Morehead City, North Carolina

Reported 2 weeks ago

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,...

Summertime temps means sightcasting topwater plugs and spoons to large schools of redfish and that's exactly what we done today.

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.

Trip: Hatteras Inshore Experience
★★★★★
My grand children (10 &13) had a fantastic time with Capn Frank and his able bodied assistant. On a challenging windy evening he created as the kids said a legendary trip. We caught sting ray, blue fish, speckled trout, dog shark and a 38 bull drum that gave my grand daughter an epic fight. We also lost another bull drum right at the boat. Thanks again for a wonderful trip

Captain Greg was amazing! He made our day and time on the water more then we could have asked for. Fishing was good and clamming was so much fun. His recipe to cook them up was outstanding! Thank you so much for a great day!

Mike was the captain, but we still had a nice time. Fish were not biting today, and we only caught two bluefish over the 4 hour trip. However, he took us up and down the coast in attempts to catch more.

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.
