It's Albie season! Albies and blues with the water temps dropping. Also speckled trout have shown up, a lot of smalls but fun fishing

Inshore fishing for red drum, black drum, speckled trout, and sheepshead continues to improve. While false albacore, aka albies, are crashing bait along the beaches offering blistering runs. Fall time fishing is the best of the year. Book today.

Shallotte, North Carolina

Reported 2 weeks ago

Loads of flounder, red and black drum are on the menu. The trout bite is off and on until we get a little cooler weather. We're using fresh shrimp/mullet cut bait, VUDU SHRIMP, Egret Quiver Shads under popping corks over oyster beds and off the grass lines around points with current. Especially if there's a deep-water drop-off. If the water is murky, a little Pro-Cure goes a long ways with the scent and popping cork vibrations to help draw in the fish.

Reported 3 weeks ago

Fishing has been great over the last couple of weeks. We are still seeing some nice slot redfish in the marsh, and the full-grown ones are still inside for the spawn. On the beach, we are seeing some great action with false albacore and Spanish mackerel.

Excellent experience! Rick was very knowledgeable and personable. He was not afraid to change locations and tactics to ensure the best experience. I would definitely fish with him again.

Great time in perfect weather ! Caught a lot and learned a lot from Jason. If you have never been fishing off the coast call him. He’s patient, knowledgeable and fun to be around. If you have fished off the coast some but want to go out deep sea fishing call Jason. He’s can make that happen too. That’s who I’m going to call for my next trip.

We had the absolute best time ever. We got out there and went straight at it. Whether it was catching blues, Spanish and even sharks. It was amazing. If you’re looking to have the best experience fishing, this is your guy. We come every year here, this was our first time doing a charter. Needless to say we will be doing one with captain 🧑‍✈️ Jeff every single year from here on out.
