Cobia(PHOTO) and Big Red Drum(PHOTO) are at Hatteras.  Lots of Spanish Mackerel have shown up in Hatteras as well.  There have also been lots of small Speckled Trout, some Flounder, & some Bluefish out of Oregon Inlet.  The tower is back on the Blue Boat(PHOTO) and it is ready to go for the Hatteras fishing trips.  Been fishing out of the Yellow Boat out of Oregon Inlet.  Also check out www.obxdriftwood.com when you get a chance.  Something looks familiar.  Those of you that own rental property need one of these(PHOTO) 7 footers in your front yard.  Thank you to all of the following people for coming out fishing and putting up with me!  And you wonder why there is a disconnect between the fishermen and the federal management of our fishery.  (VIDEO)  These are the people that came up with the brilliant taxpayer funded idea of the 3 mile line....  5/14/12-Katie(PHOTO) & John(PHOTO) Klauzenberg, from Vermont/N.C.-Approximately 50 Bluefish up to 3 lbs., 4 Speckled Trout up to 13&3/4 inches, morning, Oregon Inlet/Roanoke Sound.  Trout fishing was slow for us, but the Bluefish(PHOTO) were up top with birds on them.  Double-Headers(PHOTO) almost every cast(PHOTO)!  5/13/12-Brain, Matt, Hugh("Q,"), & Matt, of the McGovern party from Chantilly, Virginia-2 Spanish Mackerel up to 3 lbs., 2 Bluefish up to 3 lbs., one 50+ lb. Red Drum, one 35 lb. Black-Tip Shark, one throwback Cobia, Atlantic Ocean(Oregon Inlet).  First Cobia we saw today, ate the bucktail, or so we thought.  After about being spooled Matt & Hugh tag teamed it back to the boat.  When it finally surfaced it was a Dinosaur Red Drum(PHOTO).  He must have been hanging out under the Cobia.  Second Cobia was an inch short.  Third one I pulled off.  It wasn't meant to be.  Weatherman blew it today.  These guys deserve Viking horns for they went through.  Thanks guys for the monumental effort.  5/12/12 AM-Winnie & Steve Fornash(PHOTO), from Reedville, Virginia-Approximately 30 Speckled Trout up to 15 inches(2 keepers), 19 Bluefish up to 3 lbs., morning Oregon Inlet/Roanoke Sound.  We caught all but two of our Blues casting double rigs then THE D.O.A. let us anchor beside him for what turned into really good Trout bite.  Sorry about the poor quality on the picture.  Obviously, I haven't figured out how to use my new camera.  5/7/12 PM-Isaac(PHOTO), Wess(PHOTO), Jared, and Chris, from Ohio-4 Bluefish up to 3 lbs., one 16 inch Flounder, afternoon Oregon Inlet.  We had to work our tails off to catch what we did this afternoon.  But, "The Future Fishermen of America(PHOTO)" scrapped out some supper!  5/6/12-The Whetstone party, from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania-one 35 lb.(PHOTO) Black-Tip Shark(PHOTO), one throwback Cobia, approximately 35 Bluefish up to 3 lbs., approximately 20 Spanish Mackerel up to 3 lbs.(PHOTO), Atlantic Ocean(Hatteras).  Less than perfect conditions today.  We saw four Cobia.  Dan finally saved us and landed one.  Dan also landed the first Shark of the year for the boat.  It was a good one.  Plenty of Spanish and Blues to keep us busy as we were looking.  Wish we had hooked one of the monsters that we saw.  5/5/12 PM-Leon, Kevin, & Steve, from New Jersey-4 Flounder up to 15&12 inches(one keeper)(PHOTO), slow afternoon Oregon Inlet.  We got a nice keeper on our first pass, then it was a struggle from then on. Thanks guys for the great effort.  Sounds like it was a bloodbath on the Cobia in Hatteras today...  5/4/12-Tom, Brent, & Kevin Lutz, from Cary, N.C.-Approximately 40 Bluefish(PHOTO) up to 2 lbs.(PHOTO), 10 Speckled Trout up to 13&3/4 inches(PHOTO), 7 Flounder(PHOTO) up to 17 inches(PHOTO)(4 keepers), Roanoke Sound/Oregon Inlet/Atlantic Ocean.  Good fishing today.  The guys landed fish at most every spot we tried.  5/3/12-Roger & Doug, of the Brown party, from Ohio-Approximately 15 Bluefish up to 2 lbs., 11 Spanish Mackerel up to 3 lbs.(PHOTO), Atlantic Ocean(Hatteras).  Good Spanish & Bluefishing while we were looking for the big one.  Finally saw one and I pulled it off.  Great effort by Roger & Doug.  Wish that I had done you guys a better job.  5/1/12 AM-Tyler, Ron, Greg, & Michael(PHOTO), of the Brown party, from South Carolina-Approximately 40 Bluefish up to 3 lbs.(PHOTO), 10 Speckled Trout up to 13&3/4 inches, Oregon Inlet/Roanoke Sound.  Well, May is usually the best month for casting to the Blues under the birds.  They were a couple of hours late, but at 9 o'clock this morning all of the sudden, there they were(PHOTO). Right on schedule.  Great light tackle casting action(PHOTO) for about an hour!  Double-headers on the double-rigs.  Once that died down, we re-located and went after Speks(PHOTO).  That was real good when we arrived and then just like that, it was over.  4/25/12 PM-Good Stuff(PHOTO)!  Henry hooks the first Oregon Inlet Bluefish for the boat in 2012.  4/24/12 AM-Jeannie(PHOTO) & Evan(PHOTO)  Becker, from San Diego, California-2 Speckled Trout up to 16 inches(one keeper), one 16 inch Rockfish(Striped Bass)(PHOTO), slow morning Roanoke/Croatan Sounds.  We tried like heck to get them going, but it never happened.  A couple of degrees warmer water would have helped.  4/23/12-Billy Long(PHOTO), From California, Maryland-Approximately 35 Rockfish(Striped Bass) up to 17&3/4 inches, 8 Speckled Trout up to 18 inches(2 keepers), Full Day Albemarle/Roanoke Sounds.  All fish landed casting light tackle today.  4/19/12 PM-Me & Henry bombed out this afternoon looking for Speckled Trout in Kitty Hawk Bay.  Wind shifted from northeast to southeast about the time we left the dock a couple of hours before dark.  Southeast is the least...  They bit this morning.  4/14/12 AM-Campbell & Joe Dunn, of Richmond Virginia-10 Rockfish(Striped Bass) up to 4 lbs.(5 keepers), morning Albemarle Sound.  Quality(PHOTO), not quantity this morning.  Campbell was the big fish catcher!  A big Thank You to those of you that have paid above and beyond the call of duty!  It really helps to keep the boat from sinking.

