Sorry for the long delay in reports, but we have been super busy. North Carolina is seeing some awesome fishing now, with a lot of catches of blue fin and the tasty yellow fin tuna offshore. Also, dolphin and wahoos are starting to fill anglers’ coolers. Inshore, the puppy drum and bluefishing has been pretty good with some decent sized fish being caught. Some migratory shad and stripers are showing up as well.

(The picture was caught on board of TidalFish.com member, HIT N RUN’s boat.)

Several boats offshore today. Although the catches of yellowfin were not as good as yesturday. Boats average about five to six yellowfin per boat, along with awsome bluefin fishing again today. With some wahoo’s, dolphin and makos. Our nearshore boat went wreck fishing and had lots of tilefish and seabass. We have charters available, so let one of our experience captains take you out and make all your fishing dreams come true.

Even though today started out blustery, it turned out to be a beautiful day for fishing. A Near-shore boat caught and released a number of Sea Bass. One of the four Offshore boats who went out this morning came back at 1:30 pm with his limit of Yellow Fin Tuna. The next boat came back with a 130 lb Blue Fin Tuna and 15 Yellow Fin. Another boat came in with 6 Yellow Fin, and the other had 10 Yellow Fin. A 27ft private boat came in late this afternoon with 27 nice Tilefish. All in all, it was a great day for fishing!

It is a beautiful day here at Oregon Inlet. We had 2 boats offshore and 1 nearshore boat wreck fishing. The nearshore boat returned with a great catch of tiles and some grouper. The offshore boats caught and released over 20 bluefins each and brought in 1 per boat. The regulations on bluefin are one per boat per day from 27″ to 73″. The parties did not have their tunas cleaned so we don’t have an exact weight. The report from the captains on weight was 120lbs to 160lbs. What a great day of fishing.”

Saturday was a good day for the Oregon Inlet boaters. Limits of Yellowfin and Bluefin were caught. Near shore boaters caught Sea Bass and Tilefish.. Piers reported Skate and Dogfish. Outer Banks pier caught one Black Drum and a few Croaker. Can’t catch a fish unless you wet a line. Time to get out there.

I understand there were Bluefish caught on the north side of the cape on Thursday. I also was told the Drum were in the pond north of the inlet. The Little Bridge on the Nags Head/Roanoke Island caught Stripers and Shad. Only Dogfish on the northern beaches. The SSE wind is gusting at 22 kts. The water temp is 48 at Avalon pier. 50 at Oregon Inlet Marina.”

More next week, go get’em!
