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 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.

    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
