March 27- Capt Marty's World

Guys, first and foremost, I do apologize for the total lack of fishing reports and activity on this blog. I must say, when those punk ass thieves stole all my rods and reels, they really did steal my heart and soul. It has also been a very trying winter/early spring with family health issues. Big Time. Hard to see how those are going to work out but right now, I'd guess a LOT LESS FISHING this summer for Top Water Charters. Obviously, some things are more important. Just so yall know I'm okay, I am chomping at the bit to go Shad Fishing, Bonito Fishing, and Cobia Fishing.. It's coming. I will be available on a limited basis for Charter. Please call guys. We are gonna do okay on the Cobia this year! I can feel it.

Also, I know I've hit on this before but...... For some reason, I'm feeling some "Ocean Burnout". All I think about is freshwater fishing. And I ain't talking about the Mung Holes. I need to sample legendary Lakes and Rivers and I strongly desire to catch legendary Freshwater Gamefish. It's all I think about. Thinking about schools of Chopper Bluefish, or 100 lb Blacktips in skinny water, or even acres of hurling Yellowfin Tunas don't dominate my dreams anymore. After 40+ years of Ocean Piers, Docks, Jettys, and Boats..... From Cape Charles, Va to South Padre Island, Tx, I really feel like I've seen it all a thousand times.....  (Great Whites, Makos, and Killer Whales being the exception) dammit, I want to see an Arctic Grayling, a Steelhead, and a Northern Pike. When did this happen? How did this happen?


Better yet, how CAN I MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

March 24- Japanese Television

Capt Marty makes an International Splash!

Huh?  Here's how it happened! On Aug 17, 2014 I made a blog entry which showed my Pal Adriel's foot impaled by a Needlefish. Pretty gnarly stuff. Seven months later, a Japanese TV producer was doing a show on dangerous Sea Creatures and found Adriel's story on my Fishing Blog. They asked for my permission to use this story and I agreed.

So there it is..... Top Water Charters hits Japan.

The Ides of March

Julius Caesar and the Bonito are near!

Seriously the weather is improving and good fishing isn't so far away! Pretty soon I will have report for these pages. I promise.

For many reasons I have been too busy and too miserable to fish!

Hickory Shad are in the Rivers and its about to bust wide open.....
