Oak Island Fishing Charters got onto a epic Red Drum bite today after a slow morning it was one after another till we got tired of catching them..  I took pictures with my phone and cant seem to be smart enough to get them onto the computer.  I will keep trying here is the first one cant get the second trip

Today Oak  Island Fishing Charters got lucky considering how the wind stirred up the water yesterday.  After a slow start we finally caught enough bait to go sharks fishing and will have to say the kids did great.  Even though the sharks were not big we did manage to land 6 and take pictures.  Waiting on the pictures.

We earned every fish we caught today cause they just did not want to bite and the wind did not make things any easier.  The ocean was not rough but it was very windy.  We did manage to land 2 sharks and missed a couple on the bluefish we caught for bait.  Hope we can get out tomorrow.

Oak Island Fishing Charters went back to give the Shark a sore lip but they had other plans.  After yesterdays non stop action and the conditions ideal this morning fishing was way off from yesterday.  We got there early and landed 2 big Blacktip Sharks that spent just as much time out of the water than in the water.  We missed a few more and caught a little one all before 8-830.  Then just like a light switch it was over, no more shark catching back to the fishing part of it.  We had a little time left so we caught some pogies and got a big citation Spanish.  Taking tomorrow off since the wind looks like its going to blow to get the boat ready for a long stretch of Grouper Fishing.

Oak Island Fishing Charters was on a 1/2 day Nearshore Shark fishing mission.  After the poor results we had over the weekend it is nice to see that the shark bit today was as good as it gets.  We stayed hooked up with big sharks all morning, dont know how it could have gotten any better.  Hope they stick around for tomorrow.

Tuesday Oak Island Fishing Charters had a 1/2 day fishing adventure and for the longest time we could only fish 2 rods catching bluefish as fast as you could.

Oak Island Fishing Charters left the dock around 9 this morning for a 1/2 day Spanish Mackerel fishing.  We found very clear 64 degree water that produced 30 plus Spanish Mackerel and over a dozen big bluefish.  All the Spanish were between 16-19 inches.  Hope this is how the nearshore fishing will be for months to come.   Backwater fishing the next couple days.

Finally Oak Island Fishing Charters got into a good bite of King Mackerel today and we also had a nice cobia to go in the cooler.  Looks like Friday-Sunday the bite will fire up on the beach.

Oak Island Fishing Charters fished the beach today hoping the fall migration of the jumping King Mackerel would do their thing.  First 10 min 25lber in the boat then alot of riding.  On our way home the bite turned on for about an hour so tomorrow should be game on.  Oct. can be some of the best fishing close to the beach but just like any other kind of fishing its up to the fish.

Oak Island Fishing Charters played behind the Shrimp boats again today and the big Sharks are still around.  After all the wind we have had its good to see something is still around.  We have several days of great weather coming so now its off to looking for King Mackerel or Grouper.
