Giant bluefin season officially closes at 11:30 pm today; however, that does not slow down the bluefin charters. We are allowed to keep any fish under 73" and there are a bunch of fish under that threshold out there. Yesterday, we released 4 bluefin about 68-70", caught a nice wahoo about 30 lbs, and a few king mackeral. Not a bad day at all. Still time to get in on the bluefin action

The bluefin tuna have arrived, and our season is open. Come experience, the thrill of hooking into the fish of a lifetime. The season will not be open long, so, don’t delay, book your trip today.

Left the dock this morning breaking ice to get out of the marina, hope I didn't wake the hood up in the process as it was loud. Made our way to the bridge and the shoaling is bad, reading as little as 6in under the props, not fun in the dark. Buddy fisjed north yesterday and never turned a rod so we made our way to the south hoping to land on the blackfin. We worked hard and covered the grounds but the bite was slow. We had the marks but they were deep and stayed deep, eventually they had...

Left the dock this morning breaking ice to get out of the marina, hope I didn't wake the hood up in the process as it was loud. Made our way to the bridge and the shoaling is bad, reading as little as 6in under the props, not fun in the dark. Buddy fisjed north yesterday and never turned a rod so we made our way to the south hoping to land on the blackfin. We worked hard and covered the grounds but the bite was slow. We had the marks but they were deep and stayed deep, eventually they had to come up, but just not while we were there. Got a little beat up the first 20miles home into a stiff north wind, thankfully it laid down and we made good time. We spent a little time searching for deep water through the shoal but it wasn't to be found. Finished the ride home with a pretty sunset and cut the few fish we had. Great groups of guys and we had a good time. Weather will allow us to fish Thurs and Friday if we get enough guys to get the trip together. They're out there, just gotta stay on em.
Been a bit since last report, ran a few offshore trips before I left for Ohio. Had Wounded Warrior Project bring 10 vets down and ran them on 3 boats. Great day, lots of enjoyment but the troll bite was slow, we had a blast swimming and horse assin around at the end of the day. Next day ran offshore, trolled up 37 small blackfin, landed 2 out of 3 wahoo as well. Also had a trip we did some sea bass and amberjack fishing, it's all a blur so not sure what day was what, but it's been fun!!!...

The drum fishing has been great at night as well and that should stay solid through Sept into Oct.
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!

Capt. Tim brought a combination of long and deep skills, along with sensitivity to the client's needs and preferences. What was a slow fishing day, was still a first frate experience thanks to his knowledge and efforts, We'll likely go out with him again, but in season!
Great fishing and boating trip with a lot of fishes, great music, a lot of fun and great memories!!!😎🤩🤘🏻. Thank you Clay for this wonderful experience and for your happiness!
Absolutely incredible fishing charter from start to finish! Me and three others went out, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Evan was our guide, and I can’t say enough great things about him. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and made sure everyone had a great time.
We caught plenty of fish, but honestly, the laughs and good times were just as memorable as the fishing. Evan kept the energy up the entire trip and made it feel like we were fishing with an old friend rather than just a guide. He knew exactly where to put us on the fish and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a fishing charter where you’ll catch fish, have a ton of laughs, and leave already talking about the next trip, this is the one. We’ll definitely be booking with Evan again. 10/10 experience and highly recommended!
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.
I’d highly recommend Captain Clay for an inshore fishing trip! We booked a two-hour outing, and from start to finish, Captain Clay was personable, knowledgeable, and experienced.
He was right on time and even called ahead to confirm our reservation, which was a nice touch. Since this was our first time fishing inshore, we opted for the shorter two-hour trip. Captain Clay is more accustomed to half- and full-day trips, but he never made us feel rushed. In fact, he offered to extend our time if we wanted and ultimately gave us an additional 20 minutes on the water.
It was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable captain, I’d definitely recommend Captain Clay!
Captain Frank is the real deal of OBX when it comes to fishing! He is a very knowledgeable friendly captain ready to accommodate your fishing experience. Would book again every time with my family!
