We have had lots of fun times on the Kingfisher recently. Lots of fish being caught with small hooks and little baits. We hook up with loads of different species and you never know what you might see or catch. We have recently added Grey triggerfish and Spadefish to our list.
The coolest thing last week was when a large ribbon fish grabbed a young girl's pinfish as she got it close to the boat. We did not hook it but watched and felt it bite that fish and swim off with it. We have also had some fantastic dolphin sightings. On more than one occasion, we have watched a large pod swimming with babies that stretched for several hundred yards. The weather is hot but so is the action. Come on out for a boat ride.

The Kingfisher had lots of kids on board last week and they all had a blast. We had some good dolphin sightings, learned a little about commercial crabbing, found lots of hermit crabs, saw lots of birds, and caught loads of fish.

Highlights include dolphins swimming under the boat, watching a stingray swim two inches from shore in two inches of water, and finding a Hermit crab with some cool looking purple stuff on its shell.

Coolest gross thing to happen was when I started pulling on what I thought was a piece of line coming out of the mouth of a Sea robin. I pulled on ‘the string’ and it was really an eight inch Pipefish. We cut it up and tried it for bait but had no bites.

Get in touch with me at soundsideadventures.com if you would like to make some long lasting family memories this summer.

Great Father's Day trip with my son and family. Lots of fun and we caught some nice fish.

16/06/2023

First fish of the day goes to Layla. Nice job.

14/06/2023

Cooper and Smith had a great time on the water today. The live well is always a huge hit.

08/06/2023

Anyone ever get stuck by one of these? A lot of these fish get caught on my boat. When they start hitting the deck two or three at a time, there is a lot of high stepping going on.

06/06/2023

The skiff is sporting a new outboard. I couldn't deal with the Etec any longer.

20/04/2023

We decided to give trout and drum a break and go after something else. Mission accomplished.

05/04/2023

Pretty fish. Same time, same water, same conditions, but not the same color. Pretty cool.

02/04/2023

Vicious!
These fish acted more angry than hungry today and that made for some awesome topwater hits from some very nice trout. We went out with captain Bud Bishop today and he did not disappoint. With muddy water and high winds he still put us on some large fish that gave us some explosive action. It was a blast.

I tried out some powder paint. Pretty easy to do and they came out nice.

23/03/2023

Fished the sound today with and found some nice fish. Really good bite until the wind switched and they got lockjaw.

30/01/2023

Okay and , I guess I’ll throw mine into the mix. Throwback to crazy January days releasing 40 inch plus fish and then catching another just like it. Around you there are so many Gannets diving that you wish you had worn a hardhat. Sure would like to see striper fishing like that again.

Merry Christmas everyone. I sure hope that the trout survive this cold snap. I have a few new lures to try out.

07/11/2022

The fall garden is producing nicely. I even have a tough little cherry tomato hanging in there. Time for some rockfish stir fry.

22/10/2022

We didn't get large numbers but there were some large fish.

10/10/2022

It was a pretty out there and I was able to put Gene and Carl on some nice fish today.

06/10/2022

Nice trout bite today.

03/10/2022

Gale winds two days ago, gale winds tomorrow. I found a pretty day in between. I also found what I was looking for.

19/09/2022

The first day of fall is right around the corner. As the water cools down, the fishing heats up. Looking forward to some great Sheepshead fishing for the next month or so.

During June, July, and August I mainly do family fishing trips with small children. This equates to a lot of bottom fishing for pins and piggies but we do have our fair share of exciting days. With all of the east winds that we had this summer, there was a lot of ocean water in the sound. Some toothy critters came in with it. We had a few ribbonfish encounters. This little one was struggling with a decent Bluefish but was getting the job done. As it neared the boat, a ribbonfish attacked its head. It shook it for a second, let go, and then focused its attention on the fish’s rear. It grabbed it again, there was little drag scream and the back portion was quickly severed. That Bluefish came in pretty easy after that. Very cool stuff!

I caught this the other day. No joke. Bottom rig in 24 feet of water. Cedar bush bay. Going back to try for the other one as soon as this wind lays down.

30/08/2022

Found some nice ones today.

28/08/2022

Little man was proud of his little trout.

27/08/2022

This one has me stumped. Can anyone help with an ID?

16/08/2022

Living the dream? First it took a week to diagnose and repair an electrical issue affecting my ignition system and fuel injectors. We checked the throttle, replaced the key switch, and replaced the fuel pump. Nope, it was a bunch of loose magnets on the flywheel. That was a couple thousand dollars spent and several trips cancelled. Back on the water last week. After 7 hours on the water in brutal heat, I gassed up and went to wash the boat. I was spraying salt off the axles and saw grease all over one of the wheels. I had blown a bearing! I jacked up the boat and got the rotor off. It was so hot, the jack sunk into the asphalt and I had to put a board under it. Of course the races were stuck. I finally got them off and noticed that the axle spindle had been damaged. New axle? Nope. I was referred to Terry Casper. That man saved me a lot of money, time, and bloody knuckles. He drove his truck to me, cut off the old spindle and welded on a new one. I didn't know that could be done with the boat still on the trailer. Back in business. Amazing. Thanks Terry.

Rom is very happy with his rare, elusive, mysterious, NC flounder.

14/06/2022

Brian and Alec wanted to go Sheepshead fishing. They caught 17 keepers once we found them. Pretty strong tidal flow today so finding the eddy was crucial for holding bottom.

11/06/2022

This young man understood the slow retrieve and was catching nice trout on his own. No corks for him. A pleasure to watch.
