Fishing Reports

Due to current weather conditions and the furture forecast the marina will be closed Thursday, Friday and maybe Saturday depending on weather conditions.

This first day of Autumn, and a couple of the big boats snuck out to the fishing grounds this morning. Sundown made it a morning trip and took advantage of the Spanish Mackerel catching. Hatteras Blue had some Dolphin with both gaffers and bailers and they had scattered Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna. Inshore boats had some Red Drum, Bluefish and Cobia. The next few days look like we're going to have a Nor'easter but some Inshore boats may be able to get out for a couple of days.
