Hatteras Tuna

Headed down to Nags Head with Eddie D to meet the Stark Gang to get in some tuna fishing down there Friday.

woke up to hard rain Friday morning but it ended quick and by the time we hit the boat the sky was clearing. First three Tuna were all small Blackfins. The first one here shown with Jim had us crying seeing such a small tuna come into the FIGHTING chair. We then had a double on yellowfins followed by a chinese firedrill of four yellowfins on at the same time, then another double , to finish with Eight yellows between 25-40 pounds.

Ended up keeping the eight yellow fins and one blackfin.

Going 3/3 on blackfins and 8/8 on the yellowfins.

But the bite dropped right out with the wind at 11 am, and fishing just got WICKED nasty till we quit at three.Capt of theDreamgirl had us on the meat early, and we at least got to fight a few each. Fun trip with alot of laughs and ribbing.

Had the Blackfin for dinner last night, I like it better than the yellowfin. wish we had caught some bigger ones of those.

Tuna trip 9-21

Headed out with Rich, Avet George and 2 of Georges buddies to look for some bluefin.

Lots of life from 40-50 miles out, and some life at the Chicken canyon, But we didnt have any tuna bites all day,

While looking hard we Pounded albies and GIANT bluefish.

George caught this sweet Mahi.

Ran alot of miles looking for a man in the blue suit but heard todays bite was REAL early, and over quick

Canal toggin

weather been lousy offshore the last couple of days, so I have been fishing the PP canal for blackfish.

It is def a blackfish nursery in there, TONS of small tog but you can find more keepers when the current gets a little strong for the small fish.

Took Lindsey there Friday to catch her the tog bug, it took her a little while getting used to the bite on mono, but once she got the hang of it she caught alot of fish.

On light tackle these fish are tough fighters. and for just a few bucks for bait you can have a blast.

9-13 crew trip

headed out with Jim and Matt this morning to see if there was some stripers on their early fall haunts.

hit three spot HARD using clam bellies and 2 bushells of clams with only 1 bite to show for it, and that was a skate.

Headed to the ruff stuff then looking for sea bass and porgies.

Was surprised to not have any porgies on the reef, but it was loaded with small sea bass.

Picked through a ton of shorts keeping a half dozen for the table, along with one decent black fish
