The last few days have been non-stop fun on the water - we've been reeling in plenty of Spanish Mackeral and some beautiful Blluefish! The bite is on, and the conditions have been perfect for a great day of fishing along our stunning OBX coastline. Offshore has also seen quite a bit of action lately. Nice Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi and a few Marlin are being caught. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking for a laid-back day on the water, now's the time to book your trip! Still a few openings left in June - but they are going fast! Book your trip today - Let's get hoooked up!
