November 29, 2009. What a beautiful day in the bay! Chip and Drew were aboard for a light tackle trip today in 70 degree weather. Schoolies were bunched up and we caught them on ultralight tackle and fly rods. Kept a limit and released many more.

November 21, 2009. It's been a while due to weather. Had a great trip today for Pete and Charley catching school stripers. Fishing started out a bit slow, but things got cooking and we ended up with a limit of decent fish, and released quite a bit more.

June 28, 2009. We had a party of three from Richmond for our first deep drop trip in a while. We enjoyed great weather all day with lots of two-tone dolphins and yellowfin tuna swimming around the boat. We came home with a limit of wreckfish, two golden tilefish, two barrel fish, a dozen black bellied rosefish and a handful of black sea bass. I’ll post pictures when I get them.

June 20, 2009. Finally out after a long run of nasty weather. We fished two half day charters today. The Robinsons fished in the morning. We started with several Spanish Mackerel and then tried looking for some flounder. We caught a few undersized flounder. It was a beautiful morning, but water clarity was still off due to the recent rains.
We went back out late afternoon for an evening red drum trip. The wind had kicked up, and we thought about cancelling but our charter wanted to go. I knew would be safe, but thought we may have a wet ride across the bay. Conditions on the bay were much better than we expected, and we had a great trip. We caught several sharks up to five feet long and ended up with one 38 inch drum. Our party couldn’t be happier.
All in all, two good trips.

March 22 2009: Finally got out after a long, cold, windy spell. Left the dock with five anglers on board and headed to the wrecks. It was a chilly but beautiful day, with not a cloud in the sky. We picked through a lot of spiny dogfish, but ended up with a nice haul of large seabass and four blueline tilefish. We had a nice showing of humpback whales and common dolphin for much of the day as well.
