Summer weather and the fish are biting. The big boats were there to catch them. They had limits of both bailer and gaffer Dolphin along with some Wahoo and a Barracuda. Carolina Girl released a Sailfish and Hatteras Fever II released 2 Blue Marlin and 1 White Marlin. The Inshore boats did their share to make happy anglers catch their dinner. They had slot-size Red Drum, Bluefish and some pretty Spanish Mackerel. All are very good fish to eat. Red Drum makes for yummy fish tacos.

If you're on the island and you'd like to spend a day or half-day on the water give us a call. The weather has been beautiful and the fishing has been good. We have charters that will take you fishing, clamming or shelling. You can even fish along the beach on one of our Nearshore boats. A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

The big boats parted the water at first light this morning. They slung both gaffer and bailer size Dolphin onto the decks along with some scattered Wahoo and a few Blackfin Tuna. Predator released a Sailfish. The Inshore boats were on to the Red Drum and Speckled Trout in the morning. In the afternoon they had Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish.

There were several billfish released.  Inshore boats had Bluefish, Red Drum and filled coolers with Clams.

It was a breezy day today so the big boats stayed tied up. Inshore boats took advantage of the wind and went after the Red Drum. They tend to be active on breezy days. The Drum showed up and so did the Speckled Trout along with a few Bluefish.
