We had severe thunderstorms roll through last night along with gusty SW winds which kept our offshore fleet from getting out today. Hopefully, it will lay tonight and they will get out to the Gulf Stream tomorrow. Inshore boats were busy catching Bluefish, Sea Mullet, and Speckled Trout. With school being closed for the Summer, we had many family groups fishing the Pamlico Sound. It's a wonderful way to spend quality time together as well as to introduce youngsters to the art of fishing! If interested - give us a call at 800-676-4939 and we'll be glad to hook you up.

Wind from the SW kept offshore boats at the dock today. Inshore anglers made it out this morning and returned with Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sea Mullet, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Gray Trout, and Bluefish. Please bear with us as we are experiencing problems with our webcam and it is currently not working. We hope to get it going soon!

Happy Flag Day! Our flag was flapping most of the day with a strong west wind. We had a lot of offshore charters on the book this morning, however, most captains did not fish due to the weather. One charter made it out and got on a decent school of Dolphin bringing back a fair catch. One Wahoo was caught. The Big Rock Tournament boats went out after two "lay days" and you can see the results on their website. Predator is on the way to Morehead with one large Yellowfin Tuna to be weighed. Check us out again tomorrow as all boats are booked. One White Marlin was released. Our inshore guys stayed busy fishing the Pamlico Sound. The catch today consisted of Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Speckled Trout. Give us a call at 800-676-4939 to book the charter of your choice.
