Double D!







Got out yesterday the 11th of May with Brian, wife windy and two sons Luke and Noah. Brian used to run the big inshore boat the Finatic a few years back and is quite the accomplished Captain and angler. I actually mated on the his boat a few times before I got cranked up years ago. So it was cool to have him and his family of the boat. The skies were cloudy offering feeble visibility. The East winds had the air and water temperatures sub par. They were stoked and I was too so against the odds we went for it. We got lucky and landed one fat cobia on the day. The highlight of the day was the school of big red drum we sightcasted to and these two young guns put a hurtin on them. We tossed bucktails on these fish hooked up pulled away from them got the fish in and then went back and whacked them a couple more rounds!

The 10th Dannie and Nina of the Double D Hunting Ranch came down and we had a great cobia day. We landed 9 fish, kept five and realeased four. Nina got the big citation fish of the day. Dannie hope you can get ole Kelly a chunk of cobia for dinner.

Did not fish 9th and 8th due to foul weather one day and Mother's day the next. From what I heard Mother's day was a good cobia day as well.

The cobia fishing has mostly been off the Hatteras area. Another week or two and we will be getting them off Oregon-Inlet area. The bluefishing has been great 0ff Oregon Inlet and the Spanish have been plentiful off Hatt. Some specks peppered in the sounds with black drum. Ches had a crabbie patty trip with the little guys and had some excellent blue crabs for them to take home. I included a pic I got the other morning with a legend who I look up to Omie Tillet who has forgot more fish than we will ever catch! Got some openings so give us a call!!! Thanks everyone
