One boat snuck out of the inlet this morning. The going was rough but the fishing was good. They made a half day of it and had a good catch of Dolphin and Wahoo. The Inshore boats had an excellent morning of Speckled Trout fishing. The afternoon brought more Speckled Trout and also some Bluefish. 

The wind forecast is encouraging. It may slacken by tomorrow morning. We'll see then.

The SW wind started up yesterday evening and continued through to today. So, the Offshore fleet remained in port. The Inshore boats are able to fish on a fairly windy day. That's when the Red Drum likes to bite and bite they did. The Bluefish, Sheepshead and Speckled Trout got in on the action too.

This morning started out with quite a light show. Heavy thunderstorms kept most of the boats tied up until they passed. Once out to the deep they scrapped out a day of fishing. They slung a few Wahoo on deck along with some Blackfin Tuna, good catches of bailer-size Dolphin, and a variety of bottom fish. The Inshore fleet had good catches of Bluefish, Speckled Trout and some Spanish Mackerel.

The weather is calling for more SW wind for most of the week. It will be a wait-and-see scenario.

The morning started out pretty and a couple of big boats headed out to the fishing grounds. By the time they returned to the dock, it was under rainy skies rumbling with thunder and occasional lightning. They did manage to scrap out a day of bailer Dolphin and Wahoo. Our Inshore boat had a good day in the Pamlico with slot-size Red Drum, Bluefish and Speckled Trout.

It looks like more boats will venture out tomorrow as the weather may be calmer. We will see what the sun brings.

The sun rose over the fishing grounds this morning and the Offshore boats were there to see it. Thankfully the wind laid down long enough for them to get out. It was still rough going. They didn't waste any time getting on the fish. They had Wahoo and bailer-size Dolphin along with a few Blackfin Tuna. Inshore boats had their limits of Speckled Trout and Bluefish.

Tomorrow will be another wait and see what the sun brings morning.

It looks like a few more boats will try to make the trek out tomorrow. Hopefully, the wind will lay long enough to make a day of it.

This morning had a little too much wind and thunderstorms for the big boats to make it out, so they stayed tied to the dock. The Inshore boats had a good day on the Sound. They had slot-size Red Drum, Bluefish and some pretty Speckled Trout. All three are very good eating fish.

The next few days don't look very fishable for the Offshore fleet. We will have to keep checking the weather and see what happens.
