I haven’t had a lot of time to post reports lately because man, we have had a long stretch of beautiful weather and thankfully have been fishing every day.
Lots of fun has been had the past several weeks. Its always nice to see friends return that fish this same time every year, as well as meeting some new friends.
Offshore it has been blackfin tuna, mahi, a few wahoo, blue marlin, swordfish, grouper, and snapper. Inshore in the evenings we have had some great drum fishing trips.
I have some days available over the next month, so visit our calendar page to get your trip booked! https://fishocracoke.com/fishing-charters/




We finally had some beautiful weather here in Ocracoke this week, and the fishing was excellent. We went offshore several days and had good catches of wahoo & mahi each day. We stopped a couple of times to add some variety to the bag, and the bottom fish cooperated as well.
This is the time of the year I have a lot of groups fish with me so that they can fill their freezer up with fresh vacuum packed fish for the rest of the year. This week didn’t disappoint!
Inshore fishing has had really good red drum action, with a few black drum, cobia, and bluefish mixed in.
Give me a call and lets go fishing!



Anddddd we are off! We are back from our charter season in Guatemala, have the inshore and offshore fishing boats tuned up, and have started fishing.
We had a great couple on an inshore fishing charter this week, and the drum fishing was as good as it gets. 40lb fish as fast as you could cast for 3 hours. Just incredible.
I haven’t been offshore fishing this week, but a little birdie reported to me today that the mahi and blue marlin were about 100 miles south of us and coming fast. We can’t wait to see all of our wonderful charter fishing clients again this season.
Give us a call and lets go fishing!
The offshore fishing here in Ocracoke so far this month has been absolutely off the charts good. Don’t get me wrong, there is still a slow day mixed in here and there, but overall it has been the best we have seen in over a decade.
On our full day offshore trips its been big yellowfin tuna, mahi, blue marlin, sailfish, white marlin, grouper, tilefish, triggerfish… We have caught it all in the last two weeks.
We have also run a few nearshore half days with really nice families. They have produced a lot of bluefish, along with spanish mackerel, drum, and cobra.
Whether you are looking to check a certain billfish species off of your bucket list, or you want to fill your freezer with tasty fish to eat all winter, we can accommodate.
Come get some, give me a call and lets go fishing! You can check availability and book your charter online here.
Wow… The absolute best May for fishing that I have ever had in Ocracoke. Not one slow day yet, just unbelievable fishing. The downside is that we have been blown out of a ton of trips and been tied to the dock way more than we would like due to this wind. But the fishing sure has made up for it.
Lots of big mahi, wahoo still around, and incredible blue marlin fishing.
Inshore we have had a great spring on the drum.
We still have some dates left the second half of June and into the summer. Give me a call and lets go fishing offshore of Ocracoke!
