Welcome to a new week, sort of! Looks like the windy weekend we had is going to hang on for a little while this week, but I do have some news from the Nags Head Surf Fishing Tournament and a little bit more fishing as well!
Capt. Marty and Justin took the show on the road to Wanchese Marina and The Landing Grill. Always a good time with great company, lots of laughs and good food! Brenda hops on to talk about all the fishing that's been going on, Wanchese Harborween and a little something new that's coming up at the end of November! There's also a little bit of deer hunting discussed to add to this fall weather that we are having.
Happy Friday everyone! We have some weather on the way so this weekend is probably going to be a wash BUT we have had some great fishing over the last few days.
We have made it halfway through the month and we actually have quite a few things to talk about in today's report. If you happen to find yourself around Wanchese Marina today around 11am we will be recording my Other Side of Fishing Show from The Landing Grill. Stop by and say hello and chat with Justin and I if you'd like!
Great news!!! We got a fleet out yesterday! It wasn't the best fishing day but things are moving in a great direction. I'll talk about that plus the drum bite that's going on in this report.
The winds over the last few days have kept things a little slower than usual, but there are still some things to report on. I'll let you know what those things are in this report.
Fishing over the weekend was interesting to say the least. Some spots were hot - some spots were not! I'll explain in this report!
Here's another one from Capt. Marty's youth down at Ponce Inlet, FL. After reading the book "Ra Expeditions" Marty and his friends Jeff & Bob decided to set out in his skiff from Ponce Inlet to Titusville, about 60mi. away, where his aunt lived. About halfway through the excursion they ended up at Mosquito Lagoon, and that's where the trouble started...
Happy Friday everyone! We do have some weather on the way for the weekend but we have had some good fishing over the last few days. Hopefully it sticks around after the weekend but we will see!
Lots of fishing done in some spots... not so much fishing done in other spots. What does that mean? I'll explain that in this report.
We are getting deeper and deeper into the Outer Banks fall fishing season and it is becoming obvious in a lot of ways. Not too busy of a day on the water yesterday but there were fish caught for those that did go. We will talk about that in this report.
I'll tell you what... a day can make a lot of difference in the fishing world. The wind switching cause the fish to get confused a tad, but not too confused. There were still fish caught. I'll do my best to keep you from being confused in this report.
Welcome to a brand new week! Our first full week of October. I'm sure yall remember the old Wendy's commercial years ago that said "Where's The Beef?!" Well, I'm gonna tell you where the MEAT is in this report (and there's A LOT of it)!!!
We are about to roll into a weekend that will hopefully yield some great results on the fishing front. What we have had has been great on all fronts! I'll talk all about it in this report.
Welcome to October! Fishing is... well, it is decent in some areas, not the greatest in others and not too shabby in others! Hopefully once the highway gets open things will start popping again down on Hatteras Island. I'll get you all caught up on what's taking place in this report.
Knocking September in the head with things sloowwwlly getting back to normal on the fishing front. There is a little bit of life out there so listen up and I'll get you up to speed.
The ocean is calming down, highway 12 is getting repaired much quicker than anticipated, and that's great! Still getting back in the swing of things on the fishing front so I'll get you up to speed with what has been happening in this report.
Happy Monday morning! This is the first day after a big blow from last week. I mean, you can only play Twister and Monopoly but so long before it's time to fish again. Believe it or not there has been some fishing being done. Keep the folks of Hatteras Island in your prayers.
The year was 1979 and I took a trip like no other on a boat in the Florida Keys. Sounds like Gilligan I know, but this has a much more pleasant ending and was a lot more fun too!
Heavy winds and heavy surf have put a little bit of a damper on things over the last few days but so not too much to report on in that regard, BUT I do want to give you a fall fishing forecast in this report so listen up!
