Fisher Niemeier from Stafford, VA with a 13 lb. 2 oz. Tilefish

WOW, WOW, WOW! What a banner trip!

Because Sea Bass is coming to a close (December 31st), I wanted to maximize all the time my anglers can get on the water. We originally had 3 back-to-back 18 hr. trips scheduled, but only one of those could go due to weather. This trip did not dissappoint.

The Rudee Angler and Rudee Whaler set out with roughly 25 anglers each in search of Sea Bass, Blueline Tilefish, and Golden Tilefish. The boats stayed together the entire day, fishing in the same spots. FISHING WAS PHENOMENAL! Both boats had a tremendous catch of blueline tiles, with many of our customers limiting out. We had a great catch of Sea Bass as well, with many weighing over 5 lbs. To add to the coolers, some anglers caught impressive-sized Golden Tilefish, ranging from 25-45 lbs. Our biggest catch was a Golden Tilefish weighing just over 50 lbs- WOW! We came back from the trip with all anglers satisfied, and a stack of citations to turn in! Congrats to everyone who fished with us- way to end the 2011 fishing season with a bang!

We will still continue to run our 16 hour offshore trips every Saturday in January and February. Although Sea Bass will be closed, we will be targeting tilefish, grouper, and other members of the wreckfish family. Call 757-425-3400 to book your trip today!

Mr. David Burnell with some nice Sea Bass!!

Once again……….a windy weekend! So we moved the trip to Monday the 19th! Knowing we had some wind coming that afternoon we decided to get an early start. Same scenario as last week! GREAT FISHING!!

We got blown out last Saturday and Sunday, so looking at the long range forecast, Wednesday looked like our best weather window. Because of everyone’s work schedules,  We’ve never had much luck putting together trips during the week this time of the year. I had the girls in the office call everyone from the cancelled weekend before , and within a short time we had put together a trip!! Just about everyone on the trip was a “regular” knowing that this time of the year fishing offshore can be phenomenal!!!

We headed out with a little more breeze from the north then we’d like to see, hoping the wind would drop out soon. We started the day off by fishing a few wrecks for Sea Bass. After a decent catch of large Sea Bass weighing up to 6 lbs, (and the wind falling out!) we headed out deeper to find the Blueline Tiles- and find them we did!! Everyone finished filling their coolers with big tilefish, with some weighing up to 18 lbs! It was a great trip with a great group of customers!!!!

We still have some openings on our last 16 hour trip of December – the 23rd. We have also added 3 18 hour deep drop trips for the 28th, 29th, and 30th. They are selling out quickly- so book yours today!
