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.

Almost all of our offshore fleet were booked today. There were some stormy conditions this morning but they soon dissipated. 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. We need 1 person for a Make up charter for tomorrow. Give us a call at 800-676-4939 or just come to the Marina to watch the catch come in!

It has been a stormy day on Hatteras Island. Inshore boats fished this morning, however, the bite was extremely slow. No one fished this afternoon because of the weather. Offshore boats went out and most returned early due to numerous lightning strikes and rain squalls. They did manage to get excellent catches of Dolphin before having to head in - not bad for about a half to a three-quarter day of fishing. One Sailfish was released. The weather is iffy for tomorrow - check back to see what transpires.
