Giant falsies

Had one of our best days ever trolling. The ocean was so calm, a very gentle two foot roll, that we literally floated over to 26 Mile Hill.

Pulled ballyhoo and other lures for about an hour without a hit. Then bang! a pull-down on the way-way-back line. Ran off another 100 yards. Thought we had a small bluefin but 15 minutes later, a giant false albacore.

After putting the fish into the cooler, another hit and another and another. All very large. We caught them until becoming tired. All the fish were between 15 and 21 lbs 3 oz.

Interesting, that we only had hits on rigs with birdies and mostly on ballyhoo. They were all caught within a 100 yards of each other. The meat of these fish was unlike any falsies we ever cleaned: Very fatty and the color of bluefin and they also taste like bluefin.

On the way home we stopped at 21 Mile and caught our first dolphin of the year.

A great day.

Flounder Bite is back ON !

The dirty water that has slowed our flounder bite has cleared out and the flounder are all over. We are back to our daily catches of 20-30 or more. The charters last weekend each caught 70 to 100+ flounder with some kingfish mixed in.

Many reports of private and charter boats having double digit keeper days.

Quote from Todd Toulson " Today was one of the best days fishing and keeping we have had in a long time"

Hilltop Blues

Not the New Orleans kind, These blues are fun. Went to 21 Mile Hill today. The first one hit on the south end. Then it was steady action. Martin stole a clue from Ken Neil. Let Ruta drag in all the fish. After all he had to drive the boat. Every time she caught one, she said said, "no more." That resolve lasted until the next hit. Caught blues from 33 to 38 inches. Real slammers.

After we got tired of that, tried the wreck we found on the last trip. The Cbass were waiting. caught a bunch. Also had 10 cod, all dragged up by Ruta. Can't imagine cod in Va. on the last day in May. Weird. One of the best days we've had in a long time. We have a very tired girl tonight. She'll need a bunch of aspirins.

Black Drum and Rockfish in th surf

Many surf fishermen and boaters that don't mind getting close to the rollers next to the shoals are enjoying some great action. Black Drum and Rockfish are being caught using clams and crabs on a fish finder rig. Boaters are anchoring up along side the shoals in the inlet and surf fishermen are enjoying the unspoiled Cedar Island beach.
Drum up to 100 pounds and trophy rock. Best part of this fishery is that you can also flounder fish and take home a hat trick.
We have rooms available give us a call for details or call Capt. Zed's 757 789 3222.
