Fishingstories tv show?? That would be nice may need some work on the commentary, editing and budget. Take a look here and give it a minute to load.

This past weekend the capt. booked a charter in Tampa Bay to see what all the excitement of FL fishing was about. The charter proved successful as Capt. Chris put us on a some Snook and Jack Crevalle. The Snook are like large mouth bass on steriods, these fish make your drag scream and love to jump. As if our drags hadn't had enough we stumbled on a huge school of Jacks and we nailed em on topwater. They put up one helluva fight. What a great way to kick off the wedding of Aj and Michelle, congrats!!

Well summer has come to a close and we kick off this striper season with a trip to Montauk, located at the tip of Long Island, NY with my favorite (and only) cousins, Mr. Dino & Mr. Mikey. This trip prooved to be striperful, we landed 10 of them all 12+lbs. with a few 20+. Wish LKN was as automatic as Montauk. The tactic was using live porgies, which we caught 1st. In between the stripers we caught dozens of bluefish, aka devil fish, b/c they usually tore up your rig and ate half your bait.

Fishing in the summer on LKN is rare, at least it is for this capt. Here's a couple of pics of 30SOMETHIN with her bimini up cruisin at about 2500 rpm. These photos were taken by Capt. Pedro

Alright Capt. Dad lands a bonified doormat. This fluke, or summer flounder for the southern crowd, won pops a nice chunk of change from the daily pool, and is rumored it missed the monthly prize only by a few oz. Thanks for the pic, its obvious this site needs a capt. who actually catches fish.

And one for the photographer. Just kidding Mr. Todd! He masterfully worked a roadrunner thru the docks and caught this largemouth. Sure beats catching catfish eh?!!

Well we weren't supposed to catch anything this am, these beauties were caught on the 'HooNu' maiden fishing charter. Give credit to capt. Pedro for his fine pontoon handling. I think the one on the left might be a record for the capt. on LKN.

Remember to retrieve your trolling lines slowly, here's a nice stripe that hit right next to the boat. Mr. Pedro's 1st charter on '30 SOMETHIN' almost landed him a free dinner.

Nothing like topwater action says, Mr. Hehately. This fish was caught on the 1st cast and 1st time usage of the new topwater bait. That never happens, or should I say will never happen again. We missed a bunch of em, landed a couple more of similiar size.

A lil honey in the honey hole. A Mr. Osprey sighting as well as a low pressure front is bound to produce a stripe. This pretty fish was caught topwater and then went zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Alright Pete way to go that's 5 points, I told ya that baby striper would fight harder than a slimey catfish. Mr. Pete had two others on the line but they managed to get away, you'll get em next time... btw you've got some big fingers! ;-)

Well the Mrs. always brings good luck, tho she generally gets too cold before she realizes what a mistake she made in booking a charter. This time we landed this nice stripe prior to the frozen look on her face.

Slow week as the captain recovers from 'bowl-icide'. Thanks to Jerome for giving the one handed capt. a 2nd hand to launch the boat. Here he is with a crappie that he was eager to eat, how'd it taste?? We picked up a small largie and had a run-off that was worth posting about, we'll get 'em next time...

A to the J and choprabx booked an early am charter in hopes to start the weekend off right. Each landed a nice largie, tho choprabx do lose his photo evidence, it was much larger than the big fella's, the capt. must attest, as he was responsible for not landing the photo.

Well even though your capt. has fallen overboard, he has not drowned, just hasn't caught much worth posting. Until Capt. Dad booked a few am charters. Now he may claim that he caught these fish, however there's 521 miles of shoreline on Lake Norman, and he indeed did catch em, but the capt. found them. This is the time of the year folks, when Mr. Osprey comes back, apparently so do the stripers. 3 keepers here and 1 pretty close to it. We thanked our photographer, Capt. Pedro with some fresh fillets.
