BLOW DAY!
No one ventured out off-shore today! The seas are high and the wind is GNARLY!
There were some hearty anglers latching onto some very nice striped bass today one of our In-Shore boats. Enjoy some tasty meals, guys!! These anglers earned trophy citations for red drum releases. Congrats to Jaden Knisley and Ty Ross for releasing a pair of 48" red drum. Nice work!
We're looking for some nice weather mid-week and we're hopeful to assemble a couple of make-up charters. Visit our homepage or the booking desk to sign up!
A Fruitful Day!
We had about half of our Offshore Fleet go out today. Alot of Yellow-Fin and Black Fin Tuna reported with a few Mahi and Wahoo. Our Inshore Captains reported catching 38
Sheepshead. Speckled Trout were also caught in abundance. Hopefully the wind will die down soon!
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!

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.
