Spring temps have fish moving in from offshore. Inshore jigging can produce grey trout, bluefish, puffers, and sheepshead. Inshore red drum are schooled up in the marshes, casting artificials has been the most effective method

Weather has been pretty good for the most part, super clear water, really fun to sight fish, chasing reds in shallows, and bottom fishing jetty's for black drum and sheepshead. March should be great!

Nearshore bite for fall has been off to a solid start.
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

    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.

    I’m an experienced fisherman who wanted to become better at targeting red drum and trout. Joe not only put me in fish, but taught me things about fishing that area that will help me catch fish on my own for years to come. Highly recommend!

    Trip: NC Classic Inshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had the best morning with Justin! He was friendly, engaging, and provided a lot of education on the area, the water, the fish, and fishing. We got to explore many different parts of the river to ensure we had ample opportunities to catch both speckled trout and red drum. We also followed a pod of porpoises, which was a fun diversion. Justin cleaned our fish at the end of our excursion which we took home and prepared that evening for dinner. Delicious fish tacos thanks for Justin's guidance and navigation! We look forward to returning to the area and having Justin take us out for another fabulous adventure.