Aboard THE BEACH BUM I prefer to have you casting and jigging bucktails, Swim Baits, FIN-S', spoons, plugs, or live baiting over trolling.  If we can catch them casting or on live bait that is how we will do it unless you prefer trolling.  Bear in mind, some days we  have to suck it up and troll.  We land our fish on the lightest tackle that we can get away with.  Aboard THE BEACH BUM there is no mate.  YOU GET TO SET THE HOOK ON YOUR FISH instead of a mate setting the hook and handing you the rod.  Remember, you can also check the LATEST RESULTS section of the web page to see how we have done every trip we make aboard THE BEACH BUM. 

SCHEDULE

COBIA(up to & over 70 lbs.) should show up around the first of May at Ocracoke and  should be all over the place out of Hatteras towards the end of May.  This is mostly sight casting.  We do catch them chumming on the days with no visibility.  Plenty of healthy Sharks on the chumming days.  The Big Red Drum and keeper sized Puppy Drum should be around throughout the month as well.  Lot's of Bluefish around to cast to with the lighter tackle also.  One hour drive from Oregon Inlet.  The BEACH BUM boat will be available for trips out of Teach's Liar Marina.  The fish should be around through the end of May out of Hatteras.  Once the fish are closer to Oregon Inlet, I will move the BEACH BUM boat there.  All day trips recommended(better odds).  I will try on a 3/4 or 1/2 day(real tall order).

Rockfish did not show up on the shoals(zero) and at the bridge(a few were caught) at Oregon Inlet in 2010.  Hopefully this was a fluke and is not going to be a trend.  I will have one boat docked at Oregon Inlet in November either way.  Once the big fish show up, I absolutely will be fishing at Oregon Inlet for the big ones if they show up.  I am open for all loacations(Oregon Inlet/Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Croatan, Albemarle, & Currituck Sounds) for all of November.  Remember, every year is different and things can change.  The bottom line is that I will be fully prepared this year to get you wherever the fish are!  It takes an hour & a half to an hour & 45 minutes in a heated automobile from O.B.X. to The Bay Bridge.  Species-Big Rockfish(Striped Bass)(in ocean), school sized Rockfish(Striped Bass)(in sound), Redfish(Red Drum)(possibly), Tautog, Speckled & Gray Trout(Weakfish)(possibly), Bluefish(possibly), Flounder(possibly).  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)

