The afternoon bite slowed to a trickle but the results speak for themselves.

Continental Shelf – 6-18-11 Overnight….

Monday, June 20th, 2011

Greetings All,

This 24 hour overnight was started off with a beating from the weather. It was blowing a solid 20 knots and 6 foot seas.

We left the dock at 8:00pm and did not arrive on station till 3:00am It was a slow crawl out to the fishing grounds.

With the beating behind we put the sea on our stern and started fishing. IT was on like Donkey Kong from the get go!

The weather was strange too…big east ground swell…and it wolf be snotty for few hours…then pretty….then snotty…then pretty. It was just a strange trip.

Overall the Catch was excellent…but like I said we had to work for it.

5-8-10 Overnight Trip

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Greetings All,
We had a day trip on Saturday 5-8-10 but the weather was just plain Ol’Crappy so we scrapped it and went with the Overnight trip on Saturday night instead.

ReefCast ( http://fryingpantower.com/North_Carolina_Offshore_Weather_Forecast.html ) My very own weather forcasting system called the weather window to a TEE!

All day Sat we had 20 kts out of the South West….RC said 10:00pm’ish the wind would come around to the North. ReefCast said around noon the next day the wind would fall out to nothing…..

We postponed leaving the dock until midnight Saturday night and were meet with 20 knot winds out of the North. The sea on our stern off we went.
First stop of the morning was all Pinkies. Pinkies to the left….Pinkies to the right!

About time the sun came up and the fishing turned on.
Big Ol'Gag!

Big Ol'Gag!

About 11:00am the wind started dropping….and the fishing got better….
Big Ol'Gag!

By 1:00 pm the wind had fallen completely out and the fishing turned HOTT!
