Fishing Reports

It was a calm and hot morning that saw some of the big boats part the water. Bailer Dolphin hit the dock along with several Wahoo. Sea Creature released a White Marlin. Inshore boats did really well filling coolers with Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish and some Red Drum, including a citation size. 

If you're planning a trip to Hatteras and want to go offshore or a half-day inshore, book your trip before you come. Availability is filling up fast and you don't want to be left at the dock wishing you were fishing.

It was another wet, scrappy day for the offshore boats today. They came back with a few Dolphin, mostly bailers and a few Wahoo. Inshore boats had better luck with Speckled Trout and a few Bluefish. This week isn't looking too special unless you like wind and rain. Friday MIGHT be the better day as far as offshore goes. The inshore boats do like wind but can do without the rain. 

Today was a blowout day for the big boats and a Red Drum day for the inshore boats. As the big boats stayed tied to the dock the inshore boats went in search of Red Drum and they found them along with a few Speckled Trout. Red Drum love to bite on windy days and our captains love to catch them. Today was an excellent Red Drum day.

The big boats left the dock this morning in a thunderstorm and by the time the fish hit the decks the sun came out. They had several catches of Dolphin with both bailers and gaffers and some catches of Wahoo and one boat caught a Yellowfin Tuna. Both Chaser and Carolina Girl released a Sailfish. Inshore boats had a specktacler day with Speckled Trout and some pretty keeper Red Drum.
