A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Jul 23, 2013

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Our AM trips got in right before lunchtime like usual. This time was a little different since everyone actually had something different. For Nearshore one of our boats had a fishbox full of Triggerfish that some were the size of a dinner plate. Some pretty fish! Triggerfish get their name because of their top dorsal fin that sticks straight up and when you push on it, it won't lay down. The trick is to push the smaller fin directly behind it that allows the fin to move and acts like a "trigger" The fin will lay down, but only if you push the trigger. Kind of a neat thing to know if you ever catch one! But be careful they have teeth!! Other than the Spanish Mackerel fishing that we have been having the Nearshore also had some Bluefish caught, White Dotter Sharks, Bonitas and maybe an Amberjack or two but they didn't bring them in. Inshore had some great Speckled Trout fishing and a couple Sea Mullets on spinning reels, also some flounder. A man and his son from Pennsylvania got to hook up to a nice Cobia that weighed in at 54 lbs!! Pretty work guys! Our sweet headboat The Miss Oregon Inlet has been fishing every AM and PM trip and reporting some good croakers, seamullet, and flounder fishing. The thing about fishing on the Miss O.I. is you never really know what kind of fish you might hook up on. Some of our bottom fish are pretty interesting looking around here and the kids absolutely love them. Each trip goes out for 4.5 hours and the boat has a men's and women's bathroom and you are welcome to bring a small lunchbox cooler that fits under the bench. Its better to book in advance and get here early for us to get a headcount since we must have 10 people to go! Sundays are the only day the boat doesn't fish so call us today and book your tickets over the phone or pay cash and receive a dollar discount! We will be down here all day waiting for the boats to come in, keep up with us on Facebook by clicking the link on the homepage or Follow us on Twitter to find out when the boats start coming in! Some of you don't really like Facebook but if you want to see tons more pictures and updates its really worth creating an account! Besides if you go fishing with us you can see your own pictures in our Albums page! Don't forget to share them with your friends and save them to your computers! Try it out!!!
