You All Are Missing Out!!!!





The Billfish are DEFINITELY here.........There were eight boats that fished today & about eighty (80) Billfish caught. WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY.......



We had a group that fished with us a few months ago - boy did they have a great time today.



The Billfish season is still well and truly in - Hurricane Bill did not scare them off but has got them biting like crazy.

I could not pick just one picture to show the Sailfish that we caught today. Overall it was a slower day than it has been, but we all saw some Billfish. JH Fitzgerald and party had a great time enjoying the Sailfish - most of the party has not seen a Billfish being caught - so it was an exciting time for all. We really have seen SO MANY Billfish this season.
Pirate's Cove Tournament finished today - Congratulations to all the Boats, Crew & Anglers that took part in the tournament. It ended up being one of the best years for a large amount of Billfish caught this week.

James Betteker & his family were out with us today (Monday). The weather has been really hot the past few days - the Billfish are biting but we were able to get a good catch of Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) for the group.


Pirate's cove Tournament started today - so ALL the boats were out looking for Billfish.......They are here in large numbers!!!!!

Tuesday was a slightly cooler day for the group today - We had a wonderful day watching all the boats fishing today that were in the Pirate's Cove Tournament but what was even better was that Ben Gates & his group could Marlin fish along with all the tournament boats. The Billfish are getting better & better everyday - they had a great time catching the Sailfish that we got.

The Marlin bite was great this morning, but slowed down a little in the afternoon, if we caught what we saw today, we would have a rigger full of flags. We did get some Sailfish & a White Marlin - there seems to be a lot of Sailfish around or maybe they are just hungrier this season.



If you want in on the action you better call Capt. Swain to book your trip...............

Alice Kelly Tournament - what a day!!!
For those of you who don't know, it is a lady angler tournament with a large portion of the money raised donated to the Alice Kelly Fund which helps cancer patients & their families.
We had a wonderful day out there: the pictures show the sunrise (what a place to go to work everyday), the ladies on the way out, the Marlin Action & at the dock.......
We saw three White Marlin and caught three - those are good odds!!!!



Well, it has been a really busy few days. It is Tournament season, Ocean City, Alice Kelly & Pirate's Cove - although we did not fish in all of these tournaments, we have been busy with all the goings on during this time. I am sorry that I have not been keeping up with this everyday.

I told you the Billfish were here!!!!!

We had Guy Wilson & his family on Saturday who wanted to have a great day out and get some Marlin. Capt. Dave gave him exactly what they requested - the water was like a piece of glass & the White Marlin were biting......... Guy's daughter did a wonderful time bringing this White to the boat.

We were getting ready to fish the Alice Kelly Tournament the next day.

There are not any pictures today - Capt Dave forgot the camera but it was a good day on the water - a hot one but again a little breeze to cool things off. We caught one little shower out there but luckily we did not experience the Big Thunderstorms that were on land this afternoon. There weather has changed around a little bit this evening and then should be good to go tomorow morning. Fishing was a little slower than it has been the past few days but we did get a couple of really nice Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) & released a White Marlin.

It is definately Marlin season & you all are missing out!!!!

We had a slowish day out there today but did get a couple of Yellow-fin Tuna and Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi). It was another beautiful day out there today - although it was hot, the breeze did help to cool things down a little bit. The people on the beach had a really hot 98 degree day with high humidity. We were one of the few boats out of the Oregon Inlet fleet that had caught some Tuna....... The most of the fleet were on the hunt for Billfish.
They are definately here - if you are looking for a really exciting time hooking Billfish - it is the season....... Call Capt. Dave to book your day.


I'm sorry for this report being a day late, but I could not get an Internet connection. Bill and his family had a great day out on the ocean - it really has been wonderful weather. They have been fishing other places along the East Coast. Today was a little bit of everything; the Yellow-fin & Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi) were nice size. We had a really nice White Marlin on to give them a thrill....
You are all missing out - the Billfish are here..... but where are you????? This has been one of the best summers we have had in a while for all the Tuna, Mahi-Mahi & Billfish that are in our backyard.
