The Mahi bite is on with a few tuna . Thanks to Rich for 15 years of fishing on the Outrigger and to 15 more. It was non stop Mahi action on Tuesday with some yellow fin tuna mixed in. Young Jake did well with the dolphin and tuna and I know he will be back for more. We also had one 37lbs Dolphin caught by Bret. I hope I spelled your name right. Thanks again to the many years of good times. CAPT. AARON

Mahi Mahi Bite with a few Yellow fin tuna

The last couple of weeks have brought some good fishing . The tuna bite has been hit or miss but the last few days have been better for tuna. The Mahi Mahi bite is in full Swing with larger fish and we did have a good day on wahoo. Come  check us out at the fishing center or give us a call for booking info. Thanks capt. Aaron

Back in January I started work on the Outrigger. I began on the inside teak trim, striping it and refinishing it with al -brite clear gloss. The goal of this project was to get every thing ready to paint the outside for the 2012 season. It has been a lot of long days with countless hours of sanding and preping the boat for painting but finally we have finished. I used Dupont Imron 508U paint . This is the new age stuff, eco friendly, I hope it last as long as the old kind of Imron 508U. We’ll find out in a couple of years. It looks real good right now.

The spring tuna run is on with limits of tuna and some mahi and wahoo. As you know every day is different but it is pretty good for fishing right now. We had five wahoo the other day with the largest at 73 lbs , nice one.

Thank you from the Wright family see you soon

Yellow fin bite

The last two days the yellow fin tuna fishing was excellent. With limits of yellow fin at Oregon inlet and the Hatteras boats have been coming up to get in on the great action. The blue fin tunas have also been very good on the northern end. With some smaller fish in the slot limit under 73″ and still the giants from 80″ to 95″ . This makes for a great time on the water and this week looks like some nice weather with temps in high 60′s and 70′s .

Thank you Capt. Aaron

The blue fins showed up around the first of the year and it has been pretty good fishing .There have been some slow days but for the most part it has been very exciting. A few days the yellow fin have shown up. Yesturday was mainly blue fin tuna but there was a couple of yellow fin mixed in. I’m headed outof town for the next week and will be back on the 22nd . If you want to set up a trip during this time please call the fishing center @ 252-441-6301 or book on line @ the fishing center web site. Thank you Capt. Aaron Wright

The rock fish haven’t made a showing this year it’s just to warm this year. The Blue fin have come down to play ball and there tackle busters. We have had a few good days of yellow fin tuna fishing . Get ready for the spring , book your trip early. Thank you Capt. Aaron Wright

Some good fishing over the last couple of days, with yellow fin to the north and some black fin to the south. Hatterass also had some good King mackeal and Wahoo fishing over the last couple of days. Thanks Capt. Aaron Wright

The tuna have been on the move . If you can get in right spot it is great fishing. Last Saturday it took the fleet a little while to find the fish but when you get on them it has been Game On. We caught a Dozen one day and a limit then six on Sunday. So the fish are out there and It has been good when you find them but they never stay where you leave them. Thanks Capt. Aaron Wright
