Spanish, Blues, and Specks, Oh My!
Unfortunately, no offshore boats made it out today due to the high winds sticking around, but we're hoping they get back on the water tomorrow! We had some inshore and nearshore charters go out today, and here's their catch reports: Inshores came in with bluefish and speckled trout, and nearshores came in with more bluefish and spanish mackerel!
Miss Oregon Inlet had a great morning and afternoon trip! Grey trout, bluefish, spanish mackerel, spot, croaker, just about everything that swims in the sound! Book your tickets online at missoregoninlet.com, in-store at Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, or over the phone: (252) 441-6301!

Storms Ahead...
12 offshores made it out and had a pretty good day (aside from the wicked waters)! Blackfin tuna, mahi, wahoo, sailfish, and blue marlin were caught by offshore boats today! Nearshores had a good morning as well, bringing in flounder, spot, croakers, bluefish, spanish mackerel, and ribbonfish! None of our inshores made it out today unfortunately so no catch report there. Miss Oregon Inlet reported some big sea mullet this morning!
The next few days are looking nasty, so be careful everyone! We're planning on no sails across the board tomorrow, but hopefully the weather clears quickly! Stay dry out there!

Rough seas, rough catches, and broken phones :(
6 offshores made it out today and the fishing had a mixed review from captains. Some said it was decent while others said it wasn't good. Either way, everyone brought in a little bit of something! Blackfin, yellowfin, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tilefish, false albacore, sailfish, and blue marlin were reported. Nearshores came in with ribbonfish, albacore, and spanish mackerel, and inshores came in with trout and bluefish with good red drum bites!

Nearshores reported spanish mackerel, albacore, trout, red drum, and they slammed the ribbonfish (as usual!). Inshores came in with red drum, pompano, and great speckled trout!
