October and November are GREAT Tuna months, but the weather determines if we can go or not. Today was a slow ride out since the weather was still a bit rough, but it was worth it once we got there - we limited out with all really nice Yellow-fin Tuna.

The sun was out, the temperature was warm, the marine life was popping up all over the place. Nick, Frank & Bob had a fabulous time bringing in the Hungry Tuna!!!! It is the first time this group has been with us on the High Return, but not their first time going out with our mate, Heath. I'm sure that they will be back to fish another day.....

Last night we went to Manteo High School for the homecoming football game, so I did not get this done until today.

It was a good thing that Craig & friends were able to go fishing a day early. The weather today has been really really bad!! We saw lots of Marine life in the Gulf Stream; Sting Rays, Porpoises, Pilot Whales and a small pod of Baluga Whales (4 or 5 on the surface). It was just like an August day without the heat & humidity - a wonderfully sunny day and were in shorts all day long; to add to it all the water was slick calm.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR - GREAT WEATHER - GREAT SEAS - GREAT PEOPLE - GREAT FISHING!!!!!

P.S. Manteo High School won the ballgame, which makes them 8 and 0 for the season - hope we go to the State playoffs....

Well, the weather has finally given us a break!!!

We started out the day with 5 Yellow-fin Tuna & 5 Black-fin Tuna, then as it got a little slower, we decided to move 10 miles slow and found a better spot. There was lots of grass & trash and we found a piling which is where the 60 Dolphin were hiding. Then started fishing North again and caught a Tuna and one out three Wahoos. Daniel Blosser and his group had a great time; the weather was wonderful and the fishing was fantastic. It was worth rescheduling their trip after they got blown out from a couple weeks ago. Mike, the young boy, was so disappointed after not being able to fish their first go around, but was amazed at how great the fishing can be in the Gulf Stream.

We were blown out on Thursday, but have fished the last couple of days. There is another front moving through starting this evening. It is that time of year - atleast we have not had any hurricaines to speak of.......

The fishing has been good with Black-Fin Tuna, Yellow-Fin Tuna, Billfish & the scattered Big-Eye Tuna & Wahoo. You can see in one of the pictures that the Baby Tuna are eating everything that they can - eat or be eaten...... We hope that they grow to be BIG, FAT and Tasty!!!

Well today was not our luck - the group that we had arrived late to the dock and then they were all not feeling so hot..... We fished for 2 hours and then returned home to the dock.

The rest of the fleet had a good day with limits of Tuna caught for some of the boats but the average was 6 or so Tuna's to the boat. There was a wonderful Wahoo that weighed 95lbs - that is awesome for Wahoo. There were several Wahoo bites (glad to see them) and Billfish caught today.

It has been a couple of days since we have been out, but the fishing is STILL GREAT!! Today was no different.....

We had a group from PA; Michael Hogue, friends & family had a wonderful day on the Ocean. We saw so much Marine Life and you would not believe the amount of Benita's that were boiling on top of the water and then the Tuna were boiling up behind them. We had 1 Black-Fin Tuna & the rest Yellow-Fin - they were all really respectable fish.

I am glad to say that the Yellow-Fin Tuna are Here for the FALL.....Book your trip soon, October is filling up FAST!!! Don't forget about November fishing which is just as strong......
