Once again, strong winds made for very rough seas yesterday and it was still too rough to head offshore today. Maybe tomorrow?! Some went fishing nearshore for Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. Inshore charters went out for Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel, and Bluefish. Our entire fleet is booked for tomorrow - let's hope that the weather cooperates!

A strong SW wind kept all offshore charters at the dock this morning. A few boats took their parties fishing nearshore and got on a good Spanish Mackerel bite. Inshore charters braved some choppy waves to go out on the Pamlico Sound. They experienced good Bluefish catches this morning and afternoon and got on some Speckled Trout this afternoon.

Charters were finally able to get to the fishing grounds inshore, nearshore, and offshore. Anglers who fished inshore experienced a really good Speckled Trout bite. The Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel were biting today as well. Nearshore charters fished along the beach for Spanish Mackerel. Despite the wind and rain early this morning, offshore charters made a run for the Gulf Stream. Fishing was a bit scrappy however they got on scattered Dolphin, Wahoo, and King Mackerel. Bottom fish included Grouper and Tilefish. Three Sailfish were released. It was a pretty sight - seeing all the boats out again, let's hope that the fishing improves!

Offshore boats at the dock with heavy wind and some rain. Some Inshore boats had good catches of Speckled Trout and Bluefish with a few Spanish Mackerel.

The wind was too much for Offshore but a few Inshore boats headed out and had excellent catches of Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel with some Speckled Trout.

The wind did lay somewhat during the night, although there is still a strong SW influence. Our inshore fleet fished this morning and afternoon. They returned with a few Spanish Mackerel. The Bluefish were biting today, some smalls along with some nice "big ones" as well. There was a lot of Shark action again today! Several offshore boats fished the Gulf Stream and reported a good Wahoo bite, especially for July. A few Dolphin and Blackfin Tuna helped to fill the box. A couple of King Mackerel  were caught. July is passing through our hands - don't let it slip by without fishing! Give us a call at 800-676-4939 and we'll hook you up.

No offshore boats fished today due to strong SW winds. Inshore boats went out in the Pamlico Sound this morning and returned with Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and Clams. Sharks were quite active again today and they put up a good fight for the anglers. Tomorrow may very well be another blow day as the winds are not forecast to subside.

Some returned with limits of bailer Dolphin, otherwise, gaffers made a fair showing. The Wahoo bite was fair and there were some scattered Blackfin Tuna. A few King Mackerel were caught as well.

Stormy conditions early this morning kept all boats at the dock, except one who braved the wind this afternoon and fished inshore for Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish. SW winds continue to blow so tomorrow is questionable. Don't let Summer pass you by - give us a call at 800-676-4939 to book the charter of your choice.

Today provided another opportunity to get in some great fishing! Inshore anglers enjoyed catching Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and even a keeper Flounder. One boat fished near shore this morning and caught Spanish Mackerel - it was a family group and they returned to the dock quite pleased. Our offshore fleet brought in limits of Dolphin along with a scattered Wahoo bite. Bottom fish included Grouper, Tilefish, Triggerfish, and Black Sea Bass. What a smorgasbord for the grill tonight! Two Sailfish were released as well. It is supposed to blow from the SW tomorrow and we'll have to wait and see if they can get out.

The Dolphin bite was on again today with some nice quality fish being caught. They were able to get on a fair Blackfin Tuna bite for some nice variety and scattered Wahoo helped to complete the catch. Two Sailfish were released.
