Black, white, and stinky Friday

Well, this is a report that no charter captain wants to give, but I will.  We got the ol’ skunk-a-roo on my charter this morning.  We headed to Currituck bridge in the freezing cold and set up on the troll for stripers.  Not even 5 minutes later…. FISH ON!  Not even 10 seconds later …. FISH OFF!  That was the bulk of the action today.  We trolled, casted, jigged, prayed to the fishing gods, whatever we could and just had no luck. We had a couple other short strikes.  Talked to a couple other boats that held up zeros too.   Sorry guys!  Great effort thats for sure.

Photogenic

Matt and I brought along the real cameras for some photos in our new AFTCO gear.  The conditions were perfect for shooting. . . no wind, golden afternoon light, and some cooperative trout.  We caught some solid trout and managed a few good pics.

Autumn is here!

My wife and I (well, mostly my wife) brought in another beautiful baby girl into the world yesterday!  Her name is Autumn Faye Lusk and she weighed in at 7lb 5oz and was 19.5″ long.   We named her Autumn because it is the time of year that we both love the most. How can you not?!  Yesterday was the perfect day for her to come.  70 degrees, fun waves, and the fishing was off the hook!  Thats EXACTLY what Autumn is all about =)     We are so happy, and want to thank everyone for all the love.  Here she is with her big sister Hazel!

From the sand

Matt and I headed down to the beach last night to try and catch a 15lb trout…….. We managed a few 15 inchers and also lucked into a school of nice upper slot pups.  All fish came on mirrolures which for some reason makes it extra fun.  Thanks for checking.  Stripers are at the bridges so lets get out there, give me a call and we can book your trip!
