We started on the Point today, but scattered grass and a concentrated fleet sent me up the Gulfstream edge and we had a great catch of gaffers!
We fished around the Point today and caught a 45 pound yellowfin, a couple gaffers and released two makos. There is a good sign of yellowfin in the 650 to point area, and the upcoming week should produce some fish for the fleet
After battling scattered grass all day with very little to show for it, we found a few tuna around the 650. They hit us hard one time, and we landed 4 out of six bites. A first for me, we spotted a small pod of Orcas earlier in the day, I managed to get a short video, not quite the best footage, but you can definitely identify them!
Steve Fricke and crew from Raleigh joined us today for a great day of gaffer fishing. We have some days open this week 252-216-9034
This Fall I decided to build a new helm for the Frenzy. I started with a simple box, and after many days of pondering where to put what, I came up with a clean, functional bridge design. After the tuna quota was full, we went to work at Spencer Yacht, and with some advice from Howard Rock at Marine Electronics of the Outer Banks, I now have a much more user friendly helm. I got an extra screen for my NavNet, and picked up a Garmin plotter with the GSD 26 sonar module with an Airmar 1 KW CHIRP transducer to complete the package. Everything is right at my fingertips when needed, and neatly tucked away with dual Lenco actuators at the dock. After 37 years, I think the old girl looks pretty good!
We managed to find three tuna, a few dolphin, and a limit of tiles today.
