Black drum, black Sea Bass, tautog and skinny water reds. That's what's up for this month.
All areas for sea bass, tautog & black drum less than 60' of water and deeper structure for black drum. Have you done shrimp and squid wing. Sea Bass on 2oz bucktails and black drum on 1/2 oz jigheads.
Redfish in the skinny, sightfishing with fly or light tackle. Tact is key.

We are still seeing an excellent speckled trout bite, but are also having some incredible black drum fishing when the wind allows us to get out to the jetties. Also catching some really nice striped bass on our speckled trout trips.

NC's world-class Cape Lookout False Albacore Season officially ended strong!
They're still out there and will be on and off throughout the winter months.
But we'll transition to sightfishing slot Redfish, backwater speckled trout, and riding the ocean for Trophy-sized Redfish.

The speckled trout bite is wide open right now. Casting suspending twitch baits such as Mirrolure 17mr's and Slicks as well as jigs tipped with a variety of soft plastic baits are producing good numbers of fish.

    Shane was my captain for a 3 hour saltwater farewell. The overall experience could not have been any better. Shane was easy to be with and very considerate. His boat was comfortable and clean. I was impressed with how important it was to Shane to learn about my family member being honored. By talking about my mom's life and the area, we were able to choose a meaningful place to release the biodegradable urn. I highly recommend Shane for a saltwater farewell and I bet he is a lot of fun to fish with!

    Inshore fishing trip with Capt Jack was top notch! Hooked up within the first 5 mins of our lines in the water. Teenage son had a blast. Usually catch and release but decided to keep our limit on the Red Drum. Capt Jack did a nice job filleting them out and sent us on our way with our fresh fish on ice and even some grilling tips which we followed the next evening. Pleasant, professional, and personable. Thanks Jack!

    Great trip with Spencer. First time for the family and the kids (15 and 12) had a great time. By the end of the trip they were setting lines and taking fish off the hooks. Spencer was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. Would definitely book again with him when we come back to the area.
