Fished the NE Corner of Big Rock on Tuesday. It sounded loke the fishing was slow for everyone. I think all this cold weather has hurt the fishing. There was no real temp break and there was hardly any current. We had several knock downs but no hook ups until our center rigger went off. The fish hit the green machine behind a bird. The fish peeled off a bunch of line on a 80 and it felt like a big fish. While fighting the fish another fish, probably a big wahoo hit the bird and cut off the bird which was rigged with 400 lb mono. We did end up the day with a 51 lb wahoo and citation for Zach. Jeff and Zach are doing a rigging school with me today and said they learned a lot about setting up a spread and fishing offshore. Suppose to have charters Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and the way the weather is looking I may not get any of them in. I was afraid the pretty March we had would result in a terrible April and so far it has been true.

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.
