Bill....Bill...

Sorry for the lack of updates but it has been a hectic couple of weeks. Hurricane Bill passed offshore and did not have much effect other than a big swell and surf off the eastern beaches. The bass fishing continues to be great on non commercial days. I had Carmen and his family out for an evening charter last week and we just hammered keeper bass all evening long on light plastics and plugs.

Tuna fishing has been up and down. Most of the action seems to be later in the day vs early. My lower unit gave up the ghost last week and I was down 4 days out of a 5 day booked week! Fall is coming shortly and we will be out on the hunt for bluefin on LT and fly for the rest of the season. I do have some bass trips booked here and there but it seems most folks got tuna on the brain this time of year.

While my boat was down I decided to try my hand at lobstering and obtained my 10 pot license. I have the traps now and working on getting them all put together so that we can pull a few at the end of our charters so that customers can have a few to take home. ....

I have a film crew from Germany showing up soon and we hope to get enough footage for a dvd and magazine article....Looking forward to fishing with these guys and more so seeing the finished product produced!

Till next tide...

More bassing

This morning I had Sam Gottoff and friends onboard for a half day bass and blues trip...We launched early and found HOT action way away from the fleet...We limited out on bass in just over an hour then worked to catch two more bluefish which are generally the nuisance. We hooked several more but lost them boatside for one reason or the other. The morning had a bit of whale watching and a stop in P town for some coffee and portugese bakery goods....Beautiful morning on the water!

Week in review....

Sorry for the lack of posts....This past week proved many highs and lows on the Carla Noelle. The tuna fishing was tough at best. There were some bites but most of the fish we heard taken were far off or a one here and a one there. The unfortunate thing about it is you cannot be everywhere once the bite happens. With that said, we zigged when we should of zagged. The bass fishing on the other hand has been ok to excellent during the last week. I try my best to give my customers a quality experience by fishing AWAY from the crowds and fleet....I do know that if I was booking a fishing trip that I would want that type of experience as well. If you want to throw eels with 200 other boats in close quarters and catch some nice fish then god bless ya but it is not what fishing with Fin Addiction is all about!

I'll be out looking for tuna on Monday with a new party so lets hope we step in it...

Here are a few pics of the lovely ladies we have had onboard this past week....Till next tide....
