Memorial Day Weekend

We had some excellent fishing this past weekend.  Saturday, Sunday and Monday the weather was great, and gaffer dolphin were everywhere from Diamond Shoals to as far North and East as boats wanted to go.  We opted for the lower end all three days.  It was a lot less crowded, and the fishing was good no matter where we went.  On Saturday, we fished a tideline until 10:30. The action was steady all morning and with 20 gaffers and 2 tuna in the box, we went looking for Blue Marlin.  After an hour, we saw one that made a half assed pass at a long rigger, then we hooked another one about 350 #!  Unfortunately, he ate a tuna rig and came unglued after only a few minutes, but not after giving us a spectacular set of jumps.  Yesterday there was a fairly good showing of Marlin in Hatteras, so they should be up this way soon.  I’ve got some dates open in the next few weeks, so give me a call and I’ll get you out!