Winter Fishing Trips 2012/2013(December-Early March)-I will be available for fishing out Oregon Inlet(O.B.X., N.C.) or Rudee Inlet(Virginia Beach).  One boat will be at each location.  The fish did not make it to Oregon Inlet last year(2011/2012) like they did the year before(2010/2011).  Your best bet is to be flexible.  My recommendation is to fish out of the location that is closest to the fish.  Weekdays are much less crowded than the weekends.  If you can make it during the week there is a lot less pressure on the fish which greatly increases your chances at catching them jigging.  Bring your rubber boots, rain gear, a Big cooler, and a strong mental fortitude for the bumpy days.  The decision to fish a scheduled winter-time trip will be made the day(morning) before the trip, or if absolutely necessary, the night before the day before the trip.   For those of you that need a room in Virginia Beach:  Days Inn(800)843-7096-$29.95(Sunday-Thursday), $34.95(Friday & Saturday) if you ASK FOR THE FISHERMAN'S SPECIAL!  Best Western(800)344-3342-$41.00 Seven days a week.  The rooms at both places have two double beds.  The Best Western has been recently remodeled.  Please do not call me three, four, five days, or a week before a scheduled trip and ask me to make an impossible decision.  I am not a weatherman, I am a fisherman.  Thank you!

*Don't Forget About*-HOG HUNTING TRIPS!!!-If you get weathered out for you Striper fishing you now have an option.  Or, do both!  Take a guided hunt on the sound side of Carova(4X4) Beach.  There are so many up there, the season is now open year round.    Pork Bar-B-Que & Striper Fillets.  Call Jimmy Hillsman at (252) 202-4688 to set up a hunt.

DECEMBER(2012)-I am currently OPEN on 12/1, 12/2, 12/3, 12/4, 12/5, 12/6, 12/7, 12/8, 12/9, 12/10, 12/11, 12/12, 12/13, 12/14, 12/15, 12/16, 12/17, 12/18, 12/19, 12/20, 12/21, 12/22, 12/23, 12/27, 12/28, 12/29, 12/30, 12/31.  I will be scheduling 1/2 day, 3/4 day, or All day trips from December 1st-December 20th out of Oregon Inlet.  I will only be scheduling All day ocean trips from December 15th-December 31st out of Oregon Inlet/Rudee Inlet(Virginia Beach).  I will have a boat available for fishing the Atlantic Ocean waters near Virginia Beach & the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel out of Lynnhaven/Rudee Inlet, Virginia Beach area throughout December.  We had great Rockfish(Striped Bass) fishing in the ocean waters near Virginia Beach the past two Decembers.  For you meathogs, there are a lot of fish landed in December in legal(keeper) waters.  We generally have good Rockfish(Striped Bass) fishing around the Bridge/Tunnel the days that we fish there in December.  Plenty of fish between 18 inches and 20 lbs. at the bridge.  You can keep them at the bridge at 18 inches through the end of the month.  We generally catch them casting swim baits and on eels at the bridge.  We catch the fish in ocean casting swim baits or trolling bucktails or plugs.  Either way, in December you have the option of fishing either location.  But, we cannot leave the bridge and enter the ocean with fish under 28 inches.  There is the possibility of big(over 40 lbs.) Rockfish around the shoals and bridge at Oregon Inlet for the first two weeks of December.  I absolutely will be fishing at Oregon Inlet for them in December.  I am open for either loacation for all of December.  I will only be booking full day trips for the Ocean fish out of Virginia Beach or at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  Out of Oregon Inlet I will be running 1/2, 3/4, or Full Day trips.  Remember, every year is different and things can change.  It is a possibility that the OBX Rockfish(Striped Bass) Sound fishery could take off again.  There have been a lot of fish on the west ends our sounds the last couple of years.  If that is the case, I will pull the boat out of Oregon Inlet, put it on the trailer and will fish the OBX sounds.  The bottom line is that I will be fully prepared this year to get you wherever the fish are!  It takes an hour & a half to an hour & 45 minutes in a heated automobile from O.B.X. to The Bay Bridge.  For those of you that opt for Virginia Beach and need a room:  Days Inn(800)843-7096-$29.95(Sunday-Thursday), $34.95(Friday & Saturday).  Best Western(800)344-3342-$41.00 Seven days a week.  The rooms at both places have two double beds.  The Best Western has been recently remodeled.  Species-Big Rockfish(Striped Bass) in ocean, school sized Rockfish(Striped Bass) in sound, Big Bluefish(possibly in ocean).  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)  (PHOTO)

 For those of you that went on one of  the early years crabbing trips and enjoyed them, you have that option again!  A good friend of mine, Chad Hemelright is now running the same type of trips.  The crab pots are already in the water with bait in them.  You get to go out on a real crab boat, pull the pots like a crabber, and bring the freshest crabs home for dinner.  Chad will do the dirty work(pulling & re-baiting the pots) if you want him to, or you can do it.  Kids love these trips!  Come to think of it, I can't ever remember a crabbing trip that I ran with kids where I ever had to pull or re-bait more than one pot.  Once the first crab pot came over the side and was rebaited, the kids couldn't wait to pull and rebait the next one.  Chad's boat is docked in Kitty Hawk, which is a short drive for those of you staying on the northern beaches.  Chad can be reached at (252) 475-0090 or (252) 261-2551.
