I have been on another top secret recon mission again, but I can still report about the fishing!

Things slowed down a little this week offshore, not to a dead stop, just a little less action than the week before. Don't misunderstand me, fishing was still pretty good, especially the billfishing. Friday, one boat caught a grand slam, and yesterday only one boat went out, and he caught a blue marlin and a sailfish. I will be working with the same group this week as I did last week, but the last week of September I will be fishing again. I still have one day available that week if anyone needs it. Yesterday was the Hatteras Village ''Day at the Docks'', which is an annual festival/celebration of Hatteras Island's working watermen. It's an all day affair, and is ended with a boat parade of commercial and charter boats, and a ''blessing of the fleet'', by a couple of our islands pastors. It's a great day. Simon, my son, won second place in the kid's fishing tournament, with a 4.2 ounce pinfish! He won a rod and reel. The winds are breezy out of the northeast, which has made things quite cool and comfortable. See you soon!
