A sunny spring day and our inshore boat Black Pearl ventured out after Puppy Drum. He was successful. If you're looking for something special to remember your trip, stop by our marina store and check out all of the new items we are getting in every day.

The wind blew the fog away this morning and the sun came out. Black Pearl and Tightline went fishing and both had a good day with Puppy Drum. What a difference a day makes. Businesses are opening for the season in the villages and the weather is shaping up to make a great spring and summer. We are getting new items in at our marina store every day so come on in and check us out.

A foggy morning turned into a beautiful day on the island today. Calypso went fishing this morning and had luck with Yellowfin Tuna and some Albacore Tuna and a King Mackerel. A couple of our inshore boats went but unfortunately, the fish didn't show up. Better luck in a day or two. Spring has sprung and the grass has riz, Hatteras is the best place to fish there is. Come get your spot on one of our boats before we're booked up.

Today was the prettiest day we've had in a long time. We had a couple of inshore boats head out this morning, one fished along the beach and returned with a nice catch of Ribbonfish and a few Sea Bass.  The other boat fished in the sound and caught a 26" Red Drum. Fishing is just getting started so we hope to start seeing more action.

We had one boat venture out, they returned with some Blackfin Tuna and Amberjack and released some Barracuda.
