Default Outer Banks fishing

The fish are here....
Just call me Capt. Slack. I know its been awhile on the fishing report, but its hard to find the time. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to do it all, but here goes. In the sound, its been a mixed bag. When the waters clear , the flounder fishing has been great, but not many big fish. The croaker and spot really haven’t shown up good yet, but I feel like it’s any day. Puppy drum and trout are good on day , then its slim picking for a few days. The rockfish have been the same way. You catch them good on either live bait or bucktails, then they stop biting for a day or two. Most of the rockfish we have caught have been over the 28" limit. The most popular fish in and around the inlet has been bluefish. They have been running from 1-4lbs. most days. Outside the inlet, the biggest fish would be the Cobia. Some days you’ll see 1or 2 and the next its 15. You just never know until you go looking. The Spanish Mackerel also have shown up since the water warmed up. Off the beach, good catches of King Mackerel, Amberjack, and a few lost Dolphin. The deep drop guys are catching tilefish and sea bass. In the blue water, tuna, Dolphin, and wahoo are going in the fishboxes. Overall, fishing is good. Now, if the weather will just hold out. If you want to go catch some fish, send me an email or give me a call. I see what I can do about putting you in the meat.

Thanks, Ray
