OK, a front passed through last night
and the winds were blowing pretty strong today. A good day to see if the fishing was as good on the lures as I thought.
So, my wife Barbara and I along with Chris Wright AKA
"Critter" headed back to the lake to try once more. Critter wanted some fish for the freezor but I wasn't sure what the
results would be today since the weather had made big changes.
It was amazing!!!! I mean absolutely amazing!!!!
After we kept three limits of big bream and threw back hundreds of more big bream, I tied on a Crappie jig and started
catching nice crappies.
Around 4PM we left the fish biting and headed
home. I don't know what else to say except WOW and Thank You God For Your Blessings!!!!
P.S. C Striper, give me a call @ 845-2004.
Till next time, God Bless!!!!
Fish On!!!

I just figured that this
past weekends bream fishing trip was just a once in a lifetime deal. I thought that the planets and stars had to just be lined
up right or something like that.
So today I went fishing with my wife Barbara. Now
you got to know that Barbara isn't really concerned about catching fish, she just likes to be out on the water enjoying the
day.
I am not going to go on about this..............................
Todays catching on the bream bait / technique I developed
blew this past weekend's trip "out of the water"!!! To say it was amazing would be an under statement!!!! I just thought the
fish bit good two days ago!!!
For the first time in my life I actually said I was
tired of catching fish!!! In just 3 hours we had caught and released so many bream and that was after keeping just one limit
of bigger fish.
Barbara told me that she thought this
was amazing. She said anyone would love catching fish like this!!!
There were several (6 to 8) boats around us the
whole time today. We seen very, very few fish caught, however, we were double heading bream the whole time on just about
every cast!!!
All I can say at this time is WOW!!!
Till next time, God Bless Everyone!!!!
Fish On!!!!

JOB 18:5 The truth remains that if you do not prosper, it
is because you are wicked. And your bright flame shall be put out. (Read this scripture, it tells the rath of those that reject
God)
Now for my 2 cents worth. The fishing was beyond great. I have never caught so many bream and if
you know me I'm really not that great a fisherman. These other boats were fishing a spot, catching nothing, we went behind
them and wore the fish out. Lots of good fun and a nice day off from work and with my best friend. Thanks Butch!
God bless you all!!
Barbara
PS Ask Butch who caught the 2 biggest bream.

I am starting to get things back to normal around
here now so look out fish you ain't got long left!!!
The shows, schools, repairing the fuel tanks in the
Yeah Right II, rigging up our new inside boat, a 19' Carolina Skiff, and my winter job has had me left with little time this
winter.
And I promise I am going
to take a day soon and answer the 100+ emails I have. Thanks for writing, I haven't forgotten you, I just haven't had time
to reply lately but that too is about to change!!!
But, that's all about history now.... The Skifff is
ready, the fuel tanks are done, put back in and deck back on boat, the winter job is all but in the books, only one show left
in Greensboro,NC The Fish Fest School and N C Sportsman Magazine/ Wildlife Expo and then we will be back fishing full
time until the last weekend in August when I will be back at Bass Pro Shop in Charlotte,NC for the Saltwater Expo again
this year.
The King Mackerel are biting offshore if you know
where to go. If I knew where I would tell you, but, I have learned not to even ask. I was told that they were not at the Tower
from a boater that went there Saturday.
If I get out and find some, I'll be sure to let you
know where they are in my reports!!
Critter, AKA Chris Wright and I went bream fishing
today. I know, it's winter and bream aren't supposed to bite much in the winter time.
Well, we blew that theory out of the water today!!!!
Let me tell you what happened today. We were fishing
and other fishermen were in the same area as we were and it looked like everyone was having the same slow luck as we were
having.
We were fishing along and and getting the few
and far apart bites just like everyone else when Critter picked up one of my lure boxes and opened it up, and there it
was!!!!
I promptly told Critter the story how some 20 years
ago when I used to bream fish a lot, that I had an idea on a bream lure. I proceeded to tell him how I built my mold and made
the lures.
I put the lures in my box and this is where they have
been, untouched for 20 years...... until today!!!!!
I had honestly forgotten about them. We tied one on
our line, I used Black and Critter used a brown version. I can honestly say that I have never caught bream like we did today,
and it's winter time and the water is cold this time of year!!
Critter looked at me at one time and said, "Can you
believe this, we are catching big bream on every cast"... No, I couldn't believe it, but we were, and the other boats were
still catching a bream one here and one there on occasion.
I am going back again soon and see if it happens
again, if it does, then I just might be convinced that I have had a "sleeper" lure in my box for 20 years that I probably
should have marketed. But, at this point in my life I will just make them for me and my friends and enjoy them knowing that
it is something that I developed, and let my son decide if he wants to do anything with it...
You should have been there, we were double heading
fish on just about every cast. It didn't take long at all until we had our limit and were headed home.
No, it wasn't ocean fishing, but I love all kinds of
fishing. Life is too short to get stuck on one thing or get into a rut. It doesn't have to be big to be fun to catch and when
you are fishing with good friends, it doesn't matter if you catch anything or not, but I'll admit that catching is more fun
than just fishing!!!
Also, I want to Thank all of those that come to our
website now. Our latest analytics report shows we are now in the USA, Mexico, Canada, and 55 foreign countries. Thanks again
for all of you making us who and what we are!!!
We will never forget that if not for you all, there
would not be a need for what we do!!! We are who we are because of all of you!!
Till next time, God Bless You All!!!!!
Fish On!!!!

The local rumor is not true. I am not dead and
I am still here!!! To those that wish it were true, Sorry!!
We just finished the Raleigh show last week and between
my winter job, all the shows, schools, seminars, and getting the Yeah Right II in 1st class shape for the new season
doesn't leave me much time right now.
The fish are biting when you can get out. If you have
time to go fishing now, give it a try, you just might like the results!!
We have more new sponsors for this year
and I will have a full description of their products and services on the "Sponsor page" real soon!!
Mark your calender for the last Saturday in August
in 2012. Once again I have been asked to join the festivities at Bass Pro Shop in Charlotte,NC for the Fall Saltwater Fishing
Expo. And yes, George Poveromo will be there again this year as well!!
Just wanted to check in and if you haven't booked
your fishing trip for 2012 yet give us a call, we are booking almost daily now!!
Hope I see you on the water soon!!! Till next time,
God Bless You All and Thanks for your continued support!!!

