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...

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.

fall inshore fishing is well underway with an amazing mixed back bite. We are still seeing a lot of redfish, but the speckled trout and black drum have made a strong showing as well. Additionally the old drum bite is still well underway for those that are seeing a trophy catch.

redfish bite continues to be excellent. Our old drum have shown up in good numbers as well offering a great opportunity for someone looking for a trophy fish. They'll be here through the first of October.

    Mike and the crew were awesome! We headed out despite rough seas and they put us on fish! We brought in over 50 fish and it wore us out! Mike and Kyle were great and kept First mate Kody busy helping us out all day as the fish were coming in! He was wonderful! A+ and highly recommend them!

    Our eco/island hopping/dolphin watching boat tour with Mike was amazing. He made sure we saw everything we came to see. My son saw dolphins in the wild up close for the first time. Each island stop was so cool seeing the different birds and water creatures. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend!!!

    My dad and I really enjoyed our trip with Captain Mike. The fishing was a little slow, but that was not Mike's fault and just part of fishing. We really appreciated the genuine effort he put in to trying different spots and methods to put us on fish, which ultimately got us to catch a few Blues.
