. We started off bottom fishing for about 30 minutes and the guys said 10 each was enough. I trolled the rest of the day to the northeast and found a few trolling bites when we got to the rockpile. Put some wahoos and tunas in the cooler before we finished up jigging around some wrecks .

    Nice 75lb Wahoo today
    We decided to go south today and bottom fish but I kept marking a lot of bait on the break so out went a few ballyhoo rigs and to my surpruse they were wahoo!! Dr. John caught a 75lber and a few more really nice fish around 50lbs. The second half of the day we spent catching triggerfish. And they were snapping! 4 at a time. I know what I will be eating for dinner!!!

    Swordfishing today
    We set out to swordfish this morning in a rather sporty ocean. I beat my way down to the 900 line and as soon as we hit bottom in 1500 ft on the first drop we hooked a big girl. After a long fight she came off right at the boat. The wind picked up and so did the current after that, which just makes it hard to fish in such deep water but we stuck it out until 3:00 and only had one more bite that we didn't connect with.

    Catching bait was easy, not so for the Kings
    Well bait was easy to catch this morning, and we headed to the 170's to look around for kings again. The only problem was the water was chocolate milk. From yesterday's big winds, we caught a king and bounced around on a few wrecks and caught some amberjacks. It was slow but the guys had fun pulling on something.

    Great choice in bottom fishing
    We caught live bait this morning and went looking for the Kings and tunas again. Only problem was the water was dirty and I knew we were in trouble. The bait marks were there and the net boats were seeing some fish in their nets, but with the dirty water and no bites at 11:00 we diced to bail out and go looking on the bottom around the 000. The triggers were hungry thank goodness!! Plan C worked, we caught a strange fish that I didn't even know what it was, and ended up with about 100 triggers. The boats that stayed live bait fishing each caught one fish. So I feel like we made the right call.

    Non-stop action
    What a crew today!! That's about all I can say! Dan the tuna man and Leon threw down the smack on plenty of kings. One stop with a cast net this morning and we were set with plenty of live bait. Non stop action all day from the time we set out. It was constant fish catching all day. Dan caught a 31lb Blackfin. And Dave caught a 45lb King. They were the trophy fish of the day.

    Kings and blackfins on live bait
    Tim and April took over today, and from the looks of it they had plenty of action. Some days during live bait season, bait can be difficult to find Tim said it took a lot of looking but they found it, and set out on the 170, in 100' of water. The bites came easily with 4 giant blackfins and a dozen kings. Nicole fished in high heels all day and I would have to say that's a first as I've never seen it before. Glad it was a slick calm day. With plenty of bites.

    Packing the box with Kings and Blackfin
    With the marks I was starting to see yesterday afternoon I decided to set out in the same area. First live bait in the water was eaten by a tuna and we had non stop action until 12.30. That's when the fish box lid wouldn't close. We caught a 52lber today, the biggest king of the season for us. There was a tournament today and I bet I saw 100 center consoles. I'm sure it took a big fish to win it, but this 52lber would have been in the money!!

    Winds were howling today
    Ricky and the boys braved a windy day. It started off howling from the SW then switched to the NW. We went live baiting but the Kings didn't wanna cooperate. We did catch 5 big ol' fat blackfins and 1 King. At the end of the day things started to really come together and we had a few bites but couldn't hold on to anything. Thanks for the sinkers Ricky.

    Limit of Kings on live bait
    Well Tim and my favorite time of the year has finally gotten here. Live bait season! We found live menhaden this morning and it didn't take long to find the action. The Kings were hungry but the tunas kept eating the baits also. They almost got to be a pain in the ass because it takes about 45 minutes to catch one on 20lb test but we are due and found a limit of kings. Annette caught a 58lb wahoo as well. If you've never live bait fished before it's totally different that trolling ballyhoo. We almost drift the live menhaden over the fish. It's exciting and I love it!!!

    Well the mahi were plentiful this morning!! We found a change with grass on it in 80 fathoms that was holding a real nice class of dolphins with some gaffers mixed in as well. The Jeffs and Russ and his wife put the smack down on them. I fished up over the rocks but there were no tunas home so we finished out the day king Mackeral fishing on the 180 in 100' of water. The Kings showed up today lets hope they stick around!!!

    Looked for tuna but found mahi
    We headed up the beach this morning looking for tuna. The conditions were good and I thought we would get wammed at any time but 2 singles and a Blackfin is all we could muster up. I went offshore looking around and found a grass line with mahi in it!! Thank goodness they were thick and willing to bite. We ended up on the 400 line as the current was screaming but we did get 60 and a few gaffers too.

    First time out since Hurricane Matthew
    Well Hurricane Matthew destroyed Hatteras village. It blew 100 mph and we had 6' of saltwater on the entire island. Many homes got destroyed and lots of damage was done. We finally got back out today and found a rough ocean but there were some bites to be had. Some yellowfin, mahi, wahoo, and a sail rounded it out for us. The channel is a mess instead of getting deeper it got shallower.

    Hurricane Matthew
    Although Hurricane Matthew was the first Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane in 2016, by the time it came to the Outer Banks it was transitioning from a Category 1 hurricane to a post-tropical depression. Here is a picture of the surf at the Frisco pier this afternoon. Since the boats haven't been able to get to the Gulf Stream to fish the last few days, we look forward to getting out there soon to fill the box. Although this was a Category 1 hurricane, the storm still brought a significant amounts of water onto Hatteras Island and into the villages. This storm will be remembered for decades to come.

    Steve and Liz braved a rough one today. They are from Idaho and wanted to see what the Gulf Stream looked like. Well it was blowing 25 out of the northeast and rough as a corncob. We checked in around 8:00, and headed home around 10:00. They said they had enough fish to eat for dinner. They saw the Gulf Stream and were happy! Mission accomplished.