After all the warm weather we have been having
this winter, this mornings temps in the 20's made for a cold ride on the fly bridge on the Yeah Right II. But, Pastor
Doug Sherwood, his daughter Stephanie Sherwood from Southport,NC and Doug's brother Steve Sherwood from Rochester,MN were
cozy in the warm cabin as we made our 1st trip offshore bottom fishing for 2012.
I knew that Grouper, Black Bass , and vermillion
Snapper season was closed so I went to an area that I have found that doesn't hold many of these species.
And again, we were rewarded with fast action all day
as the guys and gals steadily aquired sore arms from all the fish they were cranking off the bottom, and 98% were able to
go in the fish box. Not bad for all the closures we have right now.
You just have to change with the conditions and fish
smarter these dfays!! Stephanie was hoping to catch a shark. To say she got her hopes answered is an understatement.
The sharks moved in on us at one spot and we finally
had to just leave to get away from them, but we didn't leave until everyone had caught all they wanted to catch. Fortunately,
that was the only time this happened today and we were able to limit on the bottom species.
I'll try to remember all the types of fish we caught
today. King Mackerel, False Albacore, Triggerfish, Grey Snappers, Calico Bass, Squirrell fish, Ringtails, Sharks, Joltheads,
Almaco Jacks, Silver Snappers, and a few throw backs like Black Bass & Vermillion Snappers.
Steve said he wanted to catch a fish that could "whip
his butt" if you see Steve, ask him if he has ever hooked a fish that has "whipped his butt" and see what he says!!
The 1st offshore trip for 2012 is now in the
books and I think it was a great success. How could it not be, great people on board the Yeah Right II and all the fish we
could want.
Looks like we are off to another good start of another
year, lets just hope the winds are a little more foregiving this year and we don't have to cancel over 1/2 our offshore trips again due
to rough seas.
It will be what it will be and we will continue
not to go if it's not going to be fun. Its supposed to be a fishing trip and not an endurance test, and fishing
trips are supposed to be fun, endurance tests aren't much fun!!
I am headed to Raliegh,NC today to get ready for this
weekends BASS & SALTWATER EXPO. at the State Fairgrounds. Hope to see you there and if you have time I'd enjoy having
you come to one of our seminars.
If you do make the trip, drive safe and God Bless
You All!!!!
Fish On!!!

Martin
Shaw, his son Mark, and Carol Setzco from Greenville,NC went bottom fishing with us today. It took all year dodging winds
and rough seas, but, we finally got it done today!!!
We didn't do nothing fancy, we just went out and caught
bottom fish until everyone's arms were sore.
The lite line only got bit a few times today, and
every time the fish managed to pull the hooks before we could see what it was.
Reports from the Black Jack was of a good Wahoo and
Blackfin Tuna bite today and the King Mackerel fishermen were reporting more False Albacore than Kings.
But the bottom fish are bitin' and we went to
110+ feet of water and it was the magic number today that kept us from having to release Black Bass all day.
Some huge Triggerfish were caught today along
with big Grey Snappers, Almaco Jacks, Rudder fish, Sharks, and Silver Snappers.
We caught a full boat limit of fish and headed
to South Harbour Marina and have already got next years trip in the planning stages!!
As always, it was a great trip with some great friends
that we have made through the venue of Yeah Right Charters!!
Hope to see ya' at the Saltwater shows this year.

I need to go fishing!!! But, unfortunately I have
procrastenated to the point that I have got to get ready for the many up coming shows and seminars I have on my calender.
I can tell you what others have been doing lately.
The stream continues to produce some fine Wahoo catches with this un seasonably warm and calm weather we are having right
now.
A Yellowfin Tuna was caught by the OIFC crew a couple
days ago along with Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna, and they also boated a Swordfish that night.
Several other wahoo catches have been reported
and one was a real nice one at 100+ pounds.
The report on the King Mackerel that was offshore
last week has them relocated to areas not yet known. But, rest assured, they will be found again soon.
There are plenty of False Albacore for your catching
enjoyment still around the Tower area. And as always, the bottom fish are hungry out there.
The inside bite with the Speckled Trout and Red Drum
is still doing very well.
Watch the weather and get a calm day and go
get 'em while they are still bitin'!!!
The shows are rapidly approaching, here's the dates
I have.....
Bass & Saltwater Fishing Expo, Raleigh State Fairgrounds
January 6th,7th,& 8th,2012
Bass & Saltwater Fishing Expo, Meadow Event Park-Farm
Bureau Center, Doswell,VA., January 20th, 21st, & 22nd, 2012

James Midgett from Winnabow fished with us this year
on a bottom/grouper trip and just about broke the record on Red Grouper with a nice 30+ pounder. I will cover in my seminars
this year how to better your chances to find big grouper like this!!
Till next time, God Bless!!!

