April 4, 2009

Had a great trip April 4th to Frying Pan Tower had limit of kngs and also some very large sharks. Great action almost non stop all the trip.

Stream water has cooled this week but looking at temp chart a new push of warm water should be coming in late next week.

The week end of April 18th is looking like nice sea conditions starting Friday with Sunday being the best day.

Combination of warm mwater push and light winds should make for good fishing.

Stream has wahoo, blackfin tuna and mahi.

Grouper out in the 40 to 48 mile range. Kings are in the 67 degree water.

Nearer to shorer first bostom macheral were caught last week end at 10 mile cars. Blue fish on the beach.

March 9, 2009

The warm water is still off shore.

The gulf stream has seen some blackfin tuna and wahoo. April should see the first yellowfin and as the warm water comes on the break the mahi will follow!

Bottom fishing is very good at 40 miles plus with huge black sea bass and grouper!

Kings still out 45 plus miles due to cold water closer to shore! Look for water to move in in April so fish should be in the 30 mile range soon!

December 21, 2008

Happy Holiday's!

Wishing all a safe Hoiday Saeson and Great 2009!

Light Winds, Slight Seas, Screaming Reels and Tight Lines!

Even though the year is coming to a claso some EXCELLANT fishing can be had at this time of year!

MUST WATCH WEATHER! Look for NICE HIGH PRESSURE and hit the water!

Last year Gulf Stream privded last sail fo season between Xmas and New Years! Lots of big Wahoo and even a stray Mahi!

Closer in to shore the King Bite can be unreal this time of year! Make sure you llok for the 65 dedree water temp, locate structure and bait near that temperature and you should catch all you want! I suggest fast trolling to locate fish then change to slow trolling for great action. Frying Pan Tower was excellant thgis time of year in years past!

Grouper Bite is also EXCELLANT!!! I like the 35 to 40 mile range ledges and catch some great fish! Also monster black sea bass can be had!!!

Hope to hear from many of you in 2009!

Have Fun and Be Safe!!

October 13, 2008

Grouper bite has been excellant with many big gags and reds! They are as close as 15 miles with best bite further off shore! Try live pinfish for great gag grouper action.

Nearer to shore monster spanish have been caught had 2 over 7#.

Time to book a fall trip! Water temps have fallen and action will only get better!

This last week end northeaster has the near shore water stirred up should take a few days for it to clear. Bad news is this week end starting Friday 10/17/08 another blow is in the forcast! The week end looks like we will not be going off shore at all!

Seems like mid week has been the best sea conditions!

Hope the trend chnages!

Real thich at 24 miles! Fast troll seawitch or drone spoon. Slow trolling dead cigars also very good!

Good fishing e mail or give me call let's go fishing!

Capt. Rod

March 15, 2008

Nice sea conditions have allowed going to the gulf stream.

Catch of blackfin tuna, wahoo and mahi! A blue marlin was hooked at the 100 fathom curve. The fishing should only get better and was told the yellow fin were down off of Charleston last week. They should be making thier way north in the next couple of weeks.

The blackfin were caught way back behind the boat! Long lines were 200 plus yards out. Light leader and small baits were the ticket. Sreader bar rigs also scored well on the tuna!

Closer in caught grouper and snaller on the way home. Bottom fished in the 40 mile range with nice catch. Kings are still holding in the 68 degree water in the 40 mile range!

February 22, 2008 Update

Spring is just around the corner and the offshore fishing is starting to pick up!

Time to get the boat ready, sharpen the hooks get new line on the reels and check out the tackle.

I highly suggest that if your boat has set all winter or even a few weeks drop it in the water get the motor running runn it for an hour in the water way make sure all ectronics are working ect! Best to do it on a Saturday when you can not fish than start off shore and have problems!

Gulf Stream - Blackfin Tuna have shown up along with some very nice wahoo! Pull up temp shot and look for the temp changes! Could be as much as 10 miles in shore of the break! When running out be sure to watch your temp gauge for changes!

Grouper are still going very strong in the 40  mile range!

Kings near the tower and I heard some actually near WR4. I was not there but I know push of water came in closer to shore and with that 66 degree water could well have been kings! Again look at water temp shot when planning your king trip! 66 plus degree water is the ticket!

