Sorry folks no pics of fish from the lake or Topsail Beach. Been off the lake and in the shop the past week, weather has not been so inviting. Here's a couple of mods to 30 SOMETHIN. The pole holder was a must, keeps em outta the way and folds down to fit in the garage. The rear deck provides additional seats, storage and a platform to stand on to more easily fall out of the boat. Just need to rework the electrical and situate and lock down the batteries to complete the job.

SOLD! Sorry to see her go but CLOSENFF has a new home in Tennessee. Good luck to her new Capt., he was smiling ear to ear.

OK crew. CLOSENFF has been put up for auction, but unfortunately eBay has deemed my auction illegal. Well going to have to find a buyer the old fashion way. Anyone interested? It is listed here.
PLEASE feel free to direct someone to it, or call the Capt. directly. Commissions will be paid in '30 SOMETHIN' charter gift certificates.

Hey fishingstories has a new "Guestbook". Leave a message to book a charter, complain that the Capt. hasn't updated the blog or just say hello! Check it out -> Sign the Capt.'s guestbook. Drop a message anytime, the guestbook link is permanently located on the left side links. And remember keep it clean or you may be used as bait on your next charter!

Well a warm front moved in and really turned the bite off. Haven't seen or heard anything being caught, although Mr. Gus claims fishing is good, but his charter$ are for sale.

Since the capt. has caught nothing in '04 he is graciously displaying Mr. Chris's lunker, caught here sometime when it was warm, on half a bunker. Nice catch Chris and the fish thanks you for releasing him.

This snap was captured on new year's eve. The capt. hoped to end the season with a keeper but the only thing out there to keep was his sanity. A look at the sky and the water is really calming, especially on a empty charter and no bite.

Now that fish is really big, however Mr. Aaron is much much bigger. He nabbed this largie 5 mins. into the drift outta the hot water discharge of the nuke plant, if you look close you can see that the fish has 3 eyes, and they say it's safe.
