Happy Independence Day! It was a busy day at the marina with charters getting on the fish. Spanish Mackerel fishing continues to be good for inshore anglers. This morning they got on some Red Drum and this afternoon some Speckled Trout. The Billfish bite was good for offshore anglers. Schools of Dolphin were found and produced a mix of gaffers and bailers. Several Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna were caught. Carolina Girl released two Blue Marlins.

A great day to be near or on the water in pursuit of happiness. Inshore and Near-Shore anglers got on a good Spanish Mackerel bite both this morning and this afternoon. They reported extremely clear water conditions and were excited to see porpoise and other wildlife. The Dolphin bite was fair to good offshore. Some Wahoo were reported as well as some Yellowfin Tuna. Bottom fish included Grouper, Golden Tilefish, and Rosefish. Give us a call at 800-676-4949 to book the charter of your choice.

Another beautiful day out on the water, inshore boats fishing along the beach had good catches of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and a Cobia was caught on Adventure. Back in the sound area anglers caught Drum and Speckled Trout. Out a little further offshore there were good catches of bottom fish, Triggerfish and Sea Bass. There were good numbers of American Red Snapper released because the season doesn't open till next week. Offshore anglers had a great day as well, they returned from the deep blue sea with good catches of Dolphin, both Blackfin and Yellowfin Tune, Wahoo and King Mackerel. Hatteras Blue and Hatteras Fever both released a Sailfish.

Lots of fishing action today! Inshore anglers were entertained with catching Ribbon Fish - check out the pictures! They got on Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, and Bluefish. The Billfish bite was on offshore with one Blue Marlin release and three Sailfish releases. Bottom fishing was good today as well. The Dolphin bite was fair to good and a few Yellowfin Tuna made it into the fish box. Come to the dock between 4 and 5 to watch the catch hit the dock. It's fun!
