Yellow Mellow Kind of Day
Pshew! Today was another hot one! ORIFC saw 17 Offshore boats leave today for some gulf fishing. Despite the heat, slow fishing and losing some catches to shark activity anglers returned with reports of Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, a few Big Eye Tuna, Wahoo and 1 Mahi on the docks. Nearshore anglers found Red Drum, Black Drum and Sheepshead on the other end of their lines. Inshore fishing boasted lots of speckled trout.

Tricky Weather Thursday
Today's winds made for some tricky waters for our captains! They pushed through the weather and some made it in with decent catches!

Nearshores brought in some ribbonfish and bluefish, and inshores brought in speckled trout and spanish mackerel!
Miss Oregon Inlet brought in croaker, sea mullet, ribbon fish, and grey trout both this morning and this afternoon! Sadly the storm kept her from sailing her twilight crise, but she'll be running tomorrow bright and early!
