Emerald Isle Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Emerald Isle
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

Red Drum fishing has been great last couple weeks!!! Casting at schools of 40-50 Red drum in the skinny water!!! Trout bite has been decent with a few.

Fishing has been good when the bite turns on in Morehead city. we've been dealing with extremely high winds and dirty water, 2 straight weeks of downpours and SW winds 15-25kts have made it tough, but using cut bait under corks, on protected banks, oyster rocks, and drop offs has produced solid bites!
