LiveLine Charters Fishing Report

Day #2 was a much nicer ride out (but paid the price on the ride in). The current shifted over night and the fish were still eating but a smaller class of fish in the morning. Still had good action and found a couple of Blackfin and Grouper for dinner. We did manage to find some decent fish later in the day and the guys were worn out and ready to move inshore to try top water action. We decided to move in to a wreck around 25 miles since the winds were starting to pick up. Started top water popping and had a large King mackerel sky the bait but missed the hooks. Then the weather turned nasty as a front moved across the area. We had a exciting ride in through the rain and wind squalls but back home safe and day #3 is not happening due to the forecast. Everyone had a great time and all left with sore muscles thanks to NC deep water jigging.

Myself and Captain Rick had Mogi and the Grouper Boys fly in from Japan and come down with Sami from Saltywater Tackle to fish 3 days of NC deep water jigging. Day #1 the winds blew hard from the SW but was supposed to left off later in the morning. After a long ride the 1st jigs in the water got hammered quickly. We had great action all day with plenty of 50 to 70 lb fish. The Blackfin tuna were also chewing we had 4 quickly in the morning but the sharks took a couple for breakfast. Then as usual around lunch time we found a couple big fish. Mogi landed the largest of the day 59 inches x 37 inch girth estimate 100 lbs. Also had a fat 53 inch x 38 inch fish. The ocean finally laid down around 4:00 and we had a nice ride home.
