Time for Tuna!

Early spring, some of the seasons best Tuna fishing! Nice Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna traditionally show up starting late February, March, and April. Last season saw good Tuna action in both March and April, along with jumbo-size Wahoo. Book your trip now!

  

Bill Collector is finishing up her time in the yard for seasonal maintenance. She could splash in the next couple of weeks and will be ready to go fishing! Round up a crew and fill the freezer this spring!

2019 Season

Happy New Year!

Bill Collector hauled this week to Jarrett Bay Boatworks for her annual seasonal maintenance. She will be shipshape and ready to fish by late February. 

Hurricane Florence damage repairs to the Morehead City Town Docks start this week and will be completely rebuilt for our 2019 season.

I hope the New Year finds all of you well.  I am looking forward to fishing with y'all again this season!

Early Spring Fishing

March and April will bring good Tuna action, both Yellowfin and nice Blackfin, as well as big spring Wahoo. 

Last March and April we had some of our best Tuna action and several NC Citations were written for Wahoo. It's a great time of year to fill your freezer!

Water Front Update

Pic of our charter dock before Florence.  Bill Collector, Dancin Outlaw, Carolina Princes and Due South are still the only boats on the MHC docks.  We still occupy the only  four undamaged or minimal damaged slips that were left.  Great news today!  The MHC town folks were by yesterday and reconstruction will start just after first of the year.  Our charter docks are going receive a much needed redo.  They will be all new and ready for our Spring season.


December update:  We have run our last scheduled trips on the books for 2018, however we are available any day through December.  Catch the weather right and the Tuna and Wahoo are still out there!  There have been a few Blue Fin caught this month and hopefully will continue to get better on into January.  We are available through mid January for BFT.


2019:  Bill Collector will haul for seasonal maintenance around mid January and will be back ready for action by  late February.  We are now taking reservations for our 2019 season. 


Rates and Website:  After several seasons without  a rate adjustment, we have had to raise our rates $75/day.  Due to ever increasing operational and maintenance expenses we had to make the adjustment.  Please note that our website www.billcollectorcharters.com still reflects our 2018 rates.
Our website has become dated and we are in the process of constructing a new one.  Be looking for the new look this Spring.  Our online interactive calendar is still up and running with its link from our old website.


Spring 2019: Bill Collector will start fishing by late February, 1st of March, last year we saw a good run of big Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna early Spring.  Our Yellowfin fishing last season had definitely  rebounded from some of the pervious years.  Last early Spring also saw nice NC Citation class Wahoo.  Round up a crew and give us a call.


2019 Tournament availability:  Bill Collector is available for Boys and Girls Club Billfish Classic and Pirates Cove Billfish Tournament.  These are the only two not yet booked for this season.  If interested for info on either of these events, give us a call.

11/18  Great Fall weather and fishing on the Crystal Coast!  Nine Wahoo today that weighed 391 LB.  Three in upper 30s and three NC Citations (66,52 and 46 pounds) .  Couple of Blackfin also. 
Plenty of Wahoo bites, it was one of those days we were pulling them off, but the ones we held onto were good ones.  Good water conditions offshore and the Wahoo will keep on snapping into December.  252-247-5617
