A couple of boats headed to the gulf stream today, both gaffer and bailer size dophin were boated and only a few Wahoo. Fishing is hard work be sure to check out the picture of the guy on the dock. Bottom fishing was good for the triggers and inshore fishing was slow with some sea mullet, blow toads, spots, small speckled trout, some keeper drum and some under size drum being caught. All in all it was a beautiful and anglers had a great time.

This is the first day fishing since Hurricane Matthew. A handful of boats fished offshore today. Inshore boats are getting back to their slips and preparing to go out fishing the Pamlico Sound as soon as possible. Anglers experienced choppy seas but returned with a nice catch of Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna. A few Dolphin were caught and the Blackfin Tuna bite was scattered. One Sailfish was released and more were spotted. Thanks for all your support and prayers! Hatteras Village was hit hard by the storm, but we are working diligently to put things back together and to move on with business as usual.

We've battened down the hatches, now we just have to say our prayers and wait it out. Be safe everyone!

Boats have been fastened down or pulled out of the water due to Hurricane Matthew. There will be no fishing inshore or offshore until storm conditions have passed through our area and forecasters are perplexed as to what path Matthew will take. It is important to remember that predictions and tracks can change at any time, so make preparations now and don't be caught without proper precautions in place. Many prayers for those in Florida today and all that have been in the path along the way!

We had one boat fish inshore this morning and one young lady landed a nice keeper Red Drum. Captains and mates have been busy with preparations in anticipation of storm force winds and high waters. Hurricane Matthew is a very big storm and will have some impact on the North Carolina coast, although the current track shows it turning back out into the ocean. As with any storm, it is important to  be prepared for any changes that may occur. Many thoughts and prayers to everyone along the track of Hurricane Matthew.
