Sat Puppy Drum and Speckled trout

It was a beautiful day on the water Saturday morning. I had a half a morning inshore trip so we set out looking for a school of Reds with the high tide. Well it did not take long before we found a school milling around in a nice calm bay. After a couple of drum we filled the livewell with some live mullets, spots and whatever else the Calusa would wrap up and we set out to an area where we usually catch a few Speckled trout this time of year. Well they were there along with the puppy drum. The inshore fishing has been great with all the bait here now and water temps soaring.

Friday 13th Red Drum!!!

I picked up Jackson and Morris up a Caspers early Friday morning. Morris let me know right off the bat the he had never caught a Red Drum before. So we slid off in search for some Reds. Well things started off a little slow but things picked up as we got into the end of the falling these little guys were wearing them out. One of the best days on the water in a while. If you would like to book your charter while you are in the Swansboro, Emerald Isle, or Atlantic Beach area give me a call (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com.

Team Hall'em In Charters-6th Place finish in IFA Surf City Redfish Event

Me and my cousin David Towler figured we would try our hands at fishing with the Pros Saturday at the IFA Redfish event in Surf City. They had a pretty good event with over 50 boats in the field. Well after prefishing every day the week of the tourney I felt pretty good about our chances. So we blasted off towards Swansboro around 5:30 am and arrived at our first spot around 6:10 only to find the tide was so low and fish that had been there all week had dropped out of the area. So we fished a few areas that we know fish will be on low tides with no luck. So around 10:00 am we were finally able to get into our second spot. Well the fish gods were looking down on use because we had a school of 75-100 Reds in front of us from 10:30 am - 1:30 pm. We left for Surf City to the weigh in with a couple of 26.5" and 26.75" Redfish. After it was said and done we ended up with 6th place and taking home around a $1000 dollars. It was a great event and we will definatley be fishing more IFA events. We would like to thank Quantum, Sufix, Strike King, Pathfinder boats, and Mirrolure. With out any of these guys we would not have been able to fish this event. The Reds are on fire so if you would like to get in on some of this action book your charter.

Cobia are here!!!!

I had a charter cancel today and boy did they miss out. We had a pretty impresive chum slick going all morning with Amberjacks, mackerel, and COBIA! all around us. We saw a total of 3 cobias in a couple of hours. We had a 60+ lb fish take a 15" bluefish twice only to have the hook pull both times. After a few moments of frustration this 38lb fish came around and we were able to get him to take a live spot. You got to love Pathfinder boats!!! By far the most versitle boats on the market. I can have clients catching reds in 8" of water in the morning and chumming cobias 10 miles off the beach in the afternoon.The fishing is awesome right now so book your charter. If you are in the Swansboro, Emerald Isle, or Atlantic Beach area give Capt. Robert Hall a call at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com

Swanboro/Emerald Isle Spanish

Well folks the spanish are here and are hungry. My grandmother gave me a call Sat. morning and asked if I had any fish for a fish fry. Well I couldnt let my grandma down so well worked them over pretty good. We probobly caught over 50 but only kept the 15"-18" fish. All fish were caught on Youzuri Deep divers and clarkspoons. The spanish are here so if you want to get in on some of this hot action give me a call. Capt. Robert Hall (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com

Swansboro Redfish

Well the Redfish bite has slowed down some here in the Swansboro area but is still pretty consistent. We are still landing good numbers of fish on Fishbites and Gulp baits rigged with weightless hooks. I expect the Redfish bite to pick back up when some more consistent weather patterns arrive. The flounder have started to show up in the backwaters. We have been landing the flounder on striped minnows, new Fishbites, and Gulp baits. We have also started to pick up some good numbers of Spanish just outside the inlets. Summer is here and the fishing is heating up book your charter today! Call (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com
