- Anyone who has fished in the Frenzy has probably noticed that I would much rather fish off on my own than in the middle of a fleet. Today was no exception. After catching a bigeye on the 810 yesterday, I decided to run back up there and roll the dice. I heard the fleet catching a few blackfin about 15-20 miles south, but stuck with my game plan and ended up finding some fish on top. We ended up having a great day, and a few other boats steamed up to us to catch a few as well!How to Find the Right Place & Time
The fish bite most during feeding time when mosquitos and bugs are most active. In summer, that’s early morning and late evening. In the spring and fall, it’s best to go out around dusk.
If you’re near the beach, check the tidal schedule and go out when the tides are changing. Fish move in greater numbers during tidal shifts.
Be aware of cold fronts and heavy rain, since these can limit your chances of making a catch.
While it’s important to plan, you don’t have to overdo it. Even if you don’t catch the big one, sometimes it’s just good to sit in the sun enjoying a few cold ones with a friend.

Ensure that you’ll be comfortable all day by stocking up on the kind of versatile gear found at top retailers such as Carhartt. Every fisherman needs a hat, rain gear, and some fast-drying items to fight hot weather and fast-moving afternoon storms.
Check the weather report before trip day to stay ahead of the elements.
No matter what the forecast, every angler needs good, rugged boots they can trust to keep their feet protected.Here you can learn How to Gear Up and learn from a trusted Montagna Maritime Lawyer suggests for law issues.
Every fisherman needs to have the right tools for the job. Invest in a quality rod and reel and you’ll thank yourself later.
Depending on what kind of fish you’re after, you’ll need different kinds of lures and bait. Do a little research before heading to the bait shop.
Keep all your tackle organized, so you can spend more time enjoying your trip rather than hunting for weights at the bottom of a messy tackle box.
Always take care of your equipment. By keeping your hooks sharp and your reels clean, you’ll save time and money and catch more fish. To clean your boat when it fills with blood stains and fish scales, you can use a Marine and boat washdown pump.
October is here, and it’s time for TUNA! The past few days we have had some great fishing, a few boats had limits of yellowfin and a good number of blackfin as well. We caught a 141# bigeye and a handful of blackfin today, and had a 300#+ blue marlin eat a tuna. We decided to sacrifice the tuna and got a pretty good show from the blue one! Great trip with a fantastic group, we hope to see you in the spring Ken, Frankie, Barry and Heidi! We have some dates available next week and have opened up through Nov 13, give me a call 252-216-9034
We headed up to the Northeast today looking for some tuna, but the water had moved way offshore overnight and we had to go a few extra miles to get to the fish. A couple of boats found the grass, and it was loaded with Mahi! One stop shopping, we caught a limit in a little over 15 minutes! On the way back down the beach we batted 1.000 on white marlin, 1 for 1. It looks like one more day of fishing before José gets here, wish us luck!
After hauling out in preparation for Irna, which completely bypassed the Outer Banks, we made it out today and found a 110# bigeye and a couple yellowfin. Thanks Paul, Bob, Kathy and Melissa for a great trip, hope to see you back next year!
Marlin Season is now in full swing! Our charters have been treated to some really credible fishing over the last few days. We caught 5 out of 7 blue Marlin for the last 4 days, one Grand Slam, and a double Grand Slam. It looks like the weather will keep us to the dock for the next few days, I’m ready for a couple days off, then we’ll be back at it, let’s hope this Nor’easter brings in some more fish, September should be awesome!
We’ve had some great marlin fishing the last three days. A Grand Slam on Wednesday, a blue and a white Thursday, and we ended our day today with a quad of sails to complete a DOUBLE Grand Slam! Special guest appearance by The Fog!
Rhonda landed this 53# wahoo today! 
Today we went looking for a couple tuna for dinner and maybe a marlin. It worked out perfectly! We hooked 4 yellowfin from 63-72 pounds and landed all of them! We set back out and caught a 125# blue marlin, fished up the change and caught some Mahi! Great day with a great group, thanks Ken, I’ll see you in a couple weeks!
This is what I do for a living. No editing, no cameras, just fishing. Brian Simpson and his dad have been fishing with me for years. Now I get the opportunity to take his three sons out fishing and catch them their first Tuna. Great job Aubrey Braden and Carter!