    Hide and seek with the tuna today
    We hooked a left this morning and headed up the beach looking for tuna. We looked and looked and looked. Without any bites by lunch time, I picked back up and headed south to the 280 and found some birds where the yellowfins covered us up. We caught 4 and the next few circles the big skipjacks and Blackfin found us. We were out in 300 fathoms and started toward home . We found a tree at 2:30 and finished off the day with 1/2 a limit of dolphins.

    A sailfish on the wall
    The day started off with lots of action. The first bait out was eaten by a wahoo, the 2nd bait out was eaten by a mahi. We fished along a current edge on the 140 for awhile and caught another wahoo and some more mahi but then it started to slow down. We worked offshore and Jean caught her first sailfish! She got it mounted and it's gonna look great in the wall!! We finished the day off with another wahoo and some storms were moving in and we made it to the dock just in time.

    Make-up day
    Cheryl, Steve, Dave, and River joined us today on a makeup trip we put together. The weather was nice and the fish were biting! I started off on the 230 and fished up to the 300 and could barely get a bait out without a Blackfin tuna eating it. We caught 20 or so and then fished around some wrecks and found silver snapper, sea bass, and amberjack. There was a grass line in 20 fathoms on the way home that had some mahi on it. We caught a few but ran outta time.

    Tam and the gang joined us today. He had 2 guys fly in from Vietnam as it was their first time offshore and boy did they crush it! It seems like every time Tam comes he has to go to the hardware store and buy more coolers well he showed up today with the biggest Yeti cooler they make. Bigger than his truck bed! I told him that was a jinx and we probably wouldn't catch anything. We picked away at the tunas this morning and got lucky and found a makeshift boat on the way home home with mahi on it. And yes we filled up the new $1,000 cooler!!! Gonna hafta get a special order to have a bigger one next time Tam!!! We ended up with blackfins, mahi, and amberjack.

    The ocean was rough as hell today! A northeast wind and current is never good, but we managed. It was so rough that we never made it to the blue water but there were enough bites in the green water to keep us out there until 2:00. An overall consensus today was it was rough as shit!!!!

    Triggerfish and snappers were chewing today
    Down south we headed this morning in search of wahoos. I set out on the 900 and we caught one as soon as we set out, but that was it. We made it down to the 800 and the current was minimal and a lot of bottom marks kept coming up on the machine so we tried it and the triggerfish and snappers were chewing!! Cedric and the boys started bailing them 2 and 3 at a time. The guys were wore out after a few hours so we went back to trolling. On the way back up the beach there was an edge with some mahi on it and we bailed enough to finish off the fish box.

    The current was screaming this morning up to the east. We never crossed a change so I just set out on the 230 Rock. We picked away at some single tuna bites and a pack of sails jumped up as well. We hung on to 1 out of 3. We ended up with a catch of tunas. But the trophy fish today was the sail!

    Blackfins are on the menu
    No boats have been out the last 2 days due to strong south east winds so no body knew what to expect. As good as the wahoo fishing was I expected it to be the same but the hot 83 degree water and current pushed in over the bottom. Either the wahoos high tailed it somewhere else or they just wouldn't bite. We found a few mahi in the grass this morning and finished up on the 230 Rock in 3 knots of current this afternoon picking away at the blackfins.

    Fishing again for wahoo
    Back after the wahoos. We started on the rockpile and there were tons of bait marks,. I kept thinking we would get covered up by wahoos but that was not the case. A few bites this morning then a long dry spell until 2:30 when we caught a double header and 2 singles in the same circle. It seemed like a slow day but we ended up pulling the rabbit outta the hat at the end. We had 2 citations and a lone gaffer as well.

    The water we've been fishing in moved up to the east and hot water with current pushed in down below. But that's ok because up to the eastern we headed. We ended up fishing around the 350-400 and caught 5 single yellowfins, a few blackfins, and also 2 wahoos. The suprise of the day was a sailfish eating the teaser as we sat still fighting a wahoo. Yep we caught him too.

    I had an uneasy feeling about the wahoos today, so Tim and I decided to try tuna fishing. Glad we did because the wahoo weren't biting all that great from what I could tell on the radio. Yellowfins and blackfins filled us up today. And a few gaffers off a tree stump. Great catch guys!

    Today was a no brainier...back to the rockpile and see if the wahoos wanted to bite. We set out on the 080 and they were there!! Doubles, singles, and a triple header to end the day. A few really nice ones as well. We had 2 that went 50lbs and the rest were over 30!! As Tim put the last one in the boat Jeff said lets go home and watch football! I think we missed kickoff but we made it before the first quarter ended!

    One off of a trash can slam
    Back down south again this morning looking for wahoo. It started off slow as everyone set out where the fish were yesterday. Well they moved about 15 miles north and by the time we got on them at noon they were snapping. We caught an easy limit and Michael almost finished off his trash can slam with a barracuda, albacore, just missing his amberjack!! Maybe we will get him next time. The fish ended up being around the rockpile. Let's hope they stick around again tomorrow.

    We headed pretty far south this morning in hopes of finding cleaner water. The change crossed over in about 50 fathoms with pretty water on the outside and the wahoos were snapping! We caught a sailfish and a few mahi. The best of the wahoo fishing was around the 930. I sure hope they are there in the morning!

    The green water pushed out farther today and wiped out the wahoo fishing on the rockpile. So we kept on going until I found the blue water edge in 150 fathoms. It looked good with grass and bait but we only found one school of mahi with a few gaffers in the mix. A lone yellowfin and a Blackfin found the fish box also.

    Great day to end tilefish/grouper season
    Brian and his son joined us today and Liam caught 5 limits himself! We started out to the east with 28 mahi, and fished to the south. Nice with 3 wahoos finding us on the way to the tilefish grounds. With today being the last day of grouper/tilefish season I made sure I killed getting the last limit I could this season. That makes almost a perfect tilefish season. We caught a limit every day it was open this year except 2. And those 2 days we didn't even try it. We ended the day with Liam catching an amberjack!