Got this email from
Chad letting me know how the fishing is right now out of Charleston. Looks good to me!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this with us and God Bless!!!
I check your reports often to see what's happening. I fished
the last two weekends out of CHS. Fishing was fantastic. Kings are thick down there in the area called the Garden in about
90' of water. I would compare it to the same action as the tower area this time of year. As well as plenty of "extict"
sea bass. We caught a lot of nice AJ's, almacos, 2 cobia (one was 44lbs), and 3 Red Snapper. We fished from 70' to 170'.
The snapper came from the deep water while grouper fishing. Too bad that season is closed. I still haven't figured out
the grouper here as they seem much harder to catch than in NC.
   11-26-11
I have to keep looking at
the calender to actually believe it's November. The weather, winds, and seas have been as beautiful as you could possibly
ask for.
The fishing, well, it's almost un-believeable!!!
While Joe Seegers on the "Hooked Up" was catching
Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna in the Gulfstream, the commercial guys were catching King Mackerel all around the Frying Pan Tower
area, I was off to the South West with Rick Earnhardt from Oak Island,NC., Bo Earnhardt from Raleigh,NC., Jeff Earnhardt from
Trinity,NC., and Jeff and Crystal Causey from Trinity,NC.
What we were after was Bottom Fish and just like
the rest of the fishing has been more catching lately, so was the bottom bite!!
We caught some of the biggest Triggerfish I have seen
in many years. Some, if not most of the Grey Snappers were the biggest I've seen all year. Several nice Rudder Fish,
Fat Joltheads, Big Silver Snappers. Several very nice Strawberry Groupers. Tons of huge Black Bass and big Vermillion
Snappers,(which we had to release for now), Calico Bass by the dozens, some Ringtails, King Mackerel on the lite line,
did I mention sharks? At least three 130 to 150 lb. Lemon Sharks that were released after a photo shoot. And a few hook up's
that the guys just couldn't do anything with but have the 100 lb. test line broke like sewing thread!! Even at that,
we still brought nearly 400 pounds of fish to the dock. As I said, the catching has turned fantastic for right now!!
Rick, Bo, and Jeff will each be receiving a very nice
"Release Certificate" to put on the wall for the big sharks they caught and released. Just another way we say Thank You for
fishing with us here at "Yeah Right Charters"!!
The fishing and weather lately have been nothing short of
great!!! Don't miss out on these opportunties we are having right now. These don't come our way very often!!
Thanks to all that continue to support us and a very special Thank You
for all the Favors that the Lord continues to bless us with here in our family and business, just ask, he will do the same
for you as well!!! Till next time, God Bless You All!!!
Fish On!!!!

Myself along with 1st mate Gary
Sanders left South Harbour marina at 5AM headed to the Steeples with Eric, Bill, Matt, & Grant Shisler from Columbus,
OH.
After arriving at the Steeples I was suprised to not
find any bait or activity, it looked dead!! Not to be discouraged, I kept a positive attitude and started my search.
It wasn't too long until my positive attitude told
me to get out of there so I picked up the pace and headed towards the Black Jack.
Here I found some bait and it wasn't long until the
planer rod went off and the bright orange YO-ZURI Bonito lure was hooked up with a good solid 30+ pound Bull Mahi.
He fought hard and just out of gaff range he made
a final charge and this was the one that turned the odds in his favor as this hard charge pulled the hooks. So, he's still
out there waiting for the next bait to come along!!!
Not long after this, the same planer rod tripped and
we were hooked fast into a very nice Wahoo. Try as he might, this time the hooks held tight and we were able to get this one
into the box.
We had a spell where things slowed, but, once again,
the same planer rod went off and we were again hooked into another nice Wahoo. The scenerio above was just a replay, and soon
we had another nice Wahoo in the box.
The radio talk in the Tower area and to the east was
that the King Mackerel were biting pretty good. I do believe that the sea was as calm today as I had seen it all year. It
was an awesome day with beautiful weather, calm seas, Wahoo's & Mahi and Great Folks on the Yeah Right II.
It's hard to believe we have weather like this here
at the end of November, but, I'll take it anytime we can get it!!!
BTW/ All our fish came off the orange and black YO-ZURI
pulled on a #8 planer. We never got the first bite on a Ballyhoo!!
Till next time, Have a Great and Blessed Thanksgiving, and
God Bless Everyone!!
Fish On!!!!

After a long week of putting a new 70 four stroke
and refitting everything on the Carolina Skiff, I just decided to call Chris Wright, AKA, "Critter" and head to the creeks
and do some simple fishing for some Speckled Trout.
We started off right away with me hooking and losing
a nice Trout. Then shortly after that I hooked another nice fish, fought it for 30 seconds or so and it too came unhooked.
I guess that was all it took for Critter to say I
am tired of waiting for you to catch a fish. He pitched his bait out and was working it back to the boat when it was literally
attacked by a big Speck. At first we thought it might be a Red Drum, turned out to be a big Trout instead.
After this "Critter" continued showing me how to catch
a Trout. Even though they were short of the 14 inch limit, still he was catching fish and I was consistantly missing and looseing
everything I had bite.
We ended the day with three nice Trout, a Flounder
that was short, a lot of bites and lost and missed at least a dozen more fish.
It was a very relaxing and enjoyable day of fishing
with a good friend today, can't wait until we can do it again!!
Hope everyone had a good day in the Gulf Stream today
and I hope the king Mackerel bite was hot for the commercial sector.
If you'd like to send me an email on how you did today,
I would appreciate it. Either way, I hope God Bless You All and Keeps Everyone Safe on The Water!!
Fish on!!!

Saturday will have to go down in the record
book as being one of the most beautiful days I have ever seen on the ocean. The winds were calm, the seas were flat as a parking
lot, perfect temperatures, very low humidity, and the fish were biting!!!
I was fishing Saturday with Gary Sanders from Hope
Mills,NC and Chris Wright from Wilmington,NC. We pulled Drone Spoons for some King Mackerel and caught a few, the bite was
best today on cigar minnows and other baits, but we got what we wanted and then went to the bottom structures.
The bottom bite was awesome. I don't think I have
ever seen so many BIG Black Bass caught as we caught. I bet we released 300 + Bass in the 3 to 5 pound range. Ditto on
the Vermillion Snappers as well. Season's are closed, got to let 'em go!!
Didn't matter though, we still got Grey Snappers,
Silver Snappers, Joltheads, Calico Bass, King Mackerel, Triggerfish, and even a few sharks. We had plenty of fish and are
going to have a fish fry very soon!!
Oh yeah, The Gulfstream bite was very good this weekend
with Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Sailfish and the Wahoo and Tuna bite should continue to get better!!
I will be doing some inside fishing the rest of this
year. When the winter winds finally set in I will put the Yeah Right II into a major refit this winter. She
will be getting all new pumps, hoses, belts, valve adjustments, new high pressure fuel injection pumps and injectors, fuel
tanks, full cleaning of the engine blocks and water cooling jackets, New bottom paint, and have propellers balanced and cleaned.
Since we are already booking strong for next year's
season, we want to be sure everything is in top notch shape and ready to roll when the spring fishing season takes off!!
We are putting together a new boat that we will be
announcing soon. It will have it's own separate page here on the website, so stay tuned as we continue to try and make us
your one stop shop for fishing!!!
We are gearing up now for the up coming shows. I will
have them listed very soon on the "SHOWS,SEMINARS,SPECIAL EVENTS" page here on the site.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and gets the
chance to go fishing and take a kid with you!!!
Till next time, God Bless Everyone!!!

