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.

Fall fishing is underway. The Spanish mackerel are right on the beach and in the inlets tearing up bait. False albacore are just off the beach a few miles in big numbers. We picked up a skipjack tuna mixed in with the albies the other day which was a nice surprise. Inside the redfish and flounder bite is going strong and up the Neuse the old drum are doing their thing.

The redfish bite has been great the last few weeks and for the people wanting some variety we are seeing some really nice black drum. Spanish mackerel and bluefish are also an option if catching a bunch of fish is all you care about.

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.

The dog days of summer are upon us, and when the weather cooperates the Spanish and Bluefish blitz is as good as it gets! Drum inside have been tough but we're finding them, so if you want action, it's Spanish and blues, but if you want the hunt and thrill of payoff, it's reds!

    Inshore fishing trip with Capt Jack was top notch! Hooked up within the first 5 mins of our lines in the water. Teenage son had a blast. Usually catch and release but decided to keep our limit on the Red Drum. Capt Jack did a nice job filleting them out and sent us on our way with our fresh fish on ice and even some grilling tips which we followed the next evening. Pleasant, professional, and personable. Thanks Jack!

    We had the best morning with Justin! He was friendly, engaging, and provided a lot of education on the area, the water, the fish, and fishing. We got to explore many different parts of the river to ensure we had ample opportunities to catch both speckled trout and red drum. We also followed a pod of porpoises, which was a fun diversion. Justin cleaned our fish at the end of our excursion which we took home and prepared that evening for dinner. Delicious fish tacos thanks for Justin's guidance and navigation! We look forward to returning to the area and having Justin take us out for another fabulous adventure.

    Bradley is top notch. Everything from the gear, to the location, guide skill, and hunting dog was everything a person could look for in a guided hunt. Bradley’s dog, Shay, made some of the most impressive waterfowl retrieves I have ever seen. I will be sure to book with him again next season!
