Windy Again!
Most of our fleet stayed at the dock today. Another windy day here at the Oregon Inlet.
Red Drum Day!
Today the luck was in the inshore. Our captains caught nice Red Drum, most were released and a couple of keepers. The wind was rough offshore and alot of our Offshore captains took a break today.
Just Made It!
We have some windy weather coming our way this weekend.Some our fishermen took advantage of today's weather. There was good Black Fin today with limits of Mahi. Our Inshore Captains caught limits of Speckled Trout and Bluefish.

One of Those Gap Days
Thursday brought another mixed bag of wind and waves, but Friday turned out to be gorgeous! With a large majority of our off-shore boats fishing today, we were hopeful for some nice catches arriving back to the docks and we were not disappointed! Fishboxes were filled with good numbers of black-fin tuna, some yellow-fin tuna, and mahi. There is good boat availability and we've got some good weather forecasts! Give us a call and let's get your day out on the water!
Anglers Near-Shore and In-Shore continue to enjoy good fishing, pulling in keeper drum, speckled trout, spanish mackerel, and bluefish.

Filling in the Gaps
Some days are better than others, when it comes to fall weather. We may fish today and stay home tomorrow, but we'll get in every day possible.
Anglers Near-Shore and In-Shore are still enjoying some great days on the water. There were some nice speckled trout landed today as well as some great spanish mackerel and bluefish catches. With spanish mackerel catches weighing in up to 9 lbs this week, maybe one of our skilled captains can get you on the sweet spot to catch that state record breaker fish!

Bob Van Heek of Wilmington, NC, caught a 118lb Bigeye Tuna.
Mary Giles of Inman, SC, caught a 20lb Blackfin Tuna.
Another Good Day after the Storm!
I guess the storm got things moving and shaking in the ocean because today was another good day of fishing. Black Fin and Yellow Fin Tuna are the talk down here at the Nostalgic Oregon Inlet. Approximately 50 years ago, we started out taking charter boat reservations in the back of Sam and Omies Restaurant. Just a little tidbit of history for our anglers! Feels like we have been here forever.
WAHOO
Derrick Creef of Elizabeth City, NC, caught a 40lb 20oz Wahoo.
Saturday Surprise!
Anglers were welcomed to a chilly start this morning, but had a fairly calm ocean after the storm. Anglers off-shore enjoyed some busy reel action, pulling in black-fin tuna, yellow-fin tuna, and limits of mahi. Congrats to Jackson Creschzo and Willie Dillard on earning trophy citations for their 20 lb black-fin tuna. There is good availability for immediate booking. We are working on assembling Make-Up charters this week and already have a few individuals signed up. Submit your request here in person at the booking desk or on our homepage.
Anglers Near-Shore and In-Shore enjoyed some great spanish mackerel catches yesterday, inching ever so closely to breaking the state record. Congrats to Owen Adelman on pulling in a 9 lb beast, a mere 4 lbs .01 oz shy of taking the title set back in 1987. He did earn the title of the heaviest spanish mac brought in to the fishing center this season. Congrats to Richard Quitiquit on his 8 lb beauty, earning him a trophy citation, as well.
Miss Oregon Inlet did not fish today, but tickets are available on all trips next week. Advanced purchase is recommended and tickets may be purchased in person at the booking desk, online at www.missoregoninlet.com, or by phone 1-800-272-5199.

Sunday didn't disappoint, either. From an amazing sunrise to fish in the box, our anglers were treated to another fantastic October day on the Outer Banks. And, it was another day of trophy citations being earned. Congrats to our anglers: Kiristopher Harrison - 24 lb black-fin tuna, Daniel Callahan - 75 lb wahoo, Kim Gilbert - white marlin release, Bob Mastriema - white marlin release, and Michael Whalen - 36 lb mahi! Nice work!
It's OK To Be Yellow!!
Nothing cowardly about our anglers venturing out today! After our captains navigated the bar, the race was on to pull in yellow-fin, black-fin, mahi, and wahoo. A big story was a 71 lb wahoo landed by Gary Gaddy. Gary and his friends with the Guiseppe Guerillmo Memorial Scholarship group took over 5 boats today and enjoyed some amazing fishing! Congrats to Mark Jordan, Jason Owen, Justin Owen, Jeff Sater, and Brian Yates on white marlin releases. Great work, guys! We were also proud to host Tinder Wholesale aboard 4 boats today as they celebrated 20+ years of fishing out of Oregon Inlet Fishing Center! We were more than honored to host a great group of our nation's finest, retired and active duty, aboard the Escape: thank you for your service!!
Near-Shore angler, Emily Vayo, was not to be left out, earning herself a trophy citation for a 6.6 lb spanish mackerel! Super work, Emily! Other near-shore anglers pulled in good numbers of spanish macs, nearly making the trophy weight.
In-shore anglers enjoyed a good day of fishing, as well. Speckled trout, spanish macks, and bluefish filled the fish boxes today.
