We competed in Georgetown SC and brought home a 2nd place finish and last week I did a seminar for Salt Strong. Here at home the fish are ganged up and waiting for you to come on out and catch them. My young men on the boat yesterday landed 15 or so. Our fish are coming on MirrOlure topwater plugs, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished under 4Horsemen popping corks, Saltwater Assassin plastics fished weedless with Pro-Cure Bait Scents and the trusty old gold spoon. I have days available this week and the rest of March.

Giant bluefin season officially closes at 11:30 pm today; however, that does not slow down the bluefin charters. We are allowed to keep any fish under 73" and there are a bunch of fish under that threshold out there. Yesterday, we released 4 bluefin about 68-70", caught a nice wahoo about 30 lbs, and a few king mackeral. Not a bad day at all. Still time to get in on the bluefin action

Black drum, black Sea Bass, tautog and skinny water reds. That's what's up for this month.
All areas for sea bass, tautog & black drum less than 60' of water and deeper structure for black drum. Have you done shrimp and squid wing. Sea Bass on 2oz bucktails and black drum on 1/2 oz jigheads.
Redfish in the skinny, sightfishing with fly or light tackle. Tact is key.

NC's world-class Cape Lookout False Albacore Season officially ended strong!
They're still out there and will be on and off throughout the winter months.
But we'll transition to sightfishing slot Redfish, backwater speckled trout, and riding the ocean for Trophy-sized Redfish.

    My dad and I really enjoyed our trip with Captain Mike. The fishing was a little slow, but that was not Mike's fault and just part of fishing. We really appreciated the genuine effort he put in to trying different spots and methods to put us on fish, which ultimately got us to catch a few Blues.

    My grand children (10 &13) had a fantastic time with Capn Frank and his able bodied assistant. On a challenging windy evening he created as the kids said a legendary trip. We caught sting ray, blue fish, speckled trout, dog shark and a 38 bull drum that gave my grand daughter an epic fight. We also lost another bull drum right at the boat. Thanks again for a wonderful trip

    Mike was the captain, but we still had a nice time. Fish were not biting today, and we only caught two bluefish over the 4 hour trip. However, he took us up and down the coast in attempts to catch more.

    What an awesome 1/2 day trip we had with Mike. It was my husband, me, and our 17-year-old son (who has high-functioning autism). Mike was awesome and explained everything very well. He kept taking us to different places until we landed some fish. It was an awesome experience.