    Beating the storm
    We tried to sneak the day in before the storm swell got too big. Twila has been fishing with us for quite some time and it doesn't bother her how rough it gets, but the swell was building a lot faster than I expected and I wanted to get in the Inlet before the tide turned and started going out against the swell. We fished for about 2 hours and caught 2 wahoos. And no the picture of her and her daughter is not from the ocean, haha. I slowed down in the sound and took it. Looks like we will miss the next few days due to weather.

    Rough bottom fishing but still able to place 'em in the box
    The day started off with a bang as we hit 3 wahoo first thing this morning. One was a citation 45lber. The boys really wanted to bottom fish so we ventured offshore and looked around on the bottom. There was a ton of current which made for a difficult situation, but we still managed a dozen with a few over 10lbs. With 4 knots of tide makes bottom fishing nearly impossible. But we made the most of it!

    Gotta be where they are to catch them
    Down the beach we headed this morning in search of wahoos! Well that was the wrong decision. For the first 20 minutes I had to listen to the radio talk of all the wahoo bites to the northeast. So we cranked them up and ran 25 more miles. If your not in the fish, I guarantee you'll never catch them. We got set back out on the 200 line and started to get bites immediately. We caught 5 out of about 8 bites and saw a sailfish as well. It was flat calm and cool for a change!

    Double header catch on the salefish
    Today my daughter April worked as mate on the Good Times with Tim as the acting captain. Figured to see what they could find. They started off where the wahoos were yesterday but Tim said it was dead so he worked south and had quite a few bites but just couldn't hold onto them. They did find 3 though. A few Blackfin tunas and some tilefish. But they highlight of the day was a double header sailfish release they caught around 1:00.

    Great day for hauling in wahoo, tilefish, and mahi
    Jason and the boys from Fillsburg wanted to catch wahoos and tilefish! So we started out shallow up on the edge of the shoals and started to pick away at the wahoos. A few singles and 2 doubles kept us busy most of the morning. We boxed 9 and headed off to look around in the bottom for tilefish. There was a strange SE current that may have had them not biting but as we were drifting a school of mahi swam up to the boat. We did pretty good for having 4 bottom rods out in 700feet. Bailed about 30 before the tilefish got up. Not a bad day. That's why you fish, never know what you'll catch. We picked up to come home from 30 miles!

    Love it when a plan comes together
    Well today's plan was to head up above the 300 line where we can keep 15 sea bass per person. That changed when we rounded the shoals and it was blowing 25 out of the NE! So we put out the trolling spread and headed offshore to look around. Luckily I spotted a pallet that was loaded up with mahi!! We bailed 60 and kept looking but didn't find much other than a few Blackfin tunas. The wind decided to fall out around noon and we caught a limit of bluelines. Funny how a plan can change so fast.

    Team accurate joined us today for some bottom fishing. So way south we went! It was a steady bite most of the day with a few very big triggers up to 9lbs. The triggers just haven't been close to Hatteras and we ended up picking up from 50 miles to come home. Sometimes you just gotta go where they live!

    Slick calm with nice wahoo and a sailfish
    Mike and Stacy have been fishing with us before but they brought their friends this time! The day started off slick calm and beautiful. I set out on the rockpile and I wouldn't call it red hot action but enough to keep us interested in staying there. A scattered wahoo which filled the box throughout most of the day. A triple header sailfish around noon was the icing on the cake. Stacy wanted to get her sail mounted. If there's any fish that deserves a spot on the wall it's a sail for sure. We are a gray taxidermy mount representative so Stacy was in luck!! I know it will look great on the wall.

    Wahoo made it hard to fish the bottom
    We set out in search of bottom fish this morning, but the water looked pretty around the 060 so I decided to dip a few ballyhoos and the wahoos ate 'em up!! We circled around and put 8 in the box before noon. I kept trying to get to the bottom and we finally did just in time to catch a limit of tilefish. Ten more days left in tilefish season, so we might as well make 'em pay while it's open!!

    Mahi to finish the day
    We stuck with the marlin fishing today until about 2:00 out in the deep with not much to show for it. Only 1 jumped off sailfish. There were a few marlin bites around today though. At 2:00 we bailed a limit of mahi and that was it for the day. There were some grass patches well offshore thankfully they were holding!

    And the wahoo thought he was a marlin
    What a struggle today was. We set out on the rockpile and fished straight off into the deep. Around 100 fathoms a 55 lb wahoo smoked a long rigger. At first I thought it was a blue marlin, but he calmed down and came in perfectly. We caught a few tilefish and picked around grass patches that should have had mahi in the but only caught one. I decided to troll back inshore and look around and we caught a double header wahoo to end the day.

    Limit of mahi and blueline tile
    With the current falling out I was sure the wahoos would bite today up around the shoals. Well wrong on that guess. We picked up and ran 20 miles south to where some grass patches were spotted and low and behold were holding mahi! We bailed a limit, and then without much else going on decided to put some more meat in the box. Blueline tilefish up to 12 pounds rounded it off nicely. Most of the boats caught a limit and headed home. Tim and I just like to catch more fish I guess. The boys ended up with enough fish to fry up back in Minnesota during the Packers game!!!

    Calm day and great fishing
    Ross and his family joined us today and it was about as calm as it gets. I started up on the edge of the shoals this morning where the wahoos were yesterday but the water was gord green and 4 knots of current, so we picked up and ran 20 miles south. We managed to find 3 wahoos and some tilefish. A few giant glass eye snappers as well. It was slick calm beautiful day for the lil guys and everyone earned a citation blueline tilefish.