February 8, 2008 Update

King Bite was excellant last week end. Found the fish 40 miles off shore in 65 degree water. They were holding over live bottom area we had caught them a few years back this time of year. Fast troll drone spoons and sea witch with belly strips or trolling deep diver plugs to find the fish then switch over to slow trolling dead baits! Nice fish with many near and over 20#.

Black sea bass bite also excellant last week end with many in the 3# range. Live bottom in the 25 to 30 mile range seemed to be best bite!

Grouper bite is on ledges 40 miles off shore.

No stream action to report!

Watch the water temps and locations were you find temp breaks and live bottom areas!

January 26th Update

Well winter has set in! The warm water at the tower has gone! Done to 60 degrees this AM.

The black sea bass are still in the 20 to 30 mile range!

Grouper in the 35 to 45 mile range.

Kings - need to find that 67 to 68 degree water. Best with good bottom near by. Troill drone spoons and sea witches at 5 to 6 knots to locate the fish! Trolling deep diving plugs also work great to get deep! The fish are deep and you must get down to find them!

Gulf Stream has been hit and miss with a few blackfin and wahoo. There was some real nice temp breaks out on the shelf but the clouds have prevented a good water shot for days!

Will update again in next week or so.

Email if you want to discuss something!

December 19,2007

Happy Holidays to all!

Many have winterized the boat already! Some of the best fishing can be found during this time of the year! The run to the fish is longer but the results are rewarding!

Nearer to shore try a bottom trip for Black Bass! Easy to catch and great table fare! 10 to 20 mile range live bottom and small ledges are best bets! Cut bait and squid will do the trick. 2 hook bottom rig is all you need.

30 to 40 Mile range - Grouper are thick! Look for ledges with good marks of fish. Anchor up and use cigar minnows, squid, cut bait or vertical jig! Move around until you locate the fish!

40 Mile range and near the tower KINGS!!! Know your limit and I suggest only keeping the bigger fish grap smaller fish by tail and release! Slow troll dead bait and have great action. Try some light spinning gear! 10# spinning gear with 20# plus king is a great fight! You will loose some fish but what sport! Be sure to stay out of the commerical boats way they are fast trolling.

Gulf Stream - Wahoo, Tuna, Mahi and Sailfish all caught is last 2 weeks! My last trip 2 weeks ago had sailfish and real nice wahoos! missed a number of fish that we felt were small tuna or more sails! Consult water temp cahrts find the temp breaks the closer to the bottom break the better!

Keep on fishing! Less boats and great potential.

Boats Shows in January! I will be at Greensboro January 4-6th. Seminars and working the Bug- Em- Bait booth. January 11-13th in Raliegh doing the same and January 25-27th in Richmond, VA! Stop by and see me or take in a seminar!

Hope to see all come 2008. Let's go fishing! I will continue to update my web site all winter!

Fishing Report

October 21st, 2007

Caught over 120 kings in last 10 days! 6 Over 30#, more than 30 over 20#. Call to book trip! 7 hour slow trolling with 20# test line is great sport with many times 3 or 4 fish on at same time. No live bait frozen cigar minnows or ballyho will get job done!

Grouper bite is going strong also like the 30 plus mile range for all varieties!

Stream is wahoo! Boats are catching 5 to 10 fish per trip! Some sails also have been caught plus a few mahi!

Capt. Rod

September 7, 2007

Well summer has come and gone too fast!

This was the year of the near shore sailfish!

Kings came into the 10 mile rock area in July with nice fish into the 30# range.

The mahi seemed to move farther north as the summer went on not like 2006 when I was catching 4 to 10 nice gaffer mahi per trip. Have started to catch a few of late in the 20 mile range. Looking for them to come back as the northern waters cool and they start the southern return trip. Look for that 78 degree water in October!

The grouper bite is on!!!!

Catching limit in just a couple hours on EVERY TRIP biggest gag has been 24# not keeping any red grouper under 23" even though the legal limit is 20"! TIME TO BOOK GROUPER TRIP!!! Also catching nice kings on lite lines while grouper fishing!

Looking for EXCELLLANT waho bite this fall in the stream! Last year caught sail in January!

Kings will stack up in the 10 mile range the 10 fathom places. Refer to NC Sprtsman article from last year on me and the GREAT king fishing in the fall at that range!68 degree water temps are what you need.

