Spring
In the Spring, large schools of wahoo and yellowfin
tuna begin their journey's north lingering off our coast through the
summer.
Summer
May through early July, Charleston is known for it
large concentrations of adult Mahi-Mahi (dolphin fish). The
arrival of Mahi invite our largest and most prestigious gamefish, blue
marlin. Blue marlin are the most prestigious gamefish that swim
the Atlantic. Over the past years we has released blue marlin of
weights in excess of 600 lbs. We strongly encourage the release
of fish that are not going to be consumed and mandate the release of
all billfish.
As the season progresses into July the Billfish bite in
Charleston becomes world class. Multiple  opportunity each day
at blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish has put Charleston in the
world spotlight over the last three years. Our best trip of 2006
we hooked 5 blue marlin over 200 lbs and 2 sailfish. Our billfish
catch rate per trip for 2006 had a 90% success rate on full day trips.
Fall
September is our peak month for king mackerel
and sailfish. October and  November
often provide shots at 3-10 sailfish per day. Usually allowing
the release of 3-5 sailfish. The boat to release the most
in 2006 was the Major Motion with 22 sailfish releases in a
day.
Winter
During December and January we operate out of Morehead, NC targeting
giant bluefin tuna. The tuna school within site of land and
provide the highest  success rate in the
Atlantic. The average tuna is 250-550lbs. This is a battle
of will between angler and the strongest fish that swims. Not for
the faint of heart, ultra heavy tackle and battles often lasting
hours.
