At the end of the trip we headed out to the ocean and caught some Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish to round out our catch. This afternoon our crew headed out to do some chumming for Sharks and Cobia but they seas made them a bit queezy so we headed back in close to shore and caught a mess of Spanish and Blues.

Today Austin and Jessa headed east to try to find the pretty water we were in the other day. We had to search a bit but found it about 3 miles east of where it was. We started off with a double header of Gaffer Dolphins on Trout rods with 10 pound test. We got two more singles on the light tackle before the wind started to crank up. It was getting rough fast out there so we headed in to look for a Cobia near the beach but never saw one. Thanks guys, those were the biggest Mahi we’ve ever caught with Trout rods on the Sneaky!

Fishing was really tough today. We had fog this morning and some of the strongest current I can remember due to the mini hurricane that reformed yesterday. We caught some Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish
but the Sharks and Cobia just didn’t want to play. This afternoon we did some Trout fishing to start then tried for a Cobia. Conditions were still tough but we did manage one small Cobia that we released. Great to have Ryan and Bill Denny back again this year!
This morning Tom and Tommy had great shark fishing. We caught Blacktips, Spinners, Sandbars and Sharpnoses. With overcast conditions we were hoping for a Cobia but we never got one in the slick. This afternoon Will and Sean brought their girls down and we had great action with sharks but they were mostly big Spinners. They followed us for 2 hours with non stop hookups putting on a great show with some spectacular jumps. These girls were on to it. Great job guys and girls!
Fantastic trip this afternoon with Charlie Joe Eric and Dave. We decided to do some chumming since it was cloudy. The fog rolled in once we got out there but we had non stop action with Blacktip, Spinner and Sandbar sharks. When it was time to go we reeled in our baits but saw another shark in the spread so we fed him a bait. Then we saw another so we put out one more and hooked him. Then I looked behind the motor and saw a big Cobia that wanted in on the action so we threw him a Meat Hog Bucktail and ended the day with a 49 pound Cobia! Great job guys!
This afternoon Christopher and his crew headed out to try to get him his first Cobia since he always wanted to catch one. We got one good shot and made it count with a citation 44 pound Cobia. Great job Christopher. No pizza tonight!
This morning Rasheeda Jesse and Akiela went looking for Cobia. We caught Three but two were a little too small to keep. Lots of action for this great crew from Georgia and Richmond VA. Rasheeda is looking for a new home for her father Jesse to retire near the coast. Good luck on your search and keep me posted!
This morning Jim and his crew came back after having a great day with Trout Blues and Stripers a couple weeks ago. We went after Cobia this time and got two including a 57 pounder!
Don and Steve had a fun afternoon looking for Cobia. We saw several in some chilly water near the inlet that would not bite. We decided to make a run and found some warmer water with a few willing fish. Great job on your citation fish Steve!
This afternoon Matt Dan and Susan went to look for a Cobia. The water was still a bit cool but we managed to catch 2 out of the three Cobia we saw. The third one refused the bucktail and wouldn’t even eat a live croaker we pitched in front of him. Two out of three aint bad. Great job guys!

Yesterday afternoon Madison and Tana had a fun trip. We caught some really nice Sea Mulluts and found a school of Stripers busting bait on top that were very willing to bite. Really fun day with a couple of cool girls that really enjoy the outdoors!
The Cobia are here! Today Captain Greg Erwin from the North Carolina Ferry Division and his wife Ashley joined me on a Cobia trip. We got a hot tip from a good friend and were lucky enough to box 2 nice Cobias! Always a pleasure to have Greg and Ashley aboard. They are some of the most avid fishermen I know. The Cobia have just arrived in our waters and fishing for them should just get better over the next month. They are the largest hardest fighting fish we catch in our inshore waters and also some of the best eating fish we catch. We sight fish with spinning rods for them and it is very exciting to watch these fish chase down your jigs. They can reach up to 100 pounds with the average being about 40 pounds.
Today Jeffrey Love and his group from Camden NC headed out on a cool breezy morning. We started out catching lots of Speckled Trout. Later on after the wind died out we went to look for some Sea Mullets and they were biting on our first drop. We caught 51 keeper Sea Mullets with a couple citation sized fish in the mix. We tried to get out to the ocean to look for a Cobia but conditions on the bar were not safe due to the wind from last night and early morning so we headed back in. Thanks guys!
Dale Boyer and his family headed out this morning in foggy conditions. We stayed close and caught Speckled Trout to start then headed to another spot where we found the seasons first Sea Mullets. They are one of the best eating fish we catch on the OBX. We also caught Spot Croaker Grey Trout Pigfish and lost a nice Flounder. We spent the last hour of the morning trip in the ocean and saw one Cobia aroud 40lbs. He followed the jig but did not bite. All in all a great action packed morning trip!
This morning Bob Walter and Anne had good Speckled Trout fishing. We caught a few keepers and plenty of action with smaller fish too. Anne was the star, she caught most of the fish and showed the guys how its done. Thanks for a fun morning guys!
