THE MILKIN PARTY FROM KY. AND RI. WENT WITH US ON FRIDAY, THEY HAD AN ALLDAY BUT DUE TO ROUGH WEATHER WE CUT IT TO HALFDAY. WE GOT SPANISH MACKEREL AND BLUEFISH EVEN IN THE 4 TO 5 FOOT SEAS. THE BLUEFISH WERE THE LARGEST OF THE SEASON SOME IN THE 2 PLUS POUND CLASS. THE WINDS WERE ROUGH IN THE 20 KT. RANGE AND THE WATER WAS VERY MUDDY. WE GOT THESE FISH IN 36 FOOT ABOUT 3 MILES OUT. THE POGGYS WERE IN THE SAME AREA DUE TO THE MUDDY WATER INSHORE. THEY GOT PLENTY TO COOK A COUPLE OF TIMES WHICH WAS WHAT THEY WANTED, TO HAVE A FISH FRY. VERY NICE PEOPLE AND SAID THEY WOULD BE BACK TO TRY NEXT YEAR. CAPT: BUSTER

ON SAT WE TRIED A CHARTER AFTER CANCELING ON FRIDAY BECAUSE OF HIGH WINDS. WE HAD BRAD AND FAMILY FROM WHITEVILLE. WE WERE AFTER SPANISH AND DO SOME SHARKING BEFORE COMING IN. WE WORKED HARD FROM 20 FOOT ALL THE WAY OUT TO 54 FOOT TRYING TO FIND A GOOD SCHOOL, WITH NO LUCK. WE ENDED PICKING UP ONLY 9 FISH. WE CAME IN AND DID THE SHARK DRIFTING THE LAST HOUR. WE HAD 4 RUNS AND ONLY GOT ONE BLACK TIP WHICH WAS TO SMALL TO KEEP, BUT WAS A GOOD FIGHT FOR THE 10 YEAR OLD SON WHICH LANDED IT BY HIMSELF. IT WAS AROUND 30 POUNDS, AND CAN BE SEEN IN OUR PHOTO GALLERY, TAKE A LOOK. CAPT. BUSTER
