Tunas and gaffers today!
Tuna are on the menu tonight for Rick Visger and family! We caught 5 tuna and 2 dolphin fishing around the 650 today.
The last 2 days proved to be the start of our marlin season. Today we released a blue marlin estimated at over 500 pounds! Yesterday we caught a white marlin, our first of the year. There were about 25 blue ones seen in a 3 hour period today, with about a dozen or so released. That’s about as good as it gets!!
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!

It was another successful day on the Frenzy! We started down around the 350 line and caught 2 tunas and a few gaffers right away. The rest of the fleet was catching some fish up near the Point, and as the day progressed, it got better and better with both tunas and gaffers. We fished our way up, and had a steady gaffer bite all day. When we finally reached the Point, we were greeted by three yellowfins. All in all, a great day!
One 40 pound wahoo, 20 gaffers, and two tunas make a meat slam for Noel Harvey and crew! Luckily we made it back to the inlet right ahead of the front with 30 knots of wind, rain, and a 20 degree temperature drop. It looks like we have a couple days of no fishing weather, but we have dates open towards the end of the week, give me call!

Great fishing today!! It seemed like the entire fleet found some really good tuna and dolphin action. Rob Jenkins and crew were on board for 10 tunas and 10 nice gaffers, thanks for the trip and I look forward to seeing you in July!
We had a great day offshore today. The tuna did not cooperate, so we decided to try some bottom fishing. We were rewarded with a limit of tiles and 2 groupers. I went on a fun trip in Hatteras Monday and caught the 25 pound grouper in the second photo. We have dates available for offshore and inshore trips. Give me a call 252-216-9034, and we will get you out fishing!
Today was a great day to be out on the water! The seas were calm, and we found a few fish to catch. Overall, boats had anywhere from 1 to 6 yellowfins each, and there were a number of dolphin caught as well. Some of the boat on the Southern end of the fleet had good catches of blackfin tuna. We managed to catch 4 yellowfins and another 2 that were to small to keep, and half a dozen dolphin. Give me a call, we have days available!
We got an opportunity to go fishing at last! The swell from the past few days died down and we got across the bar with no problems. Conditions offshore were perfect for a great tuna bite, unfortunately, only a few yellowfins got the news! We caught 3 keepers, a throwback and missed a few more bites. One boat caught a dozen or so, and it seemed like everyone else had anywhere from 1 to 6 fish, so things are shaping up. I have a trip tomorrow, so I should have a good report!!
