blue fishing is still been very good around the sound in Hatteras. Also the red drum bite on cut bait has really picked up with the cooler water. Sheepshead fishing has been very good when you can get out on the wrecks outside the inlet or around the ferry basin...

Sheepshead fishing has been very good when you can get out on the wrecks outside the inlet or around the ferry basin on the Ocracoke side of Hatteras inlet using sand fleas and hermit crabs. As the winter progresses we will fishing in the Albemarle sound for stripers and targeting big catfish on the Roanoke River all winter. That spring comes we will chase shad up on the Roanoke River and then switch over to completely Rock fishing in April

Speckled trout fishing has been as good as it gets. Sightfishing redfish has been good when the weather permits. The fish are falling into their winter patterns and the water is clearing up on the Pamlico Sound.

Fall fishing is as good as it gets right now. We are catching a nice variety of fish and in good numbers. Most days we are seeing speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and really big bluefish.
