Hatteras Offshore Fun Fishin' Trips

ADVERTISE HERE

Important Note: This post is intended for fishermen/women whose discretionary funds are being pinched severly by the current economy.

If you can afford to charter one of the full time professional charter boats in Hatteras, by all means do so. God knows their business is hurting as badly as most and they need the revenue more than I need to go fishing.

If you genuinely cannot afford a professional charter at this point, feel free to give me a shout if you are interested.


Greetings folks!

Later this month I'll be running a 46' Bertram up to Hatteras Village from Stuart Florida.

I plan to do spend most of September & October fishing offshore, weather permitting, of course.

Basically, it is a great opportunity to do some hands-on, world class fishing for the cost of bait, fuel & ice with a licensed Captain with 20+ years experience fishing the offshore grounds in North Carolina; not to mention an opportunity to make some new friends.

The boat is reasonably fast sporting twin 650 HP 8V92's, air conditioning, a full complement of modern electronics & safety gear.

Also, she is fully equipped with IGFA legal 30 and 50 pound class gear.

For additional information, feel free to give me a shout at 215-679-4620 (office) or 215-679-3311 (cell).

While we've done a fair amount of chunking, when I fished the canyons in years gone by, I never really got into jigging offshore.

Given the wide variety of species that are available offshore of Hatteras most of the time we're trolling dead baits.

Afternoon Tim,

We still have some dates available for the latter half of Sept. & October. As you may be aware, both of these months offer some of the best fishing of the year for the Hatteras area!

Just give us a shout when the spirit moves you.

Morning Amanda,

If anything, I'm afraid I'd head the other way towards the Keys. I'm one of these guys who thinks anything under 70 degrees is a bit chilly.

Good day all!

Well, it took us 10 days longer than expected to get the boat up to Hatteras as the boat yard was running behind schedule.

The good news is that we had a safe journey and she's now in Hatteras in good shape and ready to fish.

I had to head North to take care of some business, but I plan on heading back to Hatteras around 10/18 although I could leave a few days earlier if I have a crew or two that wants to fish.

Give me a shout via phone or email if you are interested in a 'Fun Fishing' trip per my original post,

I did get lucky as unbeknownst to me, a fellow named Andy took these shots of my new toy, the ‘Tempest’, while I was running her back up the sound to our slip at the end of our days fishing on Thursday.

Apparently, he was heading home from Hatteras to Ocracoke on the ferry. Since he was kind enough to send me the photos gratis, here's a plug for his website. http://reelbuzz.com/

Thats a good question. Should be about to get right. Maybe after the next front. If anyone is doing one of these trips, let me know.
