Great Mackerel run this week!





On Monday the 11th, Carl, Vinnie and Colt had a lot of fun using light tackle with live bait.  We caught seven nice Spanish.

Monday afternoon the 11th, Paul and Pete joined Hunter and me for an afternoon trip.  Using light tackle we had several strikes and ended up getting two nice Spanish in the box.



Tuesday morning the seas were a little choppy so we fished around the inlet.  Ben, Bailey, Dan and Hal were on board.  We started out with a Hammerhead Shark and released it.  The Mackerel bite was a little slow but we managed to catch two for dinner.


With a bad forecast we slept in til 7 am.  After taking a look at the ocean we packed up and headed out as quickly as possible.  The ocean was calm and the fish were feeding.  Jim had the catch of the day with a 15 lb King Mackerel. Kerry, Jason and Matthew had their share of fun as well catching a mess of large Spanish Mackerel.  We all ate fresh fish for dinner!


Today I split a trip with Captain Jeff Cronk and we had a great group of guys from Maryland.  The Spanish were a little finicky, but we managed to catch 19 Mackerel, 2 Spinner Sharks and a Hammerhead Shark between the two boats.  Thanks Mike, Russ and Eric for a fun day of fishing and also for the fresh fish for dinner.
