Blue Marlin - 1 released

Earlier this morning there was an article released deeming the Oregon Inlet not navigable to vessels. Based on where markers are currently set and the shoaling that has accumulated, that would be true. HOWEVER, our charters set their plotters by hand and in a way that does not directly correspond with the aforementioned markers allowing them to continue maneuvering through the channels and inlet. 

In the event that Oregon Inlet Fishing Center vessels not be able to sail, the booking desk or captains would reach out directly. Fortunately, that is not the situation, and we are still fishing everyday when the weather is in our favor :)

Waters were slick calm today! Another day, another empty creek -- fishing slowed a bit offshore compared to the last few days, but they still got in with great mahi, yellowfin, blackfin, wahoo, and a few blue marlin and sailfish releases. Nearshores did good with seabass, ribbonfish, bluefish, and spanish mackerel; inshores had a good day with drum and a nice big cobia! 

We've had an empty creek the last couple days, and it hasn't been for nothing! Tons of mahi made its way back to our docks, along with good handfuls of yellowfin and blackfin tuna! Nearshores have been doing well with the bluefish, spanish mackerel, and seabass; while inshores are still slaying the speckled trout and red drum!

A busy weekend here at OIFC, with tons of pictures to show!

There's nothing like coming to the marina in the morning seeing an empty creek with a slick sheer sound back view. 

All of our offshore boats made an attempt to get out onto the meat today. Coming back in with wahoo, big eye tuna, yellow fin tuna, black fin tuna, false albacore, king mackerel and mahi-mahi. Two sails today were hooked and released. 

Blue fish bites all through out the near shore. Tomorrow starts the 2022 black sea bass season and we are here for it! 

Happy anglers inshore with red drum and speckled trout.

The water has cooled down from all that mess in weather we experienced this past week but a shore fishing report today consisted of blue fish and red drum. We haven't heard much from the Bonner pier other than some sheepshead bites. 

Check us out on Facebook and follow along for all of our fishing reports and pictures.

It 's been a slow week without fishing, so we wanted to take the opportunity to clarify some of our business hours.

Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is open Monday-Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. & Friday-Sunday 4:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m.

When weather is inclement, like it has been, our hours are adjusted to 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.

What did the pirate say about the winds?

RRRRRRRRRG you kidding me?

We can relate to that joke....Probably the last day out for a few days due to the high winds coming our way this week. Three offshore boats put on their pirate hats and hit the sea coming back in with gaffer mahi, yellow fin tuna and released marlins. 

Even though our nearshore boats didn't have trips, they still went out and played around since the cobia's are starting to come in while also catching blue fish and spanish mackerel. 

Our inshore boats laid low today but the drum and trout are still biting sound side. 

Sheepshead bites are strong on the Bonner Pier.
