You're killing me we wont be down...
I will have to say i dont really have the words to describe what happened yesterday. It was one of the best days of my life other then marring my wife Kimber Leigh Sneed. Despite the bad weather conditions and having one of our team members that opted not to make it to Ocracoke to fish the King Fish Cup Championship we called in Jody Gay of Bluewater Candy Tackle Company witch is also one of our top venders at #riggedandreadyfishingcenter. It was a last minute call on Saturday evening and Jody was just leaving his Grandson baseball game. He didn't hesitate to run home and pack his bags. He arrived around 11pm that night and we were up and ready to load the boat by 3:30am. Fishing conditions were extremly tough thru the day with a North East Wind blowing 15 to 20 with gusts over 25 knots. Our first fish of the morning weighed in at 33lbs and we landed 2 more smaller ones thru the day. Around 2pm most all of our bait was looking beat up and terrible except the huge mullets we had in the back live wells. Jody grabbed the monster bait out of the net with both hands and proceeded to put the hooks in her. We all looked at each other and said if that bait gets hit its going to be a full grown one. Last ditch effort to catch a fish. Around 2:30p.m. something horrible happened to that mullet. Lol. The reel started screaming and hit another gear as the fish headed offshore. It was game on from there. Jody faught the fish and I headed the boat offshore in the direction the fish was running. My wife and Jimmy Stubbs cleared lines. Thankfully my wife thought to capture it all on video. It was an epic battle and after only 8 minutes i sunk the gaff into what would be the biggest fish in the tournament weighing in at 48.40lbs. Winning Team Rigged and Ready the Highest pay out in King Mackerel History with a grand total of $127,755. A special thanks to: #accurate #hookerstixxxcustomrods #bluewatercandylures #31competition #yamaha #momoidiamond #afw #spro #vmc

Good times today aboard Rigged and Readys #31competition. Took a long time customer/friend King Mackerel fishing today and Steve Krawczyk landed several fish in the 20 to 30lb class.
Capt. Jacob Blake put on a show today aboard Rigged and Readys #34venture. When preperation meets opportunity you capitalize on it. This crew was on cloud 9 and all smiles today.
Nice catch! Can’t wait to get back down there!
Them are some big kings I'm ready to go back lol
Nice kings there
Paul Nelson from Catawba, Nc reports that the big Bull Drum are feeding on finger mullets in the surf at Holden Beach. Paul is an avid surf fisherman with 40 plus years of fishing under his belt. Mean while back in Charlotte his two sons Matt and Jeremy Nelson are both extremely jealous due to the fact they both cant be here cause they have to go to work in the morning 😂
Nice catch
🤦🏻♂️

Jacob and I both found a few King Mackerel today. Things are starting to get really good. Nice cool temps had the fish on the move and feeding this morning. Looking forward to the next few weeks. @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Enjoyed a great day on the ocean with some really good friends / customers. Caught a few fish trolling then hit the bottom and caught grouper, jacks and king mackerel. November and December offers some of the best Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna fishing. Lets go get it. 910-448-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
A great customer of ours, Ritch McManus, sported Rigged & Ready recently while fishing in Costa Rico. Great catch Ritch!!!

Feels good to be back running trips after Hurricane Florence. Took some of my best clients #wahoo fishing today aboard Rigged and Ready's #31competition. We went 4 for 7 on the hoos, landed 3 #mahi, 2 #kingmackerel and a few other fish trolling the break in 145ft water. We have open dates next tuesday and Wednesday and the weather looks perfect. Call to find out details. #riggedandreadycharters 910-448-3474 #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-448-0210 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Ran an overnight commercial trip with @tylerblake10 and @fin_fisher_charter_services and we crushed the fish. They were chewing on about every stop. We caught Big beeliners and trigger fish for 15 hrs straight, took a power nap and came back in to unload fish.
Certainly left an impact on us!
Y'all did wayyyy better than us haha.. Still had a fun trip. We all had big boy hook ups that were break offs. Sharks or big rays. Note.. Coffee colored water is a bad sign in the ocean. Lol
I would love to go on a commercial over night trip. Fish all night, catch amazing fish, and the stories. Bet fishing deep water at night is fun
The surf fishing is hot right now. Great customers sent me these picks of their catches this evening. @hr18181818 said he lost count with well over 20 fish in just a few hours. The store will open at 7am tomorrow morning. #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-448-0210 or 910-842-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center

Enjoyed a beautiful morning on the ocean with Tim and Phylis from Wadesboro, NC. The fishing was great and hangin out with this crew was even better. The Spanish Mackerel are thick outside Lockwood inlet and so are the Hamerhead Sharks. Open dates next week. 910-448-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Pretty lil lady angler, Sophia was eager to get bait and hit the surf this morning!
Landon and his dad came in for Big Nics Spanish Candy.

We didn't get our pic posted! 😭 Great seeing you Kim, sorry Keven and I missed Kevin! Y'all are great peeps! Great place for all your fishing needs! Best charters in the area! Go see them!
- Really something . > Deserves further comment but that is going to have to be put on hold until another day at which point I can write more expansively _
Fresh Fiddler Crabs just came in this morning! Come and get em!
How long will they stay alive in that container
Sheep head time!
Are they good bait for surf fishing?
Grouper bite was ok today. We did land 5 but had to work for it. Caught plenty of snappers, bass, triggers etc. Its only going to get better as fall approaches with the cooler weather and water temps.
Look what this young angler caught on the surf yesterday! So glad he came in and shared his excitement😃 Kids & Fishing go hand in hand!

