12/8/14  Bluefin Tuna action since last Tuesday has been spotty.  There was a lot more effort by fleet from mid week through Saturday.  The BFT bite was slower than earlier in week, however there were enough bites to keep it interesting  Even with the bite a little slower the class of fish that have been taken are good size..  Several fish over the 100 inch mark last week!  The weather has got us the last two days, looks like it will break by Tuesday.  Saturday was the last the BFT fleet was out. The only bite for Bill Collector was this nice Blackfin Tuna .  The few fish caught Saturday were good ones. Capt. Brian (Goombay) boated a nice 110 inch fish early.  Our dock partner, Sensation, made the day offshore and reported several December Mahi, a nice Wahoo and a Sail. There is also  good King fishing happening this month.  Bill Collector is available for BFT, Offshore or King charters through December. We are taking reservations for our 2015 season!  A fishing trip make s a great Christmas gift!  Give the gift of fish! 252-247-5617

Happy Thanksgiving!  There has not been an offshore report since our last.  None of the charter fleet has gotten out the last few days.  Bill collector crew has been catching up on some seasonal maintenance and maybe a little hunting.  Some of the boats are booked this weekend and a few private boats are planning to fish weather permitting.  Hopefully we will have something to reort after the weekend.  At this time our next day out is Dec 3rd.  Cold fronts and low pressure systems make it harder for us to get out late season, however between these fronts we will have periods of slick calm seas.  Past Decembers have provided great Wahoo and Tuna action!.. If you have a group interested in some late season action, give us a call....Bill Collector is now taking reservations for our 2015 season, rates and availability are viewable at www.billcollectorcharters.com or give us a call anytime.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

10/26/14  Bill Collector was blown out a couple of days this past week, we got back out Friday.  Fishing  was slow for the fleet, weather was better.  We scraped a few nice Wahoo, but scrappy on the bites.  Sunday we fished with our good friends, Frog and Wildman, but high winds forced us to cut the days short with one Wahoo and a few Dolphin.
