Capt. Marty's Outer Banks Fishing Report & Stories

Still sold fishing taking place in the ocean and in the sound. I got your full report plus a weekend outlook. I also want to invite you to our LIVE recording of the Capt. Marty Show at A&W Sales in Pinetown next Thursday October 2nd at 10:30am. I will be talking more and more about that as we get closer to that date. Have a wonderful weekend and may the good Lord bless you!

From a week ago where there was no fishing happening offshore to RECORD BREAKING fishing offshore happening right now! Literally, record breaking! Listen to this report and I'll give you the run down!!

There was fishing done on all the Outer Banks fronts yesterday, but in some cases folks had to work for what they caught. I'll explain it all in this report.

It was a tad on the breezy side for the offshore fleet but there was still fishing taking place in other areas that yielded pretty solid results in a mixed bag of catches! Listen and I'll get you up to speed!

Fishing was hot and cold this weekend... what do I mean by that? Listen to find out all of what went down in the deep!!

Things are pretty much back to normal FINALLY! Fishing has drastically improved all over! I'll tell you more about that and what to expect over the weekend in this report.

FINALLY!!!! Some signs of LIFE!!! Things are getting back on track in the fishing world! You'll see what I mean in this report.

It would be nice if the wind would STOP for just a little bit, or even slow down some so the fleets could get out. Kind of the same song and dance with the drum bite but I do want to talk a little about what we could expect when the boats do get a chance to go back out.

The Red Drum bite is still the hot topic, but there are some other things to be discussed despite the wind and the rain we've had.

DRUM, DRUM AND MORE DRUM!!! That's the tone of today's report. I don't know what the heck is going on with this wind but it has its advantages and disadvantages. I'll tell you all about what I mean in this weekend wrap up!

Not much to report on offshore or even near shore but the piers, surf and back country are where you want to be. Why? I'll explain more in this report!

This Nor'easter has kept a lot of our fleets tied up at the docks, but the piers and the beach have been rather exciting! Gonna talk to you about that plus what has been cooking in the back country.

The wind is keeping some of the fishing down, but making some of it better. Check out the latest fishing details from Corolla to Ocracoke!

Pretty solid fishing from over the weekend on all fronts. Great turnout for the Community Care Clinic of Dare's fishing tournament this weekend as well! Going to talk about all of this in today's report! I have a new phone number!! If you have an fishing questions or need advice give me a ring on the Capt. Marty Hotline and leave me a message! 252-216-2797!

With "tournament season" coming to a close, Capt. Marty and Justin recap what the season was like from May through September. They also talk with Mr. Wayne Howell Jr. of A&W Sales in Pinetown, just outside of Belhaven, NC, about their store & services and Farm Days coming up in October. Back on the fishing side, they make a call over to Outland Seafood on highway 64 in Manns Harbor and chat it up with Curtis Cahoon about the commercial fishing scene these days along what happening in ...

Things picked up yesterday!! The white marlin slowed a bit offshore but there was a good harvest of meat fish on all fronts. The backcountry is still "all the rage". I'll talk more about it plus give you a bit a fall forecast in this report. Also another episode of my Other Side of Fishing Show drops tomorrow morning at 6am, be sure to set a reminder!!

If the wind would lay out for us that would be great! Still fishing being done and I'll tell you where and what was caught in this report.

Fishing over the Labor Day weekend was hit and miss with the breezy conditions we had. I'll tell you where it was hit and where it was miss in this report and also talk a little about the Gibbs-Shoal Tournament in Hyde County!

The year was 1990. Bull Tolson, captain of the Sea Toy and his mate Mike Day were fishing the very last day of the Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament. Late on that last day they hooked up to a monster of a blue marlin. Knowing that it was still anyone's tournament to win, they fought that fish hard got it in the boat as fast as they could. They were still a ways offshore and it was a race against the clock to get back to Pirate's Cove Marina to potentially win the tournament. Did they make it ...

Two words: WHITE. MARLIN!! Yes, the white marlin bite is on!! I'm going to talk more about that, give you a weekend outlook and talk about the upcoming Gibbs-Shoal fishing tournament in Hyde County taking place this weekend all to benefit the Engelhard Volunteer Fire Department!