It was cold this morning but it wasn't long until the cold was forgotten when the fish
started biting!!
We were on a 1/2 day trip this morning with Conner and Anjie Erbson from Sterling, IL., and
her mom and dad, Pat and Walter Conner from Salisbury,NC., was along to watch their grandson as he was kept busy catching
fish after fish.
The action at times was fast enough that Conner couldn't hardly find time to sit down and
take a break. It wasn't long until Conner was doing it all from cranking the planers up then hand lining the fish over the
transom of the "Yeah Right II".
Conner proved to be a very accomplished fisherman. He would even help his grandpaw land his
fish also!!
Conner also kept count of the fish the guys caught and we limited out on the Blue fish and
to our suprise we even caught several Spanish Mackerel.
Conner is pictured with his 1st Spanish Mackerel ever and I am honored that he got it on the
"Yeah Right II"
The crew is pictured with just a very few of the four limits of fish they got this morning.
It was a great and fun day for us all and by mid morning the cold of the morning was long forgotten and the cooler was full
of fish.
How could it get any better?
Have several trips next week offshore and inside, all depending on the winds and weather. If
we get to go, check it out right here!!
Till next time, God Bless Everyone and Lord, Please keep Capt Chris and Ashley safe and
watch over them.

Today we went fishing with J.Murphy Gregg III,
his wife Kimberly and their son Jay and Daughter Harris from Winston Salem, NC.
If the names sound familiar, it might be because they
own and operate the "DIAMOND BACK GRILL" @ 751 Avalon Road right there in Winston Salem,NC. Stop by and check them out
and tell the guys Capt Butch sent ya'!
OK, the plan was to catch some Blue Fish for bait and
anchor up on the reef and see if there just might happen to be a King Mackerel still in the area.
Well, the Blue's were biting so good and everyone
was having so much fun catching these that we just made the morning catching Blues.
It was another great day of fishing/catching with some
mighty fine folks near my old stomping grounds.
Kimberly said she would send me the picture of them
holding some of the mornings catch. I'll post it when she sends it to me.
I don't have a picture, just like anything else, my
camera finally wore out. But, before I got to the house today, I went by the camera store and I do have a brand spanking new
one that not only gives the month, day, and year, it can also give the time the pic was taken plus do video and wide angle
shots.
Not only that, it can do a lot more things, but, only
if I can figure out how to get it to do them!!!
Technology is amazing and also kinda scarey when I'm
in control of it!!
Anyhow, I apologise for not having a picture. I should
have already had a new camera. The fact that I had to drop the old camera on the floor, on purpose, to get it to work
most of the time was a clue that something was going bad inside.
Maybe I just needed to have thrown it down harder.
Naa, it was time for a new one!!!
The mission today was to just catch some fish, any
fish, and we accomplished our mission with no trouble at all!!!
Will be back out again in the morning and it might
be blues again or maybe Kings, or maybe Trout, or maybe Drum, or maybe all the above and more.
Check back and I'll let you know what we decide to do and
if we catch fish, I'll have pictures with our new camera, If I am smart enough to make it work right!!
Talked to Capt Chris a little bit ago. If you didn't
know he has moved to Arden, NC just outside of Asheville,NC. I hope he likes it up there, it's the 29th of October and
he said it snowed about 6 hours up there today. No Thank You, he will learn that with age comes wisdom and sometimes that
wisdom has to be learned the hard way!!
Till next time God Bless Everyone, and Lord keep Chris safe
up there in the Mountains!!

The winds were blowing too much offshore today to make the trip fun so we didn't go.
I thought about going inside, but, It was blowing hard enough that I decided to not even give
that a go. It would have been tough fishing in all this wind.
You know, I have said in the past about October being a great month to head to the Gulf Stream,
well, Joe Seegars, Capt. of the "Hooked Up" went towards the Steeples on Wednesday when we had the window of calm winds and
seas.
Joe is an excellent fisherman and one of the finest persons I have ever known. If anyone
knows how to fish in the stream, it has to be Joe.
And to prove what I say, check out the haul of 4 Wahoo, 9 Blackfin Tuna's, 2 Mahi Mahi,
and even a real nice Sail Fish Release.
John told me it was one of the biggest sailfish they had ever seen. Pretty work guys, hopefully
I can get back out there one more time before the shows and seminar trail starts.
Thinking about doing something tomorrow, if I get it done, I'll let you know how it turns out right
here tomorrow night!!
Till next time, God Bless Averyone!!!!

Got a couple offshore trips this Friday and Saturday, but the weather reports are saying they aren't going to happen with
strong winds in the forecast.
So, we decided to take a Trout and Drum trip this
morning before the blow and rain gets here.
It wasn't a blow out trip, but with the fish reluctant
to bite and all the boats we saw that didn't get a bite, Gary and I were happy with the way our day ended around 1PM.
First stop, right out of the gate, a nice Speckled
Trout inhaled my Mirro Lure only to make a hard charge on top and throw the hooks.
Fished on some more with little happening. I made
the decision to go back where we got the1st bite and anchor up and work the area real good.
Wasn't too long until I hooked a small Speckled trout.
Gary found himself hooked up with what fought like a nice flounder only to have it come unbuttoned half way to the boat.
Shortly after that, I hooked up with a Speckled Trout
smaller than the other one and then Gary replied with a Blue fish.
We made a short run to another spot that is usually
good, but today there wasn't any takers.
Talked to Capt wally at the dock, he said he thought
the bite was off due to the SW wind. I like my excuse better, It's the full moon.
Yeah I know, the moon's not full here, but it's full
somewhere, so that has to be it!!! I also look at it like this, every day they don't bite means you are one day closer to
the day they are going to bite. Tomorrow might be the day!!!
Hey!! They bit better today than they did on Tuesday!
That's why it's called fishin' and not catchin'...
Good enough trip for us, we caught some fish, We got
away from the office, house, and charter boat for a few hours and was able to spend it with a very close and dear friend.
Fish biting or not, it don't get any better than that.
Till next time, God Bless Everyone!!