    Tough day hooking the wahoo
    We headed south to try some bottom fishing this morning but the only problem was a current edge with 5 knots of tide. Well that pretty much threw that idea out the window. A boat was getting quite a few wahoo bites up on the shoals so we jumped in the current and headed that way. Well it seemed as if we had rubber hooks because we pulled 2 off on the leader and had a few more bites we didn't hang on too. But that's how wahoo fishing goes sometimes. I guess we were lucky to catch two!! Wahoo have a real bony mouth and are about as difficult to hook sometimes as a blue marlin.

    Filled the box today
    After the condition I saw yesterday starting to make up at the end of the day I knew there was going to be some mahi around today. Sea Creature was fishing a tournament today and before lines in he found a big school of fish so we ran straight to him and fished down a pretty grass edge. They wouldn't bite real good but we did capture 50 to take back to Hatteras! A few nicer ones and some jigging around a wreck on the way home finished off the box. Glad to see my little blue and yellow friends today!! Let's hope they stay around. That's why you never know what you'll find — wahoos one day, mahi the next!

    Rough day with a great catch
    It was a sloppy ride south this morning but it was worth it. I set out on first base and the wahoos were biting!! We picked around scattered bait marks and caught 5 out of a few more bites. It slowed down around noon so I figured not to troll for the rest of the day and catch nothing. So off to the bottom we went and caught some tiles and a grouper. When the trolling bite is over we just don't have the patience to stick with it knowing that we won't get any more bites, and in case you didn't know tilefish is the best fish to eat in the ocean. There was a pretty grass line making up at 3:00. I hope it's loaded with mahi tomorrow!

    Slow morning with some bites this afternoon
    Current! Current! Current! Currents is no good especially 5 knots of it. We set out in the shallows this morning as there were very scattered wahoo bites but we never got lucky. There was a pretty edge with grass on it but somebody forgot to tell the mahi to show up because we didn't have any bites in it either. Around lunchtime we decided to get the skunk out of the box and caught a few tilefish. We jigged around a wreck and added a few amberjack. Just as I thought we may go all day without a wahoo bite, at 2:00 we hooked one on the long rigger, and at 2:15 one ate the teaser and switched off to a short rigger thankfully!!

    First bait in with a nice wahoo
    The first bait in the water this morning was eaten by a wahoo. We caught him and put another bait out and a sailfish was all over it. I figured at that point the day was going to be on fire. Well that was it for the trolling bites. We did loose a pretty big mahi. The afternoon was spent bouncing around some wrecks and tile fishing.

    The fishing was hot today
    Hot!! And hot fishing as well! We set out in a dead looking ocean this morning on the triples. Without any bites I decided to head offshore and at least catch some tilefish for dinner before the season closes at the end of the month. A pretty good size blue marlin ate our teaser but never switched off and disappeared. Not long afterward a few sailfish jumped us and we caught 1 out of 2. He put on quite a show all lit up. The tile fish didn't seem to wanna bite very good but we did catch a limit plus a snowy and yellow edge grouper. At least we caught enough for dinner. As I trolled back inshore through the dead looking water we passed on the way out it came alive with bait and wahoos. We caught 3 outta 6 bites. Crazy how things change. As we were wrapping things up for the day I spotted a float that was loaded with mahi. A great way to end the day. Thanks for the fish guys!

    Great catches for 2-half day charters
    We had 2-half day charters today so instead of sticking close to to the beach with bluefish, we ventured off about 6-8 miles and found some nice fish on live bait. Some amberjack, 2 kings, and a gaffer rounded out the morning session. This afternoon young Colton put the hammer down on some big fish as well. And his brother caught a giant barracuda! Thanks guys!

    Great day trolling and bottom fishing
    We were the first boat out this morning and not knowing which way to go we headed to the weather buoy, It wasn't holding much but 8 mahi was better than none. I actually think we caught the only 8 in the fleet. I fished up the beach and had 5 or 6 wahoo bites catching 4 of them. A hungry sailfish found us as well in the upper 300's as we fished in the deep to find some tilefish. We haven't tile fished in the 300's since they opened the season but there was no shortage of them that's for sure. A couple 10lbers and plenty of small ones as well. Some blackfins and amberjack rounded out the day. The conditions were perfect today for swordfishing I just wish there was more time in a day of fishing. There's just so many options here and we try our best to catch everything. I think we need more hours of daylight!!!

    Bottom fishing was great as always
    It was blowing harder this morning than they forecasted to blow, but the guys wanted to give it a try anyways. I set out on the weather buoy and it was holding some mahi. Bigger than Bailers, I think Tim gaffed a few of them. We trolled down the beach and picked a few more up, but the radio chatter was slow with hardly any trolling bites so we went to the bottom and loaded down on some gigantic blue line tiles. If there's not much going on trolling I will not waste the whole day catching nothing. The 300lbs of tiles, grouper, and lesser jacks kept us busy for the afternoon. The wind started really breezing up around 2:00 and we headed home.

    Grass line and bottom fishing
    We decided to head way south in the lower 800's and look around on the bottom. Not many boats ever get that far down south from Hatteras, and it's a pretty good run out of Moorhead city so the bottom fish should be hungry right? Well we crossed an edge with some grass in it on the way down and messed around with the mahi for quite awhile this morning. By the time we finally got to where I wanted to fish it was getting late but they were there. The fish finder looked like a Christmas tree with all the marks and it didn't take long to catch an assortment of triggers, vermillions, and silver snappers.

    Giant squirrel fish, glass eyes snappers and more
    I headed down south this morning on an all day bottom fish trip. The tiles came easy and we found a limit rather quickly. We moved a little deeper and caught some gigantic squirrel fish the biggest I've ever seen. A snowy grouper and some glass eye snappers in the mix as well. It seemed like the crew was getting worn out from 800 feet so I moved shallower to look for triggers and vermillions. The catch of the day was a beautiful streamer bass. We haven't caught one in a few years. Tim has one mounted on his wall. They are just awesome looking! We ended the day catching some amberjack.

