They also had some Blackfin Tuna. Bite Me and Hatteras Fever released Blue Marlins and Calypso released a White Marlin. Inshore boats had their share of pretty Speckled Trout, also some big Red Drum with some keepers and some Spanish Mackerel.

It was a windy and overcast morning but ended up being less windy and very rainy. All of the boats stayed tied up today except for Black Pearl who had a good morning with Red Drum. If it's windy the Drum like to bite. The inshore boats like windy days. The offshore boats, not so much.

Tomorrow is the start of the Big Rock Tournament so good luck and tight lines to all who are fishing in it.

All of the big boats stayed tied to the dock today with the exception of Release who fished in the Big Rock Lady Anglers Tournament. The inshore boats had a good day with Red Drum both keepers and citations. They also had some pretty Speckled Trout and a few Bluefish.

Today was a sunny but breezy day, especially offshore. Hatteras Fever II ventured out this morning and came back with a bounty of Dolphin, both gaffers and bailers. The inshore and nearshore boats had good catches of Speckled Trout, Red Drum and good Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Tomorrow looks like a wait-and-see situation for the big boats.

A fairly decent morning turned into a breezy afternoon, but I think the Dolphin like to bite in a little choppy water because to boats returned with some pretty good catches. There were also some Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna boated. Bite Me released a White Marlin and Sailfish

The big boats headed out under partly cloudy skies and a slight breeze but tied up to the dock with a good SSW wind. They had real good Dolphin fishing along with some Blackfin Tuna along with a few bottom fish. Inshore boats had good catches of Speckled Trout and Spanish Mackerel and the ever-popular Red Drum. 

If you're on the island and want to come and check out the fish as they hit the dock, head on down to the marina between 4-5 in the afternoon. See what the boats bring in then you can come into the store and check out what we have. Father's Day is right around the corner.

Today was a beautiful beach day and also a good day to fill the freezer or get a citation. Big boats had a good day with bailer Dolphin and some gaffers, some Blackfin Tuna, Snowy Grouper and various other bottom fish. Hatteras Fever II released a Blue Marlin. Inshore boats have had a good day with some seriously good eating Speckled Trout and some just as serious Spanish Mackerel and not to be forgotten, Red Drum.

If you are going to be on the island and want to go fishing, make sure you book early and don't wait until you get here. The availability of charters is going fast and everyone is booking up.