I enjoyed talking to EJ & his little brother Adam and their dad about their fishing plans this weekend. Gonna miss all these great kids after this last blast of the summer!!
Today was one of those days when you have the coolest clients/friends on the boat and everything goes perfect. Fished in the deep water and caught some monsters. Bunch of full grown Amberjacks but we did manage to find some grouper along with several snappers. #riggedandreadycharters
#riggedandreadybaitandtackle @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Enjoyed a great day on the ocean with some great repeat clients. Landed some monsters today out of the deep including 2 really respectable #hognosesnapper, 4 nice #scamps and a mix bag of other great eating bottom fish. Open dates next week. #riggedandreadycharters 910-448-0210 #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-842-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
I hear them calling my name..lol..be there oct 5th
Gotta share that...what a beautiful fish!!
What a day we had offshore yesterday. Fished on a buddy of mine's 31 Capehorn (Wright Way) captained by the famous Rick Croson of Living Waters Guide Service out of Wrightsville Beach. Trolling bite was slow. We did hook a nice White Marlin and the hook pulled but just watching him jump out of the water was pretty awesome. The grouper bite was good. We caught them jigging in 300 to 400 ft of water along with some Amber jacks well over 80lbs.
New Baits!!!! We now have Live Fiddler Crabs (40 to 50 per container) and vacuumed sealed Menhaden! Nice and cool outside this morning and the fish are jumping.....let’s go fishing.....
Sheepshead, black drum, redfish, pompano and much more!
Steve Brown

You show grandpa the right way to catch fish
I love to see the younger generation get interested in fishing. 🙂

He's been waiting to see his picture posted.haha Thank you
I LOVE that smile!!
He looks so excited!!
Capt. Jacob Blake, soon to be Capt. Tyler Blake and I have put in some time this week trying to figure out these fish. We have been blessed the past couple days with winds less then 15mph. The fishing has not been on fire by no means but we have been able to put some smiles on our customers face and scrap out a decent trip. Today we were able to keep busy catching 3 to 6lb #spanishmackerel and #kingmackerel on light tackle. #riggedandreadycharters 910-448-3474 #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-842-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Now in Kid’s Xtratuf boots, sizes Y1 -Y7. The new Navy Shrimp Boots and The Xtratuf XT Legacy Neoprene insulated Boots......plus all other stock styles have been replenished! Come check them out!!😃
Best boots ever made
Love them
Mitch Norwood time for new boots.
Chasydi said oo. Yeah
Extremely tough fishing yesterday. Capt. Jacob and myself ran trips all day. We left before the sun came up and watched the sun go down. We both managed to find a few fish each trip. Good luck to all the boats fishing the S.H.A.R.E. #kingmackerel tournament this morning. Team Rigged and Ready will be sitting this one out unfortunately. @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
You’ve been asking for them......so we now have them in stock 😃
Do these work? I bought a bag once & didn’t have any luck how do you rig them/fish them?
Have to get some when I get down
They’re the best
It was good to be back in action today on the #31competition. She has been resting the last couple weeks due to the weather and some much needed attention by @anglers_marine_nc. Surprisingly the #kingmackerel acted like they wanted to bite but it never really got going good. I've also been testing the new @accuratefishing Valient bvl 600's over the last couple months and I'm very impressed. We have a few in stock now at #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-842-3473 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Fresh Bait in today! Cigar Minnows, Baitmaster Ballyhoo, Master Chum, California Squid ,and NOW IN, RIBBON FISH. This should handle your offshore bait needs! Also in, shrimp, squid packs, bloodworms, night crawlers, finger mullet, mullet fillets, sand fleas and chicken necks! Plenary of mud Minnows for the backwaters and hopefully the Native Salt Clams will be here tomorrow 😃 It’s gonna be a great fishing weekend!!!
Capt. Jacob Blake and Tyler Blake reports that the fishing wasnt so hot today. The action was slow but they managed to still catch a few #kingmackerel on both trips. With the S.H.A R.E. King Mackerel tournament coming up this weekend it will be interesting to see the results.
thanks Rigged and Ready, had a good time fishing. Robert Marvel Shaun Miller
That guy on the right in the green hat looks like my grandson😜😜😛😛😜
Capt. Jacob Blake and soon to be Capt. Tyler Blake were at again this morning putting their clients on King Mackerel aboard the Rigged and Ready's #34venture. The 1/2 day offshore trips seem to be producing the best action unless you want a 3/4 day or Full Day. Give us a call to get in on the excitement. #riggedandreadycharters 910-448-3474 #riggedandreadybaitandtackle 910-842-3474 @ Rigged & Ready Fishing Center
Amazingly after 2 weeks of rain and wind the fish are still chewing. Capt. Jacob put his clients on a nice mess of King Mackerel and released a few to live another day. We have a couple spots left this week. Let's go fishing. #riggedandreadycharters 910-448-3474
