Cobia fishing has been great this September. We're catching them sight casting and bottom fishing. Trout and red drum have been very good since the water has cooled down, and the artificial bite has really picked up using zman 3 inch paddle tails in pinfish color. Trout and red drum will continue to get better as water cools down for october. This picture is Amanda VanDyke with a nice one!

Fishing in the Pamlico sound has been productive. We've had Highwinds the past week which has made it difficult. But next week is looking great. We've been catching a lot of drum, speckled trout, every now and then will get a new pod of bluefish. In the back waters here behind Rodanthe for this time of year, I must say the bite has been pretty great!

    Frank was great. We hit the water early and saw a beautiful sunrise. We drift fished a few places and didn’t have any luck. He then found a spot with blues hitting the bait but we got skunked today. It was still a great day on the water. I highly recommend Frank.

    We have a great morning with Captain Joey. We went across the sound that morning and caught a bunch of beautiful trout. We also caught ribbon fish and croaker . It was fun because we were always on Fish. We would gladly go with captain Joey again

    Fishing trip with Captain Jimmy Pititti on Pamlico sound was a pleasant experience! We had some fun and close sightings with Dolphins but not much fish that day. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your vast knowledge of local history. Terri Lynn Boyd

    Trip: OBX Inshore Trips

    Had a great time fishing with Captain Jimmy, caught a bluefish and a spotted sea trout on our morning outing. We only needed to bring ourselves and a cooler of drinks and snacks, he handled the rest, including poles, rigging, and fixing tangled & snapped lines. We only wish we would have planned our trip in spring or fall so we could catch even more fish, but we were satisfied with what we caught for the time of year (late July) and the recent very hot conditions. Highly recommended experience with Captain Jimmy!
