ZIGGED AND SHOULD HAVE ZAGGED...
Yesterday was a great fishing day for the boats that left the waterfront including the Run Off and Bill Collector and it was a good day for the Sensation ........, unfortunately we didn't catch as many Gaffers and Wahoo as we had hoped because I took us way way offshore looking for a Gaffer Dolphin edge ........, which wasn't there ......, however we did scrap up a nice catch of Gaffers along with a huge White Marlin ........., but we were hopeful that we would have another one of those fill the fish box kind of days for Matt Pizzella and his family and friends ......., but check out the photo page for the day's results ......., Marlins were in the water yesterday as Delta Dawn caught a Sailfish, Fishing Partner caught one out of three Blue Marlin along with a Sailfish, and Wisher broke off a Blue Marlin and saw another.......,Sensation is open for the Barta Boys and Girls Club Tournament July 18-20....., so bring your kids and let's have fun fishing and support the club

GAFFERS GALORE ...........,
A small handful of boats left the Morehead City waterfront yesterday for the deep blue ......., Sensation, Run Off, Bill Collector, and Sea Hag ventured off there and found plenty of bounty for our charters ......, each boat filled the fish boxes with Gaffer Dolphin, Blackfin Tuna, and Wahoo ......, and Sea Hag capped off their catch with a Sailfish release ....., check out the photo page for the past few days action ......., one of my favorite tournaments begins this week ....., the first in the Governor's Cup series, the Hatteras Village Offshore Open begins on Thursday ......., only a few boats from MHC will be heading up there ......, Sensation always fished that tournament up until a few years ago ....., I am hopeful that when the political winds shift someday, we will all have more available funds to fish tournaments and support the charities that they represent ......,

Another exceptional day aboard the Sensation yesterday with Lee Larson and family ........, they will certainly have plenty to feed family and friends as they were busy all day long catching Gaffer Dolphin and Wahoo ....., the rest of the fleet including Dancin Outlaw, Impulse, Bill Collector, Run Off, O Lucky Me, Fighting Lady, and James Joyce II each had good fishing also. The Offshore III had a Blue Marlin try her teaser but could not get her to switch off to a bait ........, seems that with the Gaffer Dolphin showing up in good numbers, the Blue Marlin are coming right along behind them ......, need to come on down and let's go looking ......., check out the photo page for yesterday and the day before's action ......, and give her a hug and tell her Happy Mothers Day

GREAT DAY FOR THE CRYSTAL COAST
Yesterday was a huge boost to the Crystal Coast economy as as many boats as I have seen in a really long time took to the water ......., and working together most all of the boats had really nice catches of Gaffer Dolphin and a sprinkling of other varieties including a Sailfish caught by the Dancin Outlaw. There was a Blue Marlin seen by the Chain Link but she wouldn't eat anything and just cruised through the spread ......., Gary Sawyer, Rick Gabriel and his daughter Julia along with Mike, Ricky, and George were kept busy on the Sensation as we filled the box with 38 Gaffer Dolphin and we are hopeful that today will be just half as good ......., check out the photo page for yesterday's action .......,

LAST COUPLE OF DAYS .........,
Not many boats have left the waterfront, including the Sensation, however the fishing has been pretty good on the big, big Wahoo ........, Bill Collector came in yesterday with a 62 pounder....., and day before yesterday had six nice Wahoo along with several Blackfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi ........, also yesterday the O Lucky Me got hit by the Yellowfin Tuna which is a great sign for the Springtime fishing ......, there have been some nice Yellowfin brought to the dock ......, sounds like the weekend fishing conditions might be a little choppy but very fishable ....., hopefully the boats will be able to read the forecast as it is and NOAA won't scare everyone away ....., Saturday, the day of Reelin For Research sounds like a typical charter weather day to me, and we are sure looking forward to a fun time ......,