    Fishing after the storm
    There was a massive lightning storm this morning here in Hatteras and most boats bagged it for the day. Pauly wanted to try and leave around 11:00 after the storm passed so we snuck on out and found enough fish for dinner. A few tunas, tilefish, a grouper, and a sailfish!!

    Blue marlin and bottom fish on the list today
    You know you got the day made when your first bite is a blue marlin! A 250lber popped my shotgun bait out of the clip but disappeared. Tim drop back a long rigger and he ate it, only problem was it was the smallest Rod in the spread with a 60lb leader and 20lb main line. Well he put on quite a show and after an hour we got the leader on him. A beautiful healthy fish. The radio chatter seemed slow so we went to the bottom catching a stud snowy grouper and some blue line tilefish. A few rare ling were also brought up. We made it in just in time before a lightning storm hit.

    Salty southwestern with good return
    It was a salty southwester today, but we headed out about 150 degrees and hit some current thankfully. When you have a big southwest sea the gulf stream current can play a major role in determining sea conditions but thankfully there was 4 knots of tide and it laid down nicely. The first two baits in were attacked by big gaffers, almost thought it was May again. We picked away at the Dolphins as best we could and even found some fat tilefish as well.

    Nice day including a blue marlin
    We hooked a hard left at the inlet and headed up the beach towards the 400 line. There was an eel grass line in about 25 fathoms that's was holding some mahi and we picked away at them 2-3 at a time, including a few really nice gaffers for July fishing. We pulled a blue marlin off on the planer and finished up catching a few blue line tiles.

    Bottom fishing is where the biting was today
    Meat! We set out around the 080 this morning in hopes of a wahoo bite but that never happened. So with very little current and the conditions in favor of a swordfish drop we tried that. Well no bites on that either. I didn't give it much time but felt pretty confident in getting a bite. So plan B was to try the bottom in shallower and we found some giant blue line tiles, and a 43lb grouper. There was a pretty grass edge with some mahi on it but they just didn't want to bite anything. The 3 we caught we used a trout rod with 30lb test leader. They would come up and check us out and not eat anything-pretty strange for a mahi. Guess they are getting smarter than I think.

    We made our way down south this morning and found a few mahi on a weed line. It was pretty and loaded with bait. There should have been more but we still managed to catch 9. The radio chatter was slow so we ventured offshore to look around on the bottom. Yellow edge and snowy grouper as well as tilefish and rose fish found their way to the surface.

    I headed up the beach today too look around in the 400's. The first bite of the day was an acrobatic blue marlin that put on quite an air show. He took 400yds of line and broke us off. I hate it when that happens. He must have gotten tangled up in the main line because Tim had her hooked on 400lb test leader. We picked up a few mahi and found some giant blue line tiles. Everybody earned a citation. Some of the prettiest tiles I've seen in a long time.

Well as I approached the spot we found a log loaded up with bailers and some gaffers. Larry and the crew made short order of 25 and we started swordfishing. We never did get a bite but the conditions were good for it. A few quick stops and a limit of tilefish and a grouper found their way home to Hatteras as well.

    I was out of town again today and Tim and my daughter April decided to throw down the citations again!! The report was - first thing this morning they hooked a 300lb blue marlin and 13-year old Justice did a great job on the rod. A great healthy looking fish and it was Justice's first day offshore! She was a season pro on the penn 70w. Tim said he thought she had caught 50 before! They decided to go to the bottom where Tim has been finding some giant blue line tiles and everyone earned a citation. Little 8 year old Jacob caught a 50lb grouper!! Way to go li'l fellers!

    The guys today wanted to try out their new electric reels so I figured what better way than to stop on one of my favorite deep tile spots that I haven't fished in a few years. They were there and they were big ones too. Everyone caught at least 1 over 10lbs - by tilefish standards that's big. Li'l man caught a citation grouper and we trolled back inshore where the rest of the fleet was catching wahoos and managed to find one as well. A few nasty squalls came through around 3:00 and we headed home.

    HOT but great catch
    We set out on the rockpile this morning to a dead ocean, no bites and no bites for the rest of the fleet as well. We started trolling offshore around 10:00 when captain Buddy called us on the radio and said he had found a barrel loaded up with mahi so we picked up and ran. When we got there he was just finishing up and we bailed about 40 and caught a gaffer. We trolled offshore again and found a limit of tiles and a grouper. It was a nice day but HOT!! Thanks Mike and crew.

    I've been out of town the last few days so Tim has been running the boat, and my daughter April has been mating. In the last 3 days they had 10 citations and they threw down the meat again today. Tim said he started out shallow and caught a 45 pound King Mackeral on a jig trying to find some amberjack. That's a heck of a king for this time of year!! A limit of tiles, a 55lb snowy, a limit of mahi, and a wahoo rounded out the day. I was up north visiting my other daughter and her boyfriend. I'm glad the Good Times was in good hands.

    No mahi but a nice citation grouper
    Back to the south today! Not many mahi around on the radio so I decided to hit the bottom again. It sure beats trolling around like the rest of the fleet and not getting any bites. For some reason we have not had any grass for the Bailers to hide in, but that's not a problem. We still had a great catch-vermillion snappers, triggerfish, amberjack, tilefish, and a citation 57lb snowy grouper! One heck of a fight on stand up tackle. A lot of people are saying the fishing is slow right now because there are no mahi. Well I'd say the fishing is great if you know how to adjust, change tactics, and do something other than troll!

It was rough but we stuck it out and Mike got a 48lb grouper and Steve caught a sailfish. Plus a few mahi for dinner. The ride home was beautiful as the waves were at the stern coming home from the 900 line.