Left South Harbour Marina
this morning with Clay McClellan from Midland,NC and Daniel and Adam McClellan from Stanfield,NC.
Wasn't sure how the fishing would be after the week
long blow we have had, but as usual, it very seldom bothers the fish offshore in the deeper water, and today was no different.
The Grey Snappers, plenty of trigger fish, and Grouper
were wanting to be invited to dinner today, and they got the invitation.
The guys are pictured below with some of todays catch.
The limits were filled with no problem today and we didn't even need any Black Bass to do it with. The rest of todays
catch are in another cooler.
Reports were the King Mackerel fishing in the Tower
area was good today as well.
As the weather gets cooler, the offshore bottom
fishing will just get better. It's time to fill your freezor for the winter!!!
Till next time, Blessings To All!!!

We had an offshore trip booked for today, but,
sometimes someone will just decide that they don't want to go after they have made a reservation and tie up a date for several weeks
and won't give the courtesy of at least a phone call.
This is what happened this morning. I had the "Yeah
Right II" warmed up and waiting for todays group, but by 8AM they hadn't shown up so I knew what was happening.
I called the number that they gave me to call and
after the tale I got from the person on the phone I knew it wasn't even worth worrying about.
So, I made a few calls and we put together an inside
trip today fishing for Speckled Trout. I love these trips 'cause I get to fish as well. Good thing today 'cause I caught all
the fish!!!
I will keep the party anonomous to protect their pride
since I put such a whippin' on them today.
We had fun today and we always pick at each other
like this. Had the role been reversed, you can bet the report I would have had to put on this evening would have been dictated
to me, word for word but today as my day and the nice Flounder was just icing on the cake!!
Got another offshore trip tomorrow. If we make this
one, I'll let you know what we do right here. Everyone be safe on the water and if you ever need any assistance while out
there be sure to call me on VHF 06, and I will do what I can to help you out!!!

Today was another one of those days that keeps me
in the charter business. We were fishing a 1/2 day trip close to the beach this morning with Sean Prevette from Statesville,NC.,
Mark Taylor from Statesville,NC., and Scott Taylor from High Point,NC.
I had to decide this morning as what to do to
get some fish in the boat. We have had a steady blow now for several days, the water is dirty for the time of year,
and the bite has been slower than normal.
Bait was hard to find this morning and was reported
to be at Lockwood Folly and even if you got bait, the King Mackerel bite was slow.
There was a few Kings biting, but with a King Mackerel
Tournament going on and most radio talk reporting a King Mackerel here and there just wasn't good enough for me.
So, I gathered my thoughts and decided that since this
would be the last time to be able to keep Black Bass until June 1st. why not give it a final whirl and put out a bait or two
for a King Mackerel.
Just as I figured, the King Mackerel reels never lit
up, but the Bass rods surely did!!!
They say Black Bass are over fished and under populated,
what I would like to know is who is the "THEY" making these statements and just where and how "THEY" are getting their
information and who "THEY" are getting it from.
We never got out of sight of land and had NO PROBLEM
AT ALL limiting out on some very respectable Black Bass. It's only October and nice Black Bass in sight of land, "over fished"
give me a break!!!
Any way, we caught probably 300+ 11 and 11 1/2
inch Bass and kept 3 full limits of pretty bass well over 12 inches long and had some sharks for added bonuses.
I'll quit complaining, it's a sorry way to end
such a great day we had on the water fishing, or should I say catching, Sean, Mark, and Scott are pictured below
holding just a few of todays catch of what I consider the best tasting fish in the sea!!
So, we will just do what we have to do, enjoy what
we have, Fish a little smarter and Thank God every day for his Favor's and Blessings he bestowes on us every day, and continue
enjoying the great outdoors he has made for us all.
And I will continue to count my Blessings as God continues
to keep sending me the best fishing partners in the whole universe to fish with us here at "Yeah Right Charters"!!
All you guys and gals are the best, God Bless You All!!!!
Till next time, Blessings to all!!!

The winds have been blowing strong lately, but
today we were able to pick up some guys from Bald Head Island and head out to catch a few fish.
With us today was T Richard Morris from Matthews,NC.,
Lee Weaver from Waxhaw,NC., Will Krauss from Matthews,NC., and Charlie Daul from Matthews,NC.
We were faced with a full moon current today which
makes things a little tougher than normal but you'd never have known it with these guys.
Our first stop in the 250's was Game On. Almost immediately
we had a King Mackerel on one rod and a 40+ pound Cobia on another.
The action was non-stop nearly all day!!! We caught
bunches of King Mackerel, Grey Snappers, Silver Snappers, Vermillion Snappers, Sharks, Black Bass, Calico Bass, and the Cobia.
The guys are pictured with just a few of the
fish we had today. They were big enough they had trouble getting them out of the cooler for a picture, but you get the idea!!
Got another offshore trip in the morning but I don't
think the weather is going to let this one happen. Right now it's saying 20 to 25 knot winds from the SW. That's not good!!!
But, if we do anything at all, I'll have the
results right here ASAP!!! Thanks for stopping by and reading our reports, hope to see you on the water real soon!!

