Wide Eyed at the Big Eye & Yellowfin Tuna
Offshore fishing was a blast today with catches as soon as the lines hit the water! Nice hauls came in with Gaffers, Tile fish, and a few Mahi. There were also a few citation qualifiers with Big Eye Tuna weighing in at 157 POUNDS! WHOA that was a huge one! Another happy angler hooked a Big Eye weighing in at 140's range!! Our docks have been colored nicely with Yellowfin Tuna today! The largest we have on record was 122 pounds & another at 82 pounds. Unfortunately, some of our anglers took a hit with their yellowfin catches when the sharks stopped by for lunch.
Nearshore anglers brought in mostly Cobia. One citation was issued for a 40 pound Cobia!! Not too shabby!!
Inshore fishing was a bit slower due to the warmer water temps today. Regardless, our docks were lined with blues, speckled trout, flounder, Red Drum and a few spinner sharks.
Miss Oregon Inlet will be sailing tomorrow! There are a few spots left on the boat! Come on in and get your tickets, call 252-441-6301 or book online at MissOregonInlet.com.
Unfortunately, we had no pics to post with our report for today. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it on the big ones we brought in and "the big ones that got away!" Until tomorrow ~ Kelly

Yesterday, our offshore boats were extremely happy with the awesome amount of big-eye tunas making it to the docks! There were 28 CITATIONS for big-eyes yesterday!

Mahi K.O.!
Today was a pretty good day for our offshore fleet, many coming in with tons of mahi-mahi gaffers. Tuna fishing hasn’t been so great, but today we had a few yellow-fin and one black-fin tuna reach the docks!
Our nearshore fleet has been bringing in copious amounts of bluefish and spanish mackerel, with a citation for a 55 pound cobia! Nice! The inshore fleet has also been bringing in blues, as well as striped bass, flounder, sea trout, and a few cobias as well!
Today was a bad day for the sea mullet as our headboat Miss Oregon Inlet absolutely killed it today with them.. In the words of captain Chris Crockett, they “blasted” the sea mullet!
Our Safari dolphin tour is running tomorrow, Friday the 24th! She departs at 3pm and there’s still tickets left! Reserve your spot ASAP at oregon-inlet.com or by calling us at (252)-441-6301!
