August has almost come and gone and honestly I’m not upset to see it pass. Three days into the start of the season Lady Luck was struck by lightning. Fortunately I had made it back to the dock and my clients were safe under shelter before the storm blew up on us. She took a direct hit at the dock and most everything was fried. Thankfully no one was on the boat, but it was a heavy blow. I Thank God, my family, and awesome friends and clients to be able continue to fish through the season. We are pressing onward and I am looking forward to September. Hopefully with some cooler weather and plentiful fish.
As always thank you all and God Bless!

Our Peak Season is right around the Corner! I have a few drum dates left in both August and September. If you want to enjoy a good pull, some pretty fish, and beautiful sunsets, I’d love to have you. I also want to thank everyone who’s fished with me over the years, it’s definitely made great memories for me as well. Thanks to all and God Bless! -Capt.Jennings

we are having a fun time enjoying the sights, sounds, and of course fishing these past several weeks. We have had some quality fish and are experiencing good numbers of staging Stripers with plenty of spawning activity already. A beautiful golden eagle has made her home on the upper Roanoke and it.....
