Thereโ€™s more than just Speckled Trout biting back in the Sound waters of the Outer Banks. Red drum, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Bluefish, Sea Mullet, and of course, a plethora of Flounder, are all joining the fray! We have been catching these species by both jigging and bottom fishing and putting plenty in the cooler for a fresh fish dinner! Book a trip now to make some family fishing memories.
