Fall fishing in Hatteras is some of the best anywhere. Lots of large and slot drum, specks, flounder, blues and Spanish.

A wind of change is blowing in and all are excited for great fall fishing. Flounder fishing is great and anglers are able to keep some now through the end of September. Trout fishing here should be as good as it gets towards October and November.

Fly fishing has been awesome with the weather we have been gifted. Sight casting schools is always a classic for my charters. Shark fishing has been a blast on light tackle, sight fishing them also! Lady fish, and Spanish on fly rod also! Albies are also starting to show up!

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...

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.

    What an awesome 1/2 day trip we had with Mike. It was my husband, me, and our 17-year-old son (who has high-functioning autism). Mike was awesome and explained everything very well. He kept taking us to different places until we landed some fish. It was an awesome experience.

    Trip: Hatteras Inshore / Narshore Trips

  • ★★★★★
    Carson was a great guide with plentiful of knowledge of the lake Tillery. He informed me about fish behavior and how it impacts the probability to be able to be successful. It was my first experience with the live scan and I love it. With live scan you can see the behavior of fish and how they travel through the waterway, increasing your chances of landing one. Would highly recommend Carson for your fishing trips not only for the boat and equipment but his knowledge and experience.

    Great experience! I'm fairly certain the man speaks fish. They were cold from the recent storm, but Mike knew just where to put us and the moment the sun came up we were on 'em. Cannot speak highly enough of Mike
