King Mackerel

It was a little choppy yesterday but Ryan, Jackie and I eased out and did some live bait fishing for Kings.

 Once we got out there the fishing conditions were nice. We caught 2 Kings a False Albacore and a few throw back fish. It was nice to hear the reels screaming when the Kings hit. Another great day of fishing!!!

Cobia and Blue fish

Katey, Wade, Kelsey and I headed out to Cape Lookout today after a report that Cobia were in the area.

We worked the area over well with some other boats and only a small one was spotted. We cruised back to the inlet tossed the anchor and caught a few Blues while lite lining a live bait. We had a small Cobia strike but didn't get a hook up. No Cobia in the boat but a Beautiful day on the water at the Cape and fresh Blue fish for dinner.

Light tackle Blue fish

James, Dom, Jake and Brendon From the US Air Force joined me for some light tackle Blue fishing.

We got into them pretty good and had a blast.

Flounder, Sea Bass

Donnie, Dustin, Charles and Shane joined me for a flounder trip on Saturday. We worked the AR Reefs and got a couple keepers and a few undersized but overall the Flounder bite was slow. We fed  Black Sea Bass at all our stops and will be back in June when it is open season.

Cobia, Flounder, Sea Bass, Blue fish and more

I am a few days behind on the fishing report but here we go. We had great weather this weekend for fishing. On Friday Don Hodnett and son Don joined my oldest brother Kennie and I for a Cobia fishing trip off Shackleford Banks. We found a few bait balls but didn't get a Cobia to bite. Don caught a giant Sting Ray and it was a real battle to get him off the bottom.

Cobia fishing out of Emerald Isle NC

Brandon and I headed out Thursday for an afternoon cobia trip and quickly put two in the boat. The first one was in a bait ball and the second one was just cruising near the surface. The big one weighed 84 lbs. We were fishing with Cobia squid jigs By Easy Hookers and live bait.

Emerald Isle fishing turns on..

What a GREAT week of fishing it's been in Emerald Isle.  Near shore Cobia fishing and offshore Flounder and Grouper fishing is on!  I had a trip yesterday with Todd Elmore and Mark Shore.  We started out Cobia fishing and had one hook up.  We then moved off the beach and started jigging for Flounder and did a little Grouper fishing as well.  We put one Flounder and four Grouper in the boat and released several Sea Bass and a monster Stingray.  Christopher Abee, Brandon Braxton, Jonathan Casey and Brandon Rouse caught a big 75 lb Cobia on Thursday.  If you are looking to get in on the action book your fishing charter today at 910-538-2749.

Offshore flounder and nearshore Cobia

The weather and fishing has turned on. Don Hodnett from Florida and son Don Hodnett from Ohio joined my brother kennie and myself for some offshore Flounder jigging.  We found a couple small areas holding nice size flounder. We  ended up keeping 13 and throwing back a handful to grow longer.  My friends Randy, Cindy and Brandon were also out today and had a great catch of  Cobia. Check out the photos from today.

Grouper, Flounder, Spanish, and more...

After a bumpy start in the morning yesterday, the wind and seas laid down and the fishing was on. Spanish were feeding on the beach and a variety of bottom fish were biting in the ten mile range. The water temp. is getting right and the fish are on the move. Flying fish were within four miles from the beach. In the photo below Steve Dominguez is all smiles after a great day of fishing.

Bait Balls and Cobia

I have had a few reports of Cobia being caught around bait balls this past week.  So after getting a call that there was a couple bait balls just off the beach, I dropped the boat in and headed out to check them out. Sure enough there were several schools of Menhaden just off the beach. Ben joined me as we tried to pull a Cobia from the area. We didn't see any Cobia but the Blues were eating the bait fish up. We ended up putting on flutter jigs and put a few Blues on ice for to go along with Miss Lisa's famous garden salad for dinner.
