Despite the crazy weather conditions this week, fishing has been very good! Sound side fishing has been hot, with some good-sized Speckled Trout, plenty of Drum and Bluefish, and some very good Sheepshead fishing on Bridges and other structure! We have plenty of live Fiddler Crabs in stock if you are looking to get in on the Sheepshead bite.

This morning, Jennettes Pier is reporting 65° water temp, and anglers have landed Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Spot, and Croaker. Jeff From Nags Head Pier is reporting Small Trout and Bluefish. Yesterday, they had a good run of Sea Mullet. 

The surf has been angry most of the week. However, there has still been some good fishing at the right time and place. Some Big Bluefish up to 10lbs, Drum, Sea Mullet, and even a few nice Pompano have been caught. The best of the surf fishing has certainly been down south of Buxton, but the folks fishing here in town and down near Oregon Inlet have also had some luck with Bluefish, Drum, and Sea Mullet.

Offshore has seen some excellent Tuna fishing the last couple of days with some boats having limits before lunch. We have heard good reports of Yellowfin, Dolphin, Wahoo, and a few Big Eye Tuna!