    Fishing on the 4th!!!
    Awesome way to spend the 4th!!! We headed down the beach again today as I assumed the mahi fishing would be slow again. I feel like we made the right call because most of the fleet didn't fare well trolling. The triggers and snappers were chewing and we caught enough for dinner. At the end of the day I made a pass in an old grouper rock I haven't fished in years and it had a nice 35lber on it. The crew wanted Steve Bailey to clean and vacuum pack the fish so we pulled into Oden's dock this afternoon. If you have never had Steve Bailey's famous steamed shrimp your missing out. We ended up with a limit of snappers, and plenty of triggerfish. Today's crew asked if the snappers were good too eat? Tim told them you'll never want to fish for mahi or tuna again!! Haha.

    Found the mother load
    As we headed out this morning nobody was finding any mahi, so we kept running south. We ended up down in the 800's and decided to start with snapper fishing until someone found some mahi. The current was strong and Tyler, Hunter, Jeff and the guys hung in there as we bounced around to about 40 different spots with a fish or two at each rock. We finally found the mother load at about lunch time. Citation triggers, sand tiles, yellow eye snappers, vermillion snappers, glass eye snappers, and a few amberjack rounded out the catch. If you don't like snapper then I'd say you don't like to eat fish!!!! The boats who trolled all day didn't catch anything, so we made the right call with heading south. Some times you gotta fish for what you think is gonna fill the box the quickest!!!

    The ocean was a bit choppy this morning from the southwest wind so we took the easy ride up to the east. There was a faint grass edge behind the buoy and it didn't take long to find a school of mahi. We boxed 15 real quick and I figured I'd find another school to finish off our limit. Well five hours later and no more mahi bites I figured there was only one school of fish in the grass, the one we found. The wind fell out and the day ended up being beautiful. We found a 40lb snowy in 900 feet and finished the day off with a few triggerfish and sea bass.

We stopped at the end of the day and caught enough snappers for dinner as well as some triggers too. The highlight of the day was a 50lb grouper!!! From the chatter on the radio the mahi fishing was slow overall today.

    With the lack of mahi bites again this morning on the radio we decided it was best to load her up with bottom fish. The vermillion snappers were chewing, and we also found a big old fat snowy grouper. We burnt up an electric reel fighting a sea monster from 900 feet deep. It ended up being a big old shark!!!! But regardless the sea was slick calm for once and a beautiful day.

A limit of vermillion snappers, some triggerfish, silver snappers, amberjacks, and a snowy grouper rounded off the day. We did catch a real reef donkey at 75lbs! What a fish, Stephan did a great job of keeping him out of the wreck!

    We've missed a few days recently due to a howling SW wind, well this morning was no exception. A rough boat ride in a 6' sea out to the Gulf Stream was about all we wanted this morning. Overall the fishing was a little slow for the fleet but we found enough fish for our make up group. Blackfins, mahi, and amberjack rounded off the box with 380lbs of fish.

    Tim's reason for being off
    Tim has taken a few days off with another member entering a his family, a baby girl. That makes three girls for me and two for him. Some of you may know my daughter April she works with Tim when he captains the boat.

    Three great days for the gang from Ohio
    Tom and the gang from Ohio fished with us the last 3 days. Tom loves to catch a big grouper and we took care of that rather quickly with a citation 50lber right off the bat. We also found a yellow edge as well. With the mahi fishing being slow we still managed to load down the box with plenty of other species. Vermillion snappers, triggers, amberjack, a wahoo, and a few mahi. Tim has taken a few days off with another member entering a his family a baby girl. That makes three girls for me and two for him.

    Back out with a good catch
    We stayed up pretty late last night changing out a transmission on the motor but we got her in and hooked up just in time before Matt and his dad showed up this morning. A few small adjustments on the way out and she ran smooth!! The gaffers found us a few times this morning and we caught a 42lb bull. The largest we have caught this year so far. A snowy grouper, blue line tile and some jacks finished out the day. Good eating!!!

    Tropical Storm Colin
    Tropical storm Colin sure did mix up the water off shore today, there was still a pretty big swell this morning but we all made it out the inlet as that was hard enough. The fish were even harder to find. The boys from Tennessee have had some awful good trips in the past including a day we caught 3 blue marlin. But all we could find today was a snowy grouper and a few gaffers.

    Working the shallows for mahi today
    The thunderstorms were terrible this morning and it was a chore just to not get hit by lightning. We stayed in the shallows today 25 fathoms and shallower in search of mahi and found about 10 nice gaffers highlighted by this beautiful citation dolphin 35 pounds. We had a few sailfish bites today but they somehow seemed to outsmart us and jump off. We wrapped up the day with a few amberjack on a wreck.

    Caught dinner for the fryer
    Tom and his girls wanted to look out in the deep for a blue marlin and that's what we did most of the day. We stayed out behind the rockpile in a few hundred fathoms and looked and looked and looked. We did see one swimming around but he was not interested in anything skipping behind the boat. We pulled big baits on 80's until 2:00 and ran into the shallows to catch dinner. A few mahi and a grouper will be good in the fryer.

    White marlin, nice grouper, and mahi
    Termite and his regular crew have been coming down a long time and always have great success but Termite has never caught a Marlin and wanted to try today. We spent most of the day in the deep and saw a big blue marlin first thing this morning that wouldn't eat. A while later we got a white and Termite went in for a swim with it. Bear caught a 50lb grouper and we finished off the day with some mahi.

    Fish were scarce for the fleet today
    Diana and her boys fished with us today. The weather was rather snotty with a big SE swell. The first line in this morning was eaten by a gaffer and I thought it was going to be a good day. Well three hours later we had our next bite, another mahi. The fishing was rather slow today with 5 knots of current it made it impossible to bottom fish so we ended the day catching some blackfins on the 230 Rock.

