Our weather is finally beautiful and it's a perfect time to get out Fishing. Yesterday's trip produced some nice yellow tuna, some blackfin, tuna, and some mahi.

Here are a few pics from last couple of trips. Redfish bite is heating up. Seeing quite a few lower slot fish inshore and expect the upper slots to start moving in from the beach anytime. Sea mullet aka whiting bite is also really good. Seeing 75-100 plus fish most...

Sea mullet aka whiting bite is also really good. Seeing 75-100 plus fish most trips. Probably the best tasting fish inshore in my opinion.

We are catching black drum on cut shrimp. The redfish are coming on topwater plugs, soft plastics and gold spoons. The big 10# plus bluefish have shown up in the Neuse estuary are we are targeting them with topwater plugs, 1 1/8 ounce weedless spoons and 8" swimbaits

The blacks drum bite remains solid at the jetty's and the ocean is coming to life with bluefish. Atlantic bonito and Spanish mackerel are going to be right behind the blues, with some already showing up on our nearshore reefs.

    John did a great job. Circumstances lead to me being the only one to go out on the trip. He adjusted and got me on the fish. Caught multiple tuna ( on my bucket list). Caught multiple mahi (also on my list). Caught a bull that was bigger than I ever expected.

    What an awesome 1/2 day trip we had with Mike. It was my husband, me, and our 17-year-old son (who has high-functioning autism). Mike was awesome and explained everything very well. He kept taking us to different places until we landed some fish. It was an awesome experience.

    Trip: Hatteras Inshore / Narshore Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Carson was a great guide with plentiful of knowledge of the lake Tillery. He informed me about fish behavior and how it impacts the probability to be able to be successful. It was my first experience with the live scan and I love it. With live scan you can see the behavior of fish and how they travel through the waterway, increasing your chances of landing one. Would highly recommend Carson for your fishing trips not only for the boat and equipment but his knowledge and experience.