We had a trip for offshore today
with Jamie, Crystal and Colton Funderburk from Rockwell,NC., Phillip Klutte from Kernersville,NC., and Junior Hatley from
Gold Hill,NC, but the 20 to 30 knot NE winds put that trip on the back burner.
I called to cancel the trip but the guys wanted to
go on the beach to try and catch something. I advised them of the slow bite we have had on the beach lately and the bite that
we had on Wednesday wasn't possible because it was too rough that far out. They still wanted to give it a try!!
When we got to the rip the birds were working hard
but I went on out down the beach a little way to see if I could find some pogys.
We didn't see any so knowing that Blues make great
bait for king Mackerel I promptly headed back to the rip where it didn't take Colton long to catch all we needed for bait.
We took our bait and went to Yaupon reef where we
anchored up with quite a few other boats and put out our King Rods and went to the bottom hoping for some big Red Drum and
Grey trout since it's that time of year.
We were close to a King Mackerel, Scott on the
boat beside us caught one that looked to be in the teen's and we did loose 2 baits to what we would have to figure was King
Mackerel.
The radio was silent all morning, that's usally a
sign that nothing's biting!!!
Jamie also caught a nice Grey Trout and other than
a few Toad Fish and a couple of pin fish, that was all the fish I saw caught Friday from my position on the water.
But all was not lost though, A good friend of
mine, Ron, went fishing in the creeks inside and he let me know that he had a banner day on the Red Drum with most being over
the slot and a few under.
He did keep one in the slot for dinner and that
was all he kept. He even put back the nice trout he caught. A very encouraging report!!!!
Got a couple Gulfstream trips next week and the rest
are offshore bottom trips. Will depend on the weather and winds as to whether we get to go. If we do, I'll have the results
here for you to see how we do. And it'll be the truth, good catching or not good catching!!
Thanks to all that visit our website and we will always
remember that without each and everyone of you, there would not be a "Yeah Right Charters"!!!

We went back to the 300's today with Tom McNamara
from Leland,NC., James Anderson from Windsor Mill, MD., Joseph Cornish from Baltimore,MD., David Crawford from Boiling Spring
Lakes,NC., and Howard Mullenax from Liberty,NC.
It was another successful day for the crew aboard
the "Yeah Right II". What radio talk we could hear from where we were at was reporting no bites to sharks.
Guess many years experience on the seas does have
some advantages because we were catching bunches of Black Bass, Grey Snappers, Vermillion Snappers, Silver Snappers,
Grouper, Calico Bass, Atlantic Sharpnoses, King Mackerel, and Joltheads.
This was a "make up" trip that I put together for
those that don't have a crew of friends that like to fish. It was a great trip enjoyed by all and I plan on doing some more
in the future.
It's like one of the crew members said, "you know the
captain is doing something right when a "make up" trip gets fishermen to come all the way from Maryland to fish
with him."
Thanks for the kind comment and I hope you guys aren't
too sore from catching all those fish!!
Looks like we are in for a blow the next few
days and into the weekend. All my trips are for offshore, if the fishermen don't want to fish near shore, then I will have
another report as soon as the winds and seas calm back down.
Till next time, God Bless Everyone!!!

This morning we headed to the 300's with Denny
& DeWayne Outen from Waxhaw,NC., Gerry Pion from Albemarle,NC., Michael Marshall from Albemarle,NC., and Ryan Goins from
Waxhaw,NC.
The near shore fishing on the 1/2 day trips can be
so unpredictable, but, offshore, there are fish out there that will bite somewhere and our track record over the years is
the reason we can and do guarantee fish on our 10 hour trips.
Today was no different, when we reached our first
stop it was baits in the water which resulted in fish in the boat.
It was pretty much "cut and dry" drop to the bottom
and crank up the fish, you gotta' love it.
We finished up our trip just off the Frying
Pan Tower and then headed to South Harbour Marina with a fish box full of limits containing Grey Snappers, Joltheads,
Grouper, Vermillion Snappers, Silver snappers, Triggerfish, Black Bass, sharks, Amberjacks, and Calico Bass.
Another great day of fishing and catching with more
great people on board the "Yeah Right II"!!!!!!

This morning we did a 1/2 day trip with Doug &
Dillon May from Cary,NC., Mike & Josh Clute from Cary,NC., and Tom & Josh Carpenter from Apex,NC.
The bite was slow this morning mainly due to the cold
front that passed the night before bringing strong NE winds and cold temperatures.
It was a shock to all God's creatures this morning.
But, the guys still managed some fish. The big catch today was the big Ray that was caught, we just knew it was a big drum
when it was hooked up, but it still put up a tremendous fight and made a pile of generic scallops.
There were some Grey trout caught as well, this lets
you know they are showing up on the near shore reefs as the water starts to cool down.
Yeah, a slow day of catching, but another Great day
of fishing with some great folks that understand that a great fishing trip
isn't always about how much you catch!!
And as always, we don't hide from the slow
and report just the good. At "Yeah Right Charters" we tell it straight up, that way you'll know the truth about how the bite
is going here out of Southport.NC

This morning Donna Marze, Dylan Sigmon, Jeff Sigmon,
and Beth Marze all from Rockwell,NC. and I and Mate Aimee was faced with some strong SW winds and fairly dirty water to try
and catch some fish in.
But we were persistant and were after Spanish Mackerel.
Not the best water conditions for Spanish Mackerel, but, we never gave up and it paid off for us.
There were some king Mackerel being caught in the
U S Open and some Blue Fish were being caught as well.
All in all for the winds, conditions, and clarity
of the water, the bite actually suprised me that it was as good as it was.
The high light of my day was when Dylan came up on
the Fly Bridge and helped me pilot the boat for a while. He was a good Captain!!!
Pictured below is Dylan and Beth with just a couple
of several fish we caught this morning.
It was a little cold this morning, but the fish bit
just fast enough to keep everyone warm though.
Got a 3/4 day tomorrow. If the winds blow tomorrow
likethey did today, that ain't going to happen. We'll just have to see how the plans come together in the morning!!

I got just a little behind on the reports. With the

Anyway, we hit the water Friday morning with Chris
Phillips from Davidson,NC., Mike Fox from Caswell Beach,NC., Matt Barjes fromLexington,SC., Zach Fox from Harrisburg,NC.,
Jeff Fox from Charlotte,NC., and Matt Fox from Charlotte,NC.
We had a 3/4 day so I ran to the area where Iusually
do my 3/3 day trips at. But, arriveing, for some unknown reason, the fish wern't there.
I made a few moves to find nothing. So, in our tradation
of wanting to get you fish if at all possible, I threw the manual out the window and off we went.
I think the picture says the rest of the story. We
came back to South Harbour Marina with a box full of fish and a lot of smiles on everyone's face.
This is what it's all about anyway. It's not just
the money. It's the feeling of a job well done and the fact that you made some people happy today by being able to take
them safely out to sea and get them some fish for the dinner table.
To that I can say....... Mission Accomplished!!!!

