Did really good during the NC flounder season (Sept 1-14) we’re mostly chasing bull reds the rest of the time in the Neuse river and Pamlico Sound, with some slot reds and speckled trout in the mix. We have had a few encounters with Cobia, good casting action for Spanish mackerel, and false albacore as well.

Between the almost endless winds we've have very steady action bottom fishing for groupers, snappers, triggers etc. A few king mackerel nearshore, with good casting action for spanish mackerel, bluefish and bait fishing for sharks. Inshore has been tough overall but, there's are a few redfish, speckled trout, black drum and sheepshead in the mix.

Ocean fishing has been good nearshore and offshore.... lots of casting opportunities nearshore for bluefish and Spanish mackerel on light spinning gear as well as a splash of king mackerel and amberjack on live bait nearshore. If you find a happy pack of amberjacks you can get them to take topwater plugs and even fly tackle. Not to mention the sharks, plenty of action to those wanting to target sharks and many times even those anglers that don't want sharks. On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers,...

On the days the weather allows offshore bottom fishing has been good, we're still catching good numbers of gag groupers, trigger fish, vermilion snappers and a few sea bass plus all the other typical species. There's still a stray Cobia or two most days and a few mahi too.
