So the end of day two with two great fishermen and really nice people from Massachusetts. Charlie and Darlene are here for 4-5 days and false albacore fishing with me for 3 of those.  We’re fishing spinning rods and fly rods. We have several goals this trip. 1) Set the ladies 4 lb record for… Continue reading Wow… North Carolina is False Albacore Heaven!!!!

Fished in dense fog almost all day. Didn’t clear until maybe 2 o’clock.  We forged ahead using the radar and  were only able to fish shrimp trawlers until the fog lifted. Didn’t matter though as we caught 25 Albies this morning before the fog lifted.   Weather was nice and warm but just dripping with… Continue reading Be Thankful for Radar!!!

My last report had us working hard for half a dozen fish. Today was completely different. False Albacore everywhere! Both tides had fish....open water had fish...shrimp trawlers had fish....inlets and bays all had fish. My charter from Louisiana caught four nice Albies in his first 5 casts and it never slowed down from there. False… Continue reading Back to Epic !!!

Tyoically when I’m taking about the weather or beautiful scenery in my fishing report headline it’s a prelude to the actual fishing. That was the case yesterday. Fished one Angler on spinning gear. We ran for miles and found few fish. At least the fish we found would eat.   We came on several pods… Continue reading Gorgeous Weather!

Fished an expert fiaherman today from Connecticut. Left a little late at around 9:30. Found scattered fish just outside in the channel and caught a couple right away.  Got in behind a shrimp trawler that didn’t have any birds working it. Had low expectations but to our suprize the boat was loaded with fish.  Stayed… Continue reading Unbelievable How Many Albies are off Harkers Island and Cape Lookout !!!!!

Day 2 at Harker’s Island. Fished a regular from CT today. Started late and finished early simply because he couldn’t reel any more fish in. Hooked maybe 75 fish and caught maybe 25-30. All these fish today were big boys in the 10 lb . plus range.  Both of us were completely spent by 3… Continue reading Lots and Lots of Albies!

Just got to North Carolina. Fished today with Sean from Windsor Locks CT. Sean caught his first Albie today and fish number one was a toad. 16 lbs of pure muscle. Once he got the hang of it we tore the fish up today. Fished open water and behind some shrimp boats. Hooked maybe 60… Continue reading First Day / Great Day at Harker’s Island.

So here we are in late October and we still have boat loads of Albies and gorgeous weather. Today we fished both tides. Had a nice father, Jay, and junior in high school son, Cal.  Both were good fishermen and could cast a mile. We started off early in the fog and that put a… Continue reading Beautiful Day for Albies!!

Today I fished a really nice family and their friend from Newtown, CT.  Dad Fred , kids Wyatt and Tucker, and Tucker’s pal Max.  Wyatt is in his early twenties and starting a new job in NYC tomorrow, Tucker and Max are sophomores in Newton’s high school.   All were anxious to catch their first… Continue reading Great Family, Lots of Albies, Squid, Porgies, SeaBass and a 500 lb Sunfish!

Fished with a fantastic couple yesterday from Massachusetts, Darlene and Charlie. Both are very experienced on a spinning rod and Charlie is also pretty good on a fly rod. Started at 7 looking for some early bird fish that had been close & that I know aren't tide sensitive....we found those fish almost immediately. Darlene… Continue reading Great Day and a Couple Dozen Albies!