It's been a tough week full of weather conditions not favorable to fishing. But today was beautiful with light winds and very
calm seas and most boats made it back out.
But we didn't because today's charter called
yesterday evening late and before giving me time to check the updated forecast decided it was going to be a bad day today
so they cancelled their trip.
Well, they cancelled out on one of the prettiest days
we have had all year. 1 foot seas ever 10 seconds at the Tower today. My bath tub gets rougher than that.
If you don't know what you're looking at it's
impossible to make the right call. It's hard enough to make the right call when you do know what you're looking at.
But the 5 PM update told me that they had blown this
trip out of the water and was going to miss a beautiful day offshore.
Even the 9 PM Tower Bouy report is at Wind Wave Height
1.3 @ 4.0 sec. with a SSE Swell, it's still flat as a basket ball court out there!!!
Since they cancelled the trip like that and the weather
was nice, we could charge for the trip per our
"Deposit Policy" , but, I won't, they just didn't know
any better!!
Come on guys, if you book a trip, let your captain
make the call, this is not your captains first rodeo, and nearly all will charge you for doing this!!
Best up-date I have right now for the US OPEN is that
there is plenty of bait up and down the beach.
The Mullet have been here a few weeks now, some Spanish
Mackerel are still here and there are some Blue fish in the areas along with some spots.
The bait is here to draw and hold the fish and with
the front passing and giving the North winds in its wake it looks like it's shaping up to be a classic near shore River Channel,
Reef bite close to the beach situation.
If so, this will put the top fish in reach of
every body. Just be the one to drop your bait at the right spot at the right time and have everything go right and Monday
morning your bank account will need side boards to hold all the money.
Not counting the prestige of being the winner of the
U S OPEN KING MACKEREL TOURNAMENT.
Hope this little bit of info helps. If I get more,
I'll Post it here for you. Good luck everyone and catch a biggun'!!!

Well, we ventured off the beach this morning mainly
just to see how close the forecast was. It wasn't close, it was right on!!!!
So, with the clouds building offshore we
turned around about 5 miles out and headed back to Yaupon Reef to do some Spanish Mackerel trolling.
There were some schools of Spanish Mackerel breaking
the surface and some were pretty big, but the guys just wern't into this, they wanted Grouper and Bottomfish.
I have been doing this long enough I could tell their
heart wasn't into this, so, I headed the "Yeah Right II" towards South Harbour Marina and since they re-booked another trip in
October because we couldn't go today........
I returned the favor and told them that the mornings
venture was at no charge and I Thanked them for understanding that it was too rough offshore and that the Thunder Storms made
it too risky today to go fishing and I also Thanked them for their continued support.
This is the way we have always done business.... The safe and
ethical way!!!!
For you King Mackerel fishermen, there has been
four Kings caught off OCP in the last five days. Looks like they might actually show up this fall in time for the U.S. OPEN,
I hope so....
Just got off the phone with Oak Island Pier and they
reported a 25 pound King Mackerel caught along with some Spanish Mackerel. The Trout bite has been happening in the
mornings and the best bite and most steady bite has been the Flounder!!
I have also heard of some spots being caught
from time to time on the "spot grounds" in the river!!!
Capt Kevin was fishing this morning on the "King and
I" just off Yaupon Reef and the last time I talked to him before I went in he had two hard runs that pulled the hooks. Sounds
like King Mackerel too me!!!!
Tomorrows trip offshore doesn't look too good at this
time. Yeah, winds and seas look OK, but, Thunder Storms on the open seas are no joking matter.
If things change and a trip developes I'll let you
know what happens right here. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read our reports. We couldn't do it without all
of you!!!

The winds have been blowing from the NNE lately making
the offshore fishing to rough to try, but, the near shore Spanish Mackerel bite is still doing fairly well.
Just ask Bill and Terry Christiansen from Greensboro,NC
and Brian, Melissa, and Jacob Christiansen from Charlotte,NC.
I picked these guys up at Bald Head Island this
morning and we went out on a calm beach in cool temperatures and low humidity. I have waited all summer for this time of year.
And yes, the fish were biting. One Spanish Mackerel
was so big I made sure the top dorsal was two toned. Thought it was a King Mackerel when Brian brought it to the boat. Wouldn't
have mattered, it was legal either way!!!!!
Jacob caught his first fish ever on the "Yeah Right
II" it was a Blue Fish.
But then Jacob caught his first ever Spanish
Mackerel on the "Yeah Right II" and that fish got him an "official Yeah Right T Shirt" to go along with it!!!
If you get the chance to go out on the beach
after some Spanish Mackerel, go..... They are biting pretty good.
You may have to work a little harder than normal,
but just put your key elements into play, and go catch some fish.
Pictured below are the guys with just a few
of the many fish they caught on this beautiful morning in mid September. It don't get any better than this, period!!!!
Tomorrows 1/2 day trip has been cancelled due
to unexpected circumstances. That has worked out good for me 'cause I am due a 200 hour service and I can go ahead and get
this done and out of the way before I have to attend to some more serious matters on Thursday!!!!
Weather/winds calm down we will be back offshore
Friday and Saturday.
Then starting next week, there will be plenty more
fishing reports coming (weather permitting) as we are just about booked solid at this time for October, one of the best months
there is for fishing here on the coast of South East NC!!!
If you want to fish with us in October call
soon, only have 5 days left open for the month. If you ever wanted to go to the Gulfstream, this is one of the best months
of the year.
And as far as bottomfishing goes, it don't get
no better than October!!! The King Mackerel fishing is supposed to be good in October as well. But, with the year we
have had so far with the King Mackerel, we will have to wait and see how this goes!!!
OK, September's almost gone. Make plans now
to go fishin' in October or you'll miss it again this year. And if you're so busy that you can't go fishin' then you're just
too busy!!!!!

