FISHING OUT OF PIRATES COVE MARINA IN 2012
|
The OBSESSION, with Richard Wright working the deck, had some excellent catches in 2011. Folks fishing on the OBSESSION earned 210 NC citations for meritorious catches, including 142 for white marlin releases, 7 for blue marlin releases, 15 for sailfish releases, 7 for wahoo, 8 for dolphin, 1 for yellowfin tuna, 6 for bigeye tuna and 24 for bluefin tuna catches and releases. Combined with the 916 sailfish we released in Mexico January- March 2011,for the second year in a row, customers on the Obsession released over 1000 billfish in a single season. The following is a monthly snapshot of a few of the very good catches on the OBSESSION last year
The OBSESSION is available for charter out of Pirate's Cove mid March thru at least Thanksgiving weekend (visit our website). We leave the dock at or before 5 AM and return around 5 PM. You can book trips by calling me (252-480-0094) or by emailcaptjeff@mndspring.com. We head out of Oregon Inlet with the run offshore taking around two hours. The cost of chartering the OBSESSION (as well as all offshore full day charter boats fishing out of Pirate's Cove Marina in 2012) is $1800 for 1- 6 people. This includes bait, tackle, and ice for your fish. (If diesel prices go above $4.00/gal, their will be a fuel surcharge added...fuel is currently around $3.78). A tip for the mate (15%-20%) is customary, assuming service is satisfactory.
Deckhand Richard Wright, who did a great job fishing the 2009 - 2011 North Carolina fishing season's, is back for the 2012 season on the OBSESSION and fishing is already in full swing. We have fished around 20 days since we got back from Mexico, and have boated several limits of yellowfin tuna, a few bigeyes, nice catches of gaffer & school dolphin, and released a 400lb blue marlin.
