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!
Fishing was great just about everywhere yesterday! I'll talk to you about where and what was biting and WHO was catching them in this report.
Not a whole lot has changed in the last 24hrs except for the fact that the pier fishing on the north beaches had some different classes of drum running. I'll tell you more about that in this report along with more details about the Gibbs-Shoal Fishing Tournament taking place in Hyde County this weekend.
Seems as if the best two spots to fish yesterday were offshore and in the sound. I'll talk about those two spots along with the inshore and piers in this report plus the upcoming Gibbs-Shoal tournament taking place in Hyde County this coming weekend. I'll tell you how to go about entering it too!
Got your weekend wrap up and the results from the Virginia Beach Tournament in today's report!
In light of Hurricane Erin coming by the coast a few days ago, Capt. Marty tells a story from one summer day back in 1991 when he was the captain of the Reelin'. He and Capt. Mike Clarkin who was then the captain of the Fishing Frenzy got off to a late start with their charters out of Oregon Inlet. While out fishing, they were made aware of a pretty intense line of thunderstorms heading their way. Listen to what happened next!
This is more of a lack-there-of fishing report. I'll do a quick recap of what has been caught but I also want to make you aware of what the fishing scene could be like coming out of a hurricane so listen up!
As you may have guessed there wasn't a whole lot of fishing being done yesterday. There was some, but not a lot. More of it in the back country and in the surf than anywhere else. I'll talk more about that and what we can expect fishing-wise on the other side of this storm.
Believe it or not there was a pretty good day of fishing yesterday, considering the swell is starting to roll in from Erin. I'll tell you what was caught on all fronts in this report and gonna talk a little about what could happen with Erin coming by our coast.
Kinda of a scrappy weekend offshore but thankfully that wasn't the case for the end of the Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament! I'll get you up to speed with all of that plus a look at our soundside/back country report which seems to still be great!! Hurricane Erin is looming in the Atlantic and that's likely going to put a damper on most of our fishing this week but I'm still gonna be here to let you know what I know!
A quick update of the leaderboard as we await the Deep Color with their big blue marlin. What a fun day this last day of the tournament has been!
Capt. Marty takes a quick break from the craziness to sit and chat with the man who started this tournament way back in 1984, Mr. Barry Martin.
The Marsh Madness is BACK AT THE DOCK with a 878lb BLUE MARLIN!!!
