We were excited to see the Spanish really chewing on this mornings trip! We’ve been catching a few here or there for a little while but today was the first day we really brought them in the boat in large numbers! Always excited to see these migrational, tasty fish arrive here in Carolina Beach. The best bite is usually our morning trips so for the most action set those alarms and lets go!

We have been having a blast going after Atlantic Bonito which are only here for a short time usually April/May as they migrate north. Not to be confused with the Bonita aka little tunny, or false albacore, which is a strong meaty tasting fish. The Atlantic Bonito is a prized eating fish. They are known for their firm, dense, and sweet-tasting meat, which is delicious when prepared sashimi, grilled, or baked. Our morning trips have been especially productive bringing in all you can handle Atlantic Bonito, blues and spanish. Come get em while theyre still here!

Fall fishing is here and we are ready for it! We’ve had great fishing offshore targeting Amberjacks, king mackerel and barracuda. Inshore the spanish are coming in the boat as well. Our latest trip even included a citation Amberjack weighing in at 52lbs

We’ve been knocking the Amberjack out of the park now that tropical storm Debby has moved out! We had a great trip recently but still has to pay the tax man as seen in the 1/2 Amberjack above. Hopefully that’ll keep is paid up for the foreseeable future!

We have been having great luck offshore bottom fishing and trolling. Barracuda are coming in the boat more and more. Cobia are also making a show on our 3/4 and full day trips! Amberjack bite is still going strong as well.

The spanish mackerels have been hit or miss lately due to hotter water temps with morning trips having the best luck at finding the bite. Offshore the Amberjacks are still plentiful and putting up that classic amberjack fight! Barracudas have been coming in the boat more and more as the season heats up. Book your trip today! We just listed a special one day only American Red trip for July 12th which is the only day in NC that this fish can legally be caught and kept. We can only run one so if thats something youre interested in dont wait- book now!
