First day out after Big Rock! Still plenty of fish around. We had a great day with these dads and their sons.

Slam plus a blue marlin for us today and a slam plus 2 sails for our dock partners….excellent fishing!

Also had some dolphins to go with it!

We still have days available in July August and September. Reach out to us if you’d like to book a day!

We have got everything we know we can ready on the old girl so she can do battle this week. Good luck and safety are our thoughts for the entire fleet this week. As for our team, we are excited to have a chance to compete with such incredible marlin fisherman from across the globe. ……oh and one more thing. 👇

Today was another fantastic day on the Rican.

This is what we love! First time blue marlins today for three lady anglers

Lucky to go 4/4 on blue marlins

One of the ladies, a junior angler, absolutely did a fantastic job on the reel and in the chair.

Thanks to Salty Penny Canvas crew for coming on board today to help us test the new salon and exterior mezzanine and bridge cushions they put together for us over the winter……Top notch craftsmanship and now proven marlin magnets 😁

Great day today for the Rid-A-Pest team!

The only “Monday blues” on the boat today were the ones they caught! It was all smiles and excitement today.

4 blue marlins and 3 white marlins

And mahi for dinner.

Grateful for a special day like this. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s unreal.

We still have plenty of days in late June and July. Great time to get your staff or family out on the water!

Another good day out on the water with some awesome ladies! The weather might’ve cut our time short, but we still caught some mahi for dinner😁🐠

Today was our third day of fishing this season after a long winter in the boatyard, and we couldn’t be happier to be back out on the water! Our first two days out we caught two blue marlin and a sailfish, and today we added another two blue marlin and a sailfish in one trip. One of today’s fish even got a little sideways and left its bill in the side of the boat. We’ll be getting that fixed soon, but guess there’s a first time for everything. Heck of a couple days to start out the season! Charlie, our mate, is back to doing what he does best, taking care of the leader, manning all the equipment, and making sure all of our charters have a top-notch offshore experience. We still have days available in June and July this year, so shoot us a DM or text us at (252) 515-0883 to book your trip. 😁🎣

Thank you Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament for an incredible time at the Triple Crown Soirée! It was a night full of fun, laughs, excitement, deep conversations and at one point sombering as we all shared a tearful moment. Just like our season it was incredible and full of memories we will never forget. Thank you to the board and the directors for your efforts to make the whole thing so special for all of us…yall knocked it out of the park! We are honored to be the Inaugural Champs and are so ready to participate next year. We are blessed to do something we love and to do it with our families and so many friends each day we go in the ocean. We live in a special place and this tournament and this win continues to solidify our gratitude for being able to experience it!

2025 has been excellent for us! We took a lot of new folks fishing, caught more than our fair share of meat and billfish and did it all right here in our backyard and just up the beach in Oregon and Hatteras inlets.

Unfortunately we had a muffler crack last Friday. This allowed water to enter the rear bilge and would have been unsafe to fish if not repaired.

We hauled out yesterday at Spencer Yachts in Wanchese. We have full confidence that the craftsmen there will get our girl in tip top better than new shape this winter.

We will be back at it hopefully starting in April 2026!

Thanks to everyone for supporting us, cheering us on and coming to fish with us. We look forward to seeing everyone in the spring!

Here is a photo dump of some awesome memories from this year.
