Fished Friday and Saturday and both days were beautiful. Fished the Swansboro area Friday and the fishing was slow. We had an early bite and caught 2 small tuna and wahoo but then that was it. Saturday was better for us but it sounded like a slow day again. Put the lines in on the 500 line and had a small wahoo in the boat by 8am. We trolled down to 485 line and started back up the beach with no luck. At 11am on the 519 we had 5 lines start screaming and were able to boat 4 nice yellowfin tuna. A little later we got wrapped up with big chopper blues. They really made a mess of our tackle but we did manage to get two to the boat to release them back. Started to work our way back home when the planer rod went off and we boated a 46# wahoo. We had it weighed and got Brandon a citation. Sure thought the fishing would be better for everyone but that is fishing.

Bio: Captain Bill is a USCG licensed captain with 17 years of fishing experience in the Atlantic Beach/Morehead City, NC area. I retired last year after 30 years in the field of education. I was a teacher/football coach, athletic director, and the last 12 years a high school principal. I am now living my dream of charter fishing full time. I believe and encourage customer participation on the charter. With our charter you get to actually fish not just "ride and reel" unless that is what you want to do. I enjoy sharing my fishing experience with others and will do whatever is necessary to make your trip the best fishing experience you've ever had. The boat is a 33' Grady White Express (2006) and the electronics and tackle are first class.
