False Albacore, and really nice bluefish in topwater plugs with a consistent King Mackerel bite. Grey Trout and whiting showing up good work Spanish Mackerel still around perhaps for the next few weeks. Backwater bite is hot as well work good numbers of shrimp around Redfish have been plentiful with more and more Speckled Trout showing up each week. Lots of good quality fishing. It's really shaping up to be a great fall bite.

Fishing has been really good out of the Morehead area. Inshore red drum have been loading up on shrimp, watching them bust working down the banks has been a lot of fun, mix in black drum and speckled trout with them. Near shore 1-3 lb bluefish, Spanish, and false albacore have been blitzing up and down the beach. Albacore aren't much table fare in my opinion but a damn good fight on light tackle! Bottom fishing is producing some spots, grey trout, hogfish, and puffers with the water temps getting cooler

Fishing has been on fire as the weather gets cooler and lighter winds come around. The shrimp are thick inshore, allowing drum and trout easy meals. Nearshore, there are acres of Spanish Mackerel, albacore, and bluefish are busting glass minnows. Dropping on deep water ledges has been providing nice flounder...

Nearshore Spanish, bluefish and kings and amberjack have been consistent.
Backwater bite has been fire! Bait all over skinny water reds blowing shrimp outta the water from slot size all the way up to Trophy size (40+") they have been steadily eating topwater and flies, popping corks have been producing well. Speckled Trout have still been crushing corks and topwater, mostly morning and evening. Good numbers of Sheepshead and black drum.

Fishing has been really good here lately with the calmer winds and cleaner water. Nearshore casting at Spanish Mackerel has been steady with a mix of albacore for a fun fighting surprise. Inshore with the right tides, you can find scattered speckled trout and solid redfish, and starting Sept 1 we can finally keep the elusive flounder. Shrimp are all over the backwaters, cast netting enough for dinner to add to the plate!

One good thing about this wind, it has heated things up! Literally and figuratively. The backwater bite has been solid! Topwater action and shallow fished weedless plastics and spoons have been producing. Loads of bait in the backbays, Trout in my immediate area are still hard to find. However the action is fire up the Neuse nearby. Topwater Trout, slot drum and a solid showing of trophy size Reds are being produced on topwater. I'll be transitioning to that area as I begin to run my Trophy Redfish charters in August
