Over the past ten days, our Gulf Stream trips have been nothing short of spectacular! We’ve encountered a fantastic variety of fish, with groupers leading the charge. One of our most exciting moments was bringing a 40-pound gag grouper right up to the boat, although we had to release it due to the season closure. We also landed a beautiful 33-pound black grouper, and the scamp groupers have been abundant as well. In total, we caught twelve groupers across two trips. Snapper fishing has also been excellent, with over twenty snappers each trip, and we land anoit 500-600 poinds of amberjacks, most get thrown back. We haven’t done much trolling recently, nut we know that the wahoo are out there, especially around the 120-foot depth range, so there’s always excitement on the horizon. If you are seatching for a once in a lifetime epic trip, book the gulf stream with me and ill put you one em!

Catch and Cruise NC: Fishing Report We had some incredible trips this week, with both offshore and nearshore adventures bringing in a bounty of fish! Offshore in the Gulf Stream: We landed an impressive 50-pound wahoo and maxed out on blackfin and silky snapper, hitting our limit of 20 fish with just two of us on board. If we’d had more anglers, we could have easily doubled or tripled that number! We also brought in a few amberjack over 100 pounds—one was even partially taken by a shark, and it still weighed in at over 100 pounds! Add in a beautiful scamp grouper and a 25-pound king, and we had an offshore trip to remember. Nearshore Adventures: Earlier in the week, we stayed closer to shore and still found plenty of action. We had lots of shark encounters, some solid black sea bass, and even managed to reel in a 28-inch gag grouper just a few miles off the beach—a rare treat for North Carolina waters! Spanish mackerel are still around, though a bit more scattered, so it’s all about finding the right spot and sticking with it. Ready to Get Out There? The Gulf Stream is always productive, and flexibility is key.

Despite some rough conditions offshore due to a tropical storm, the nearshore and inshore bite has been fantastic. Anglers have been landing plenty of redfish and black drum around the docks and bridges, especially when timing the tides just right at the inlets. The Carolina Beach Inlet has been a hotspot for big sharks, and the mullet run is in full swing, making it a prime time for some exciting catches. The Spanish mackerel are still around, though a bit more scattered than earlier in the season, but if you find them, they’re definitely there! If you can make it out to the tower, you’ll find a ton of African pompano and some really big cobia, mixed in with more amberjack than you could dream of catching. This weekend also marks a special two-day red snapper season, but you’ll need a bigger boat—think a sportfish or something 35 feet or larger—to make it offshore. For those looking to book an offshore adventure, Monday, July 14th, is looking perfect for a trip. Let’s get after them—book your trip with us today!
