Had Bob and Bobby Casey (on vacation at Bald Head Island)onboard- these guys could sling some string! Looked for tailers for an hour and had no luck- so we beat the banks and caught some NICE fish.
Bobby had the big fish of the day (and year on fly) a 34 1/2" inch mammoth red on the fly and several more to go along with it. It was a great catching day on the fly...

John Walsh, Dave Merritt, and I loaded up and headed out late Sunday afternoon - I had hoped for a big tide but things were not looking promising- until right before dark -we got what we needed and just enough water to push fish into grass. We had multiple shots at tailers- IT WAS GOOD!
We had a great time and John got a stud redfish on fly! Always great to fish with these guys...

Had two great people onboard -I look forward to fishing with every year- Gordon and Connie Munden. I knew Gordon wanted to catch the flounder and skip the trout- so we loaded up on mullet minnows(even though they were small) and headed out. We caught the flounder pretty well but had a lot of short fish that were not quite keepers. Connie scored with a really nice flatfish(pictured below) and we ended up with enough fish for them to have a dinner (or two) while at the beach.

Had Tom Beard and family aboard (John Beard's father) - we went after some specks and reds and flounder. Tom actually caught the big flounder of the day with a nice 4 pound fish! Great day with some good people from Greensboro, NC.

Had a late evening trip with John Walsh and his friend- we had planned on sight fishing in the grass - however the tide stopped about a foot short of where we needed it and the wind was howling! So we headed for some shelter and even though John didn't get a big red on his fly we did manage some nice upper slot (if not over the slot) limit fish on spinning gear.

I took Mike, Ann, and Kelly O'Hagan fishing this past Sunday and managed to boat several reds, seven trout, and a small flounder. In the picture is Ann and her daughter Kelly holding not only their first red drum, but their first fish ever.
Ann's first red fish was 22inches and Kelly's was just shy of 20 inches. Kelly was a trooper and fished the whole trip with a fractured wrist as you can see the cast in the pic. Its always a pleasure to watch people catch their first ever red fish!

Peter Karnezos and his crew jumped onboard for the morning of 8/8 to give the Spanish Mackeral a go. It was by far one of the slowest mornings I have had this year. We finally conceded defeat on the Mackeral and moved to some of the nearshore wrecks and scored with some fat Red Drum.

John Besse and company from Jackson, New Jersey, got in on one the best afternoon Spanish Mackeral bites this summer.
The fish had been pushed off shore for a couple of days due to rough weather; they were hungry and there were thousands of them covering a square mile just off of the beaches of Bald Head Island. We even had a visit from a 12 foot tiger shark that trailed behind the boat for some time.
