Summertime Fish Feeding Frenzy

Aug 5, 2024 Wanchese
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.

The Speckled Trout bite has been outstanding back in the nothern sound waters. We have had some just exceptional days of trout fishing catching these head shakers. Now with these more mild wind and weather days we are catching great trout in great numbers. A couple brothers and I caught our limit that included two citations. The fishing is just going to continue to get better! Book a trip now!