    Today was bottom fishing
    The gaffer fishing finally slowed down for the fleet today, blended hot water with lots of current up to the east , and very few fish. We ended up fishing way south to try and get out if the current and we finally did but there still weren't many mahi bites. We did find a big grouper some amberjacks and some triggers as well as vermillion snappers.

    We need another freezer
    Bill and his wife usually bring the family but this year it just the two of them. We started the morning off with a fast start with 7 gaffers in the first 20 minutes along a weed line. They were biting pretty good for the most part of the morning but the action slowed down as the sun came out and the 100 outboards fell in line on the change. But that's Memorial Day weekend for ya. We caught a sailfish and a few more Mahi in the afternoon before Bill was ready to head to the fish cleaners.

    Bottom fishing to finish the third day
    Porter and the guys had enough mahi after the last two days of posting over 1,000lbs. So we went down the beach to look around on the bottom. The triggers were playing hard to catch but the snappers were chewing! A citation grouper and a few mahi rounded out the day. Not a bad 3 days for the guys with over 1,400lbs of fish!!

    Porter and his crew cleaned house on the Gulf Stream
    Porter and his crew are pretty dire hard fisherman who come down from New York City. We were greeted by a hard Gulf Stream edge this morning and the first 2 lines in the water had fish on. The action was fairly constant most of the day with 2-3 fish at a time. The guys brought all their own tackle and I must say their Accurate reels were nice! We did some jig fishing around a wreck to finish off the extra space in the fish box.

    Lots of gaffers wanting in the box
    Devin brought his daughters today, and they laid down the smack on the mahi. There was a hard change up to the east and the gaffers rushed us right from the start. We lost a blue marlin and Taylor caught a white. We stopped out in the deep and caught a few golden tilefish as well. Tom was on fish box duty today and let a 50lb golden tile jump out of the box and back overboard! Guess we should have let Taylor or Ashley take your job Tom!! All in all a great day with good people.

    Great day catching gaffers
    We pointed her about 120 degrees this morning hopping for a hard change. Well we found it, the water went from ugly green to dark blue and the mahi were there. Any time you can find a color change in the Gulf Stream it usually has a lot of fish associated with it. About half way through the day we hooked a giant blue marlin but he didn't stay hooked long, a few jumps and he was outta there! A few bottom drops in the afternoon resulted in a snowy grouper and some rose fish.

    Great day packing the box
    Today's forecast was suppose to blow a gale around 11:00 but Ross decided to give it a try and it worked out! It started blowing before 11:00, but the fish didn't seem to mind! It was non stop action with mahi from the time we set out until we picked up at 1:00 to come home. Packed the box with 6 tunas, 25 mahi and a sailfish rounded out the day. It was so rough on the way home a wave popped the fish box lid open and we lost the biggest dolphin of the day. First time I've ever seen that happen. It's a good thing the fish were biting and we caught extra.

    Great day with 510lbs of fish in the box
    Teresa said they had a big family to feed at the rental house this week, well I think 510lbs of fish should last at least a night or two. There was a faint grass edge up to the east this morning in 30 fathoms and the gaffers kept it interesting with a few bites every 15 minutes. We heard a report on the radio of a few tunas being caught by the trolling boats so off we went to check it out. The fish were small so I put the kite up which always catches bigger fish, and it did today! 8 tunas fell victim to the flying fish with 1 being a citation. On the way off the rocks a white marlin found us as well. I'm not so sure it wasn't a spearfish as colorful as it was, lit up purple and blue. A few rain squalls were starting to bear down on us around 2:00 and we called it a day!!

    Great day catching these gaffers
    It was pretty windy this morning with gusts out of the North up to 25 but Jeff and the boys wanted to try it. The north wind pushed the cooler water up against the Gulf Stream and made a beautiful color change that was loaded down with gaffers. We found a stray wahoo and fished around a wreck on the way home.

    Swordfishing at its best
    Mike has been wanting to try day time swordfishing for awhile now but he always brings 5 other guys who wanna fill the box. Well today he showed up alone, we caught some mahi this morning and a big grouper then ventured off too look around in the deep abyss. A few bites and a pulled hook took up the better part of the morning but we managed to put a nice one on deck in the afternoon. 2,500 feet is a long ways down so it is a very patient kind of fishing, Mike compared it to leopard hunting in Africa. You gotta put your time in and be patient!

    Maurice and his boys fish a few times a year with us. Today we landed in the fish! The Gulf Stream edge was alive with gaffers today, and by 8:30 they were jumping out of the box!! For an hour straight we had 4 fish or more on. Tallying in at 550 lbs of mahi was the finished product. Glad to see some great fishing! Check out the gaffer video on the video page.

    We set out on the change this morning and it was game on right away. First bait in the water had 3 gaffers after it!!! A really nice class of fish bigger average than we have been catching. They bit pretty good for us until the fish box was about full and the boys from the other side of the sound were ready to head to the cleaning station. Finished with 550lbs of mahi which should last them awhile.

We went back inshore looking for a color change with some mahi bites on it. We jigged a wreck and caught some jacks and flew the kite at the end of the day for 3 tuna bites!

    If the weatherman ever was off today was the day. The North wind howled today and 4 knots of current made it impossible to fish on the tuna rocks, but we snuck around the waves inshore of the air rent and were able to put together a nice catch. Jason was high hook today with a 40, and 42 lb wahoo!!

    Jason and the boys from twizzlers laid down a pretty good coach of mahi and tuna. We headed back up to the east after the tunas but crossed a color change this morning that had plenty of mahi bites on it. We ventured out to the rocks with a ballyhoo spread out but the tunas were small so up went the kite and the fish tripled in size with everyone earned a citation! The rain decided to bring the kite down so we ended the day with the Greenstick! You gotta have every tool to catch if you wanna play!!!!

