Today we enjoyed another beautiful day offshore fishing out of Hatteras, NC with Boris Belkin, Kadir Arslan, Richard Knapp, and his son, Richard Jr. We were greeted with perfect summer conditions—light winds, sunny skies, warm temperatures, and crystal-clear 83-degree blue water in the Gulf Stream.
The morning started out a little slow as we picked away at a few mahi-mahi (dolphin) and jack crevalle while trolling. As the day went on, the bite improved. After lunch, the floating grass lines came together, the fish moved in, and we finished the afternoon with a nice catch and plenty of action.
It was one of those classic summertime Hatteras offshore fishing charters where patience pays off. Every trip is different, and today's conditions rewarded us with a fun day on the water and happy anglers.
Fishing with this crew is always a pleasure. Boris, Kadir, Richard, and Richard Jr. are some of my favorite people to have aboard, and they always make the trip enjoyable. Thanks again, guys—we're already looking forward to the next adventure!

Today we had a short weather window for a hatteras fishing charter, with it being nice in the morning with winds picking up after lunch. My group was a 2 person charter from Pennsylvania and they wanted MEAT. We started at the blackfin hole and there were plenty of fish busting but they were eating little tiny minnows and were really tough to get a bite out of. Too much current for bottom fishing, so we ran in halfway back to the beach and found the weed line with the motherlode of mahi on it.
Caught an easy limit but tried to grade our catch with nicer fish than just keeping 20 bailers and finished the day with a real nice catch. Could have caught a million mahi. Great to still see so many gaffers around! I dont have much left available in June but have plenty available in July! Give me a shout to go fishing in hatteras!

The legendary half day Virginia Beach Tuna Fishing Trip. This is the stuff dreams are made of here folks! Great fishing less than 50 statute miles ENE of Rudee Inlet. Just so that i don't have to answer 59 million questions in messages, 22 to 24 fathoms on the Northeast corner of the wind farm. I only burnt 90 gallons today on a tuna trip in VB. NICE!
We had a short window today so we made the most of it. Left the inlet at 430. Dropped a couple fads. Went out a couple more miles and put the tuna spread at about 630am. Fished until 1030am then came home. Back at the dock before noon and fish cleaned done on the way home by 1pm. Awesome day with great fishing. 5 for 7 on a really nice class of yellowfins ( Kendall had one 55#), and we had some bonitas that kept us on our toes. In the 4 hours we fished, we spent most of that time fighting fish.
