As we are winding down our season the Nearshore action is ramping up! Our Spanish Mackeral are snapping and the bluefish have shown up… super fun trips and awesome eating fish! Our 4 and 6 hour trips are targeting these species and still watching for the Drum and Cobia… great for kids and a beautiful way to see the Outer Banks… We have a few spots still open the next 10 days then we change seasons… let’s go fishing!

The past week has been filled with Nearshore trips – perfect for families and kids and super fun!! The Spanish have shown up, the Drum are around, the Kings are starting to bite… even the Cobia are still making an appearance! Give us a call… we have some scattered 4 and 6 hour trips still available the next few weeks – Get in on the fun! Also – keep in mind August and September are hot months Offshore – days are disappearing quickly so get on the book if you are thinking about getting out there!
A special thank you to our adopted “Granny” and family for the pic from their annual Offshore trip earlier this summer – it proves that the love of fishing and the outdoors has no boundaries… you are an inspiration and wow are you tough!
A huge Thank You to all our anglers the last couple of weeks! Pretty work everybody!!! OFFSHORE FULL DAY trips are finding Dolphin (mahi mahi), Tiles, Sea Bass, Triggers, and more plus our Billfish are starting to show up!! Our 4 and 6 hours groups are after Drum, Mackerel, Cobia, Ribbons, Shark and even a Rattlesnake!?!? You never know! The weather has been awesome all summer until several days ago – Mother Nature kept us at the dock for a few days but she is straightening back out now and it’s time to go!!! Thanks again everybody…. always a blast to fish with all our anglers!! A few days opened up for us this coming week – give us a call and join in on all the fun!

We are rolling into July with unbelievable weather and equally fantastic fishing!! The past week has been full of dolphin and tuna plus tiles and more on our Fullday Offshore trips and Spanish and Blues with a few Cobia still mixed in for our 4 and 6 hour trips… and as always – incredible groups to spend the day with!! Our 2 big fish of the week were a 124 pound Yellowfin Tuna and a 195 pound Bigeye Tuna plus the first Wahoo of the season – Pretty work everybody! Slick calm conditions and crazy active marine life makes you catch your breath and say thank you… every day. Congratulations and thank you to all our anglers – you make what we do so special!
Beautiful Weather and awesome Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) fishing were the theme for this past week! Fishing has been phenomenal and when the weather is wonderful it’s hard to ask for anything more. Thank you so much to everybody! G… hope that arm has recovered!! Gordon – always a pleasure and KY fam – thank you for making the drive!! (you may not have fit on the plane with all that anyway!!). CW… never a dull moment and always a trip… looking forward to next time! A couple of stowaways and a sweet dockside visit rounded off the week plus a great Father’s Day back to the basics – what else would you do on your day off!?? Fish fry coming soon!! Thank you again to all our groups!!
Fishing has been amazing this week!!! Thank you so much everybody!!! We have the afternoon on Thursday (06/14) open for a quick 4 hour nearshore trip (Mackeral, Bluefish, Cobia, Drum) and Tuesday (next week – 06/19) is open for any length trip (4, 6, or FULL day) if anyone is interested – Let’s go fishing!!
It has been an incredible start to our 2018 season… the COBIA are thick, the RED DRUM are around, the dolphin (MAHI MAHI) have started to show and the TILES are hungry!! Thank you so much to all our trips this week… you guys are awesome!!! Congratulations to 7 year old B for his first (several) COBIA!!! Way to go kiddo!!! It’s time to fish!!!
The COBIA are here!! We have had an incredible week with these awesome fish!! Thank you so much to all our groups… so much fun!!
The cobia fishing has been phenomenal so far with several days catching and releasing dozens after we get our limit… we are part of the North Carolina tagging program which provides information as to what our Cobia population is doing – this gives us a great opportunity to see multiple fish up close while contributing to their continued well being. We still have a few days left open the last 2 weeks of June but they are filling fast…. Give us a call if you have any interest before these fish move north!
Fishing Season has Officially begun and the COBIA are here to kick it off right!!!
We wrapped up another phenomenal turkey season thanks to all our crew!! There is nothing quite like Spring in the woods and to be able to share all we treasure with great friends and family is beyond words…. Non-stop back porch stories, delicious meals right off the grill, fun and fellowship and simple appreciation of what mother nature offers us all every day – we can’t say Thank You enough to everyone.
On to the COBIA!! These fantastic fish are on the move and coming up the coast fast – fishing as been off the hook this week and the weather has cooperated despite the forecast (a true testament to NEVER fully believe the weather forecast on the Outer Banks…. the dart board technique is alive and well!)
Near future Dates available at this time are: May 21 and 22, 28, 31, and June 1. Some scattered dates are still open the last 2 weeks of June. Don’t miss out on this fishery… our Cobia will often move out by July so give us a call soon if you want to target these fish! In other news further off the beach – the DOLPHIN (MAHI MAHI) are showing up, the boys got into the TILEFISH already, and the TUNA are still biting! Let’s go fishing!
