They are some of the best captains on the east coast.

The Offshore Fleet untied from the docks today amid a very humid morning. The day got hotter as the sun came out from time to time. Fishing was pretty scrappy although they did catch a few Dolphin and several billfish were released. A Salt Weapon and Sundown each released a Sailfish. Predator released 2 Sailfish. Hattteras Fever released a Blue Marlin. The Inshore boats had pretty scrappy fishing too. They were able to fill coolers with Clams and did some shelling. We do have Inshore trips that will take you clamming or shelling if you're not looking to go fishing or if the fish aren't biting.
Congratulations to all the boats that fishing in the Alice Kelly Memorial Ladies Billfish Tournament. A Big Congratulations to Top Junior Angler Miss Ella Rains fishing on Sundown for releasing a Sailfish.

Debby really had the ocean messed up for a few days. Thankfully we had no problems with her aside from some flooding in the northern villages on the island. It looks like the Offshore Fleet are going to give it a try tomorrow. A few of the Inshore boats had some fishing today. They had some luck with big Bluefish and a few Gray Trout.
Hopefully the fish will be stirred up tomorrow and ready to fight.

It was a choppy day offshore today due to temperamental Debby. The big boats did head out this morning and were able to get on the Blackfin Tuna along with a few Dolphin and Wahoo. Sea Creature released a Sailfish. The Inshore boats had good catches of Speckled and Gray Trout and a few Bluefish.
It doesn't look like the boats will be able to go tomorrow and the rest of the week looks to just get worse. We'll see you on the other side of Debby.

Another blustery day to the start of an interesting week. Of course the big boats didn't see the blue water today. Tomorrow they will try to untie from the dock. The Inshore boats had great Red Drum fishing along with a few Cobia and Bluefish. Red Drum are on the bite on windy days. They also make some tasty fish tacos or Hatteras style boiled Drum.
The weather will be a big factor this week with our eye on Debby. Hopefully, she'll decide to visit Europe after merging back into the Atlantic.