Couldn't run our offshore trip today due to
stout NE winds blowing the offshore water to a froth. The good news is though with our South facing beach, a North wind means
the beach will be calm.
So we went out on a flat calm beach this morning with
Tracey Patterson, Taylor Brinkley, and Bronson Briles from Mooresville,NC in search of Spanish Mackerel. We found a lot
of fish and we had to share them with the most dolphins I have seen at one time this year.
Spanish Mackerel were jumping and trying to stay ahead
of the feeding porpoise, little did they realize they were no match for these graceful and beautiful mammals when they are
hungry.
We seen some fish, we lost some fish, and we caught
some fish, but we had a great morning of fishing and fellowship, and there isn't any better way to spend a Saturday
morning than fishing with friends!!!!
A little something you might think as humourous as
I did, but, some may not!!
Those of you that follow us know that we have a new
dog on the boat. Yes, Admiral Bodie is still with us, he's just retired now from fishing.
Well, as I have tole several lately that our new fishing
dog, Bo Bo, has a lot of character and is rather mischevious. I didn't really know just how much until today!!
I was doing some things around the boat and had not
noticed that Bo Bo had wandered off. Well, about that time the the phone rang and I was notified that I needed to go get Bo
Bo, he just got thrown out of the Dead End Saloon's Bar.
Fortunately, he wasn't drunk, I guess his character
isin't appreciated in a bar as much as it is on a fishing boat.
Unfortunately, for Bo Bo this will mean that he will
have to remain in confinement from now on at the end of his leash while at the dock, but he won't mind that. But he will probably
miss his new buddies he made at the bar today.
I'm sorry, but I thought this was funny. How many
do you know that has a dog that has been thrown out of a bar!!!!!!!
Gulfstream is blown out for tomorrow. Will be back
on the beach again early Monday morning. Will let you know what we do, check back Monday Night!!!

Finally
got off the crutches from my fall last week and with the inflatable boot, (technology is amazing these days) I have
been released by my Dr. to go back to work.
So with me being able to walk again, we hit the beach
this morning with a group of retired Police Officers in the search for Spanish Mackerel.
There were plenty of Spanish Mackerel, Blue Fish, and
bait in the area and we caught quite a few of both before we called it a day.
Fishing with us today was Larry Blank, Robert Kass,
Art Ethridge, Richie Kamel, John Dowd and Pete Markland from Leland,NC.
The guys are pictured below with just a sampling of
what we had in the cooler this morning. After looking closer, I think they purposfully picked out the smallest fish in the
box.
That doesn't make any sense to you I know, but trust
me, had you been with us this morning, it would have!! These guys were a blast!!!
I got close to the beach at one point and got the
same results as we got back at South Harbour Marina. Everyone just stopped and watched waiting for a fight to break out among
them.
Remember, they are all retired Police Officers, and
they were just having a good time spending the day together. Like I said, I can't explain it, you just had to be there to
understand.
We all had a great time today and my ribs are
sore tonight from all the laughing I did today. It was a blast from the past!!!!
Tomorrows offshore trip has been cancelled due to
30 knot NE winds and Small Craft Advisories posted. A small craft is considered a vessel 60 feet and under!!
Saturday's offshore trip is in the works right now
to be spent on the beach Spanish Mackerel fishing. The NE winds will be blocked by our South facing beach, so the beach should
be calm.
Sunday's Gulfstream trip does not look like it's
going to happen either with 25 knot winds in the forecast.
Monday and Tuesday's trips are both 1/2
day on the beach, Monday's out of Bald Head Island, and Tuesday's out of St. James.
The winds are forecast to still be from the NE, these
two trips shoud be OK.
Got several more offshore trips before the end
of September, which is less than two weeks away, but the season we are in now is like the spring, the winds are starting to
be more an issue as we get closer to the cooler month.
But, when you can go in the fall and winter, there
is some great fishing waiting for you out there. I actually think fall and winter is the best fishing of the year!!
I only have 5 more days open in October and these
are during the week. All weekends are booked and I only have two weekends still open in November.
Time is running out for this season, call soon if
you want some fresh fish to eat this winter.
After November, I will be getting ready for all the
Saltwater shows and have a nearly full slate of seminars already lined up for the winter.
As I get the schedule for the seminars, I will
post them here and on the "Upcoming Events" page.
I promise, I don't have a lot more to write,
so I'll be done soon!!! But, I am thinking about a little something I can do to Thank You all for being so loyal and
supporting us over the years.
Here's what I have got in mind right now. Send
me an email and let me know if you would be interested in this. If no one wants to do it, then why do it, know what I mean.
I am thinking about reserving a Saturday in October
next year, a prime month for the Gulfstream.
You fish with us next year and your name will
be written down in a book beside a corresponding number. All the numbers will be placed in a drawing and 6 numbers
will be drawn out for a trip to the Gulfstream.
This trip will be paid for by Your's truly
and Yeah Right Charters. I will even cover the expense for the mate that day, plus, I will give each one of you $50.00
to go on your fuel for the trip down.
And on top of that, If you want you fish professionally
cleaned that evening, I will pay for that as well!!!
All you have to do is show up, bring your drinks and
food and have a big cooler in your vehicle for the fish at the end of the day.
We continue to try to make "Yeah Right Charters"
the only place you need to go for your fishing on the Southeast Coast.
And hopefully this will become a reality and will
be one way I can show you all that we really do appreciate you and your support, and prove to you we don't just say we are
different, but actually try to be a little better than we have to be!!!
I am thinking of a similar deal on a Grouper/Bottom
fishing trip for all that attend my seminars during the winter shows. Let me know if you like that idea as well!!
All you guys and Gals have been super fishing with and
supporting "Yeah Right Charters" over the years. It's time that I start showing my Thanks and gratitude some by supporting
you guys some now as well!!!
Like I said, it's just a thought right now, send me
an email, enough interest in either one or even both trips and I will get the "ball on the court" as they say and see
if we can score a goal!!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sorry
I went so long, but I am wanting to start implementing some changes to the way we do business some and make "Yeah Right Charters"
the best it can be for everyone!!!
Till next time, Thanks again and God Bless You All!!!
Fish On!!!!