    Today was the opening day of grouper season and it sure didn't take long to get a bite. We stopped out in 150 fathoms and before the rig even hit the bottom we had a 51lber on. We bounced around on the bottom today and ended up with a good catch of vermillion snappers, triggers, silver snappers, and amberjacks, plus a few gaffer Dolphins. The fish box was about level and we came home a little early.

This just goes to show you hafta be a versitile fisherman. When the tunas get finicky you better have the right gear to get bites!! Everyone earned a citation today.

    It was another rough southwester and the tunas just wouldn't bite for us today. Guess some days your the bug and some days your the windshield. We did manage to find 7 gaffers, and one dumb tuna who must have been blind. The conditions today were just too poor to get bites on the Greenstick and too much wind for my kite. But we made it back without breaking anything!!

They would come up busting on top troll over them, they would cover you up and come off, they just weren't eating the bait good. Guess the full moon had an effect on them. We did manage to catch a dozen and a nice gaffer.

It was a slow start for us as we watched the fleet catch smaller size fish around us on birds and green machines, we did switch over but the fish were just small. Around 11:00 they started chasing flying fish and it was game in with the Greenstick!!! The Greenstick sure does weed out the smaller fish, everyone caught a citation and we even found a 40lb yellowfin as well. A great day on the water with some great people!

    Greensticking for tuna
    The southwest wind decided to blow again today, but fortunately the tunas snapped!! We set out up to the east with a ballyhoo spread, but the size of the fish was smaller so in came the ballyhoo and out went the Greenstick. The fish doubled in size and everyone went home with a citation Blackfin tuna. We also found 3 stray mahi as well. When the tunas are eating flying fish there's no better way to catch them than using a rubber squid or flying fish skipping from the Greenstick. They just can't stand it, and it weeds out the smaller fish. For some reason the bigger ones just don't seem to like a ballyhoo. That's why you gotta have as many tools as necessary to CATCH! A golfer doesn't carry just one club right?

    A good day bottom fishing with stiff winds
    The weather man was way off today! We headed down the beach this morning looking for bottom fish, We started around the 940 and worked our way south hitting small rock piles. The fish were there but the wind and current were a problem. The 15knots quickly turned into 25knots of stiff NE wind. We managed some triggerfish, and vermillion snapper, we lost quite a few snappers as well most likely from the snatching of the boat up and down in the swells, vermillion snapper have a very soft mouth and the hook tears out awful easy. We did a little jigging around some rocks and found some jacks.

We moseyed on up to the east after lunch looking for some tuna action and found a few Blackfin, and yellowfins that wanted to eat the squids. We didn't have much time left by the time we got up there, but they were airing it out in every direction! A pretty sight to see!

Thankfully the blackfins decided to bite the jigs!! We ended up with 12 blackfins and an amberjack. The Sharks weren't so bad today so hopefully their on the way out!
    Nice day of blackfin and a sole amberjack

    Good haul of bottom fishing today
    Gary, Steve, Fred, Mike, and Betty wanted to switch it up and try the bottom fishing, so down south we headed, and scored big with a catch of triggers, vermillion snappers, amberjack, and one lonely sea bass. The current was screaming at 4 knots but the guys figured it out rather quickly and it paid off! Hope you brought an extra knife sharpener Mike!!

    Down to the wire on this yellowfin
    Gary and his son sure did bring the bluefin luck. We set out on the 450 this morning but quickly picked back up and ran to the 540, very few marks and a few scattered bites by the fleet. By 9:00 the marks all disappeared and the wind picked up, as we fished back down the beach we got lucky and drove over 2 hungry fish, releasing one and Keeping this nice 64"er. Gary went on an elk hunt last year and he killed his bull in the last 5 minutes on the last day of the hunt, I told him he was down to the last 3 minutes today.

    Some nice tuna today
    Back up the beach after the tunas again today! We set out on the 450 right in the middle of fish swimming everywhere. It didn't take long before Gary and his son were hooked up with a double header. One 62" found his way into the fish box and the other one we released, hopefully we will catch him tomorrow!! A yellowfin found us as well for the ride back to Hatteras.

    Steak and shrimp for lunch but few bites
    Well Ricky and the boys had plenty of bottom fish so we pointed the boat to the east and went looking for a bluefin. There were a few bites by the fleet but we never did get lucky. I'd say the best part of today was lunch, shrimp and steak!!

    Us vs. the sharks
    We set out to the rocks with Al and his crew. The fish were there but so were the Sharks. Tim finally landed the first tuna of the day around lunchtime. The Sharks were terrible, eating everything at times I think they were even eating the jigs. We caught another citation tuna, and a lot of amberjack, Bonita mackerel, and false albacore. Also donated about 40 jigs to the Sharks as well.

    Tuna and a 200 lbs bull shark
    Nick, Dave, and Jeff braved a cold day of Tina fishing today. We started off bottom fished in a few areas but the cold water had the Sharks thick! Didn't take long before we changed gears and went tuna fishing. We fared a lot better with Nick, Dave, and Jeff all catching citation Blackfin tunas. We did troll for a little while but with all the marks being deep it didn't take long to know dropping jigs was going to be the ticket today. Last time Nick fished with us he caught a 450lb hammerhead shark. Well today he caught a 200lb bull shark!!

    Jigging Blackfin
    We decided to give the black fins a try on the jigs. The water temperature jumped from 55 to 75 degrees as we crossed into the Gulf Stream and the current was screaming at 4 knots. The boys did manage some nice black fins but the Sharks had their way with us as well. I've noticed that in my time spent jigging for tuna the current plays a major role as to where the fish position them selves on the rocks, and with a lot of current sometimes I think they hide in a hole. Haha... Plenty of bites though as well as amberjack and albacore.
