Hello Everyone,
Spring is near and we should begin to see a turn in our weather and water temperatures. Mike and I have spent the Winter targeting massive schools of Wintering Reds as well as some Speckled Trout and Black Drum. Lately, we've turned to the Spring nearshore bottom bite and here's what to expect if you're interested in a fishing trip this Spring.

Hello Everyone,
Spring is near and we should begin to see a turn in our weather and water temperatures. Mike and I have spent the Winter targeting massive schools of Wintering Reds as well as some Speckled Trout and Black Drum. Lately, we've turned to the Spring nearshore bottom bite and here's what to expect if you're interested in a fishing trip this Spring.
March- We're already doing well with the nearshore bottomfishing. Due to the commercial closures we've got plenty of keeper sea bass on the nearshore bottoms. Bottom fishing trips include Seabass, Grunts, Ringtails, and Tautogs. The action is often non-stop! We're also targeting large schools of redfish along the surf zone and some smaller schools of redfish in the backwaters. March will also offer the chance for Neuse River Trout and Striper.
April- By April we will still be targeting those nearshore bottomfish but will begin to see flounder mixing in with the catch and the chance to sightcast to albacore and bonito. The redfish will begin pushing into the backwaters in better numbers and there will be a big run of bluefish from 1 to 5lbs. The ICW and surf will begin holding loads of Sea Mullet, Blowfish, and Grey Trout too. (mid to late april offers the opportunity for some great family fun trips with lots of early season inshore action) The Neuse River will still offer the opportunity for Striper and Trout.
May- Beginning in May we will start to see most of our inshore species in place for summer... Cobia, Spanish, Kings, Hatteras Blues, Mahi, Flounder and more will be avail nearshore and the inshore waters will be holding Flounder, Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Bluefish. My prediction is a VERY good Summer Flounder season! Our Summer Flounder migrate much of the Atlantic Coast and the extreme cold winter should force more Summer Flounder south from Long Island and Virginia.... these fish should begin coming ashore along NC's coast. We're expecting Great catches of Flounder from 2 to 4lbs this season. Be sure to book your May-Sept. Flounder trips early! We're already booking dates! Below are some photos from previous May Trips
