    Swell Rider Sportfishing, Rough and Ready charters.. NC 10/04 Grouper Fest!!!!

    Well since my charter canceled today my good friend Joe Hifko of Rough and Ready Charters who I commercial Grouper fish with called me last night to see if I want to do alittle commercial fishing today...Joe and I don't get a chance to do much fishing together during the main charter season so I jumped at the chance spend the day cartching Grouper and busting each other chops...We had our friend Phil join us for the day so we were set. We left New River Inlet alittle after 7AM and made the long run to the grounds, all 12 nm of it.. The first stop gave up a couple keepers and a ton of shorts. We made a few short moves and found fish on every stop. Anyone that say's North Carolina has a shortage of grouper hasn't fished down here.. The recruitment looks great!!!! There was tons of bait pushing on the surface and the King Mackeral were everywhere as well. Aside from the weather being perfect the best part was all these fish were caught insite of the beach... The fall Gag fishing looks like it's off to a great start.. I have to thank Joe again for everything he has taught me about grouper fishing in NC.. Remember it's only going to get better... " This was a commercial Trip" Ken

    The Gags were pretty fired up yesturday. Joe is definiatly in a leauge by himself when it comes to Grouper fishing. I've been very lucky to be able to learn from such a knowledgable fisherman. Ken