Book a king trip can do even on half day trip!

Fall is here and fishing will be GREAT!

April 15,2007

Since last report the week end weather was good 2 days and the rest were a blow out! Sometimes morth nature does not get the program together!

Gulf Stream - Yellow and Black Fin have started to show up. Need that good temperature break near the shelf and it is ON! Other wise real hit or miss. Wahoo continue to be good with some real nice 50# plus whoos being caught. Mahi have seen a couple when we get that good temp break. Had nice weed line 2 weeks ago but not a single mahi on it! The next coule of weeks it should really heat up!

KINGS in the 18 to 23 m ile range! Had nice catch of kings in last few days all inside of 25 miles! Also saw a number of flying fish in 68 degree water! Good signs for early summer!

No spanish yet water still near 60 degrees on the beach just need a solid week of nice warm weather and they should be here!

Bottom fishing is still very good with grouper and nice black bass.

Give me a call ot e mail and book a trip it should just get better and better as we head into May!

Tight lines and good fishing!

March 16, 2007

Well winter appears to be leaving us and the spring run in the stream has started!

Time to book April trip for the stream! Tuna have already arrived and the wahoo are big.

Bill fish have been caught and my last trip saw 3 free jumping!

I feel April will be hot and wide open!

Give me a call!

Closer to shore the kings are at 40 -45 mile range and could be moving nearer as soon as water warms up! I would guess with water moving in from stream could be at 23 mile rock before ned of April!

30 to 40 miles the grouper are biting!

Near shore no action to report just need some nice warm weather and a good strong east south east blow to move the warmer water in.

Mid April could see first spanish down near the shoals! 

December 10,2006

The fishing is very strong kings at 40  miles all you want!

Gulf stream is GREAT! Wahoo and billfish. When weather is nice still need to go. It is alive with bait and the fish are there!

I was lucky enough to be featured in an article in the November issue of NC Sportsman this year about finding and catching late fall kings.

Hope to see you again next year and at this years boat shows or fishing school.

Also the late fall fishing has been great when the weather allows us to go off shore. Wahoo a plenty in the stream, kings in the 30 m ile range and bottom fishing for grouper is best this time of year. Get a nice weather break and do some late fall fishing you will be very pleased with the results!

The year is coming to a close and we want to thank all that went fishing with OnMyWay this year.

We had a very good year of fishing from wahoo and tuna in the stream to sail fish at 16 miiles and the msot mahi we have ever caught on the popular 3/4 day trips.

Big spanish ran longer this year than before.

Please look for pictures of your trip in our up dated 2006 year in review coming in January.

Time to go fall fishing! The kings are real hot with big fish being caught on each trip!

There are 8 plus great weeks of fishing still ahead!

Kings on the half to full day trips!

Look for the November 2006 copy of North Carolina Sportsman on the stands today. OnMyWay Charters is the feature article about the great fall king fishing in the 10 mile range. The fish are there!

Grouper fishing on a 10 hour bottom trip is also very strong!

Gulf Stream fall wahoo bite is getting ready to turn on. Also some mahi are still at the break as well as mixed tuna. The real target is the BIG Fall Wahoo!

Call or  email to book your trip.

Thanks, Capt. Rod

Sorry for the dealy in a fishing report but been on the water.

Upuntil the last couple of weeks when the seas got very rough and ocean got stirred up the fishing was very good. Catching kings and mahi in the 18 to 25 mile range. No huge kings but lots of fish caught slow trolling. Caught nice mahi in the 20# range on most trips.

Just went bottom fishing and if you want some great table fare book your trip for this fall. Caught full limit of grouper plus nice 10# red snapper out 30 miles. This is a 10 hour trip max 4 people.

The gulf stream is on and off so far this fall some trips nice catch of wahoo and a few black fin tuna. Sail fish also at the break.

Look for near shore kings to fire off as the water temp drops and the baits starts running the beach. Live bait trip will be red hot for larger kings in the fall! The shoals are good for kings as well as a 10 hour trip to the tower for some great action.

Give me a call or email and lets go fish this fall fishing will be very good a water temps drop. Saw 6 degree drop at the beach thsi alst week. Need to let the water clear alittle for near shore to be better.
