Morehead City, North Carolina for giant bluefin tuna in January 2001:

John,

I wanted to to take a moment to thank you for the great opportunity to fish with you and the other captains, mates and fishing enthusiasts last weekend. And as if a great day of fishing wasn't enough, the tour of Alex Willis' boat yard afforded an experience that only a few people will ever enjoy. As an amateur wood worker and wooden boat enthusiast it really put the icing on a great time.
Thanks again, see you in Cape May.

Tom

This fish took two hours and four gaffs plus one trip to the chiropractor for the angler to get it in. The strength of these Giants is awesome.

We fish for Giant Bluefin out of Morehead City, North Carolina in December and January. Most of the time these giants are only a half mile to three miles off the beach. With the protection of Cape Lookout and being so close to the beach we hardly ever get blown out. It is a only an eight hour drive from Philadelphia and often the temperatures are in the 60's in January with the Warm Gulf Stream water so close to the North Carolina Coast.

In mid-March we start fishing the edge of the Gulf Stream for Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin and Wahoo. The Gulf Stream is only about an hours run from our marina in Morehead City, NC and the water and air temperatures will be in the high 70's by early April.

We can make arrangements for reasonable lodging and visiting the famous Harkers Island boat yards where Carolina style sportfisher boats are hand built.

Giant Bluefin Tuna caught over Christmas holidays 2003.

This fish weighed almost 400 pounds and was just under 80 inches long. It was caught in 52 feet of water less than 2 miles from the beach.

John, I was in Charlie Pilgrim's party last weekend, and I just wanted to say we had a great time!
Don and Chris were great people to fish with. I've been on charters with nasty mates and screaming captains,
but those 2 are just like fishing with friends. They made us feel right at home.
