This year has been the best Red Drum fall fishing ive seen in a while.  All the trips Sat, Sun, Mon and Today saw great action on the Red Drum.  The King Mackerel nearshore still have not made a strong showing but it should happen any day now.  We hope that day is tomorrow but first thing in the morning we are going to pull on these Red Drum again then go look for King Mackerel.  BTW Thursday the Wahoo better swim fast.

 

The last several days has been a roller coaster ride with the Red Drum fishing.  In the Ocean we have had no problem catching the Big over the slot Red Drum the last 4 days.  The backwater fishing has been a real hit or miss on the drum action but when you do find them its game on.  Here is a picture of a huge Drum caught in the backwater and it was a slow trip but had a big reward.

What looked like the worst day of the week to go fishing turned out to be a windy, cold and awesome drum catching nearshore fishing trip off Oak Island NC.  Its been a log time since I’ve seen this many big drum biting.  Looks like we will be fishing nearshore the next 5-6 day before we head to the stream for a boat load of big wahoo.

Once again Im way behind on the fishing reports but Ive been fishing everyday.  The charters have been  in the backwater catching Red Drum and Flounder with great results.  On the Nearshore trips we have been catching huge Sharks of Oak Island and lots of King Mackerel and big Spanish Mackerel off the East Side of Bald Head Island.  We also got this nice Sail Fish while looking at land and this proves that you never know what the next bite will be.  The offshore trips have been producing great catches of Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna and Grouper.  I will be fishing almost everyday the next several weeks so Ill try to be better at updating the report.

I will admit Ive been slack the last couple week on the fishing reports but I do have a good reason.  Im still fishing everyday all day and the fish are chewing.  True meaning of Backwater to Bluewater the last 8-10 days with great catches of Red Drum, Sharks, Spanish Mackerel, Grouper and Amberjacks.  Fishing does not get any better than right here at Oak Island.  Still have a few days open in Oct so hurry up and don’t miss out.

 

We have been really busy here at Oak Island fishing in the backwater and nearshore.  With fall fishing right around the corner fishing should get better everyday.  The Red Drum, Black Drum and Speckled Trout are providing steady action daily with the charters. On the nearshore scene the Spanish Mackerel and Shark fishing is about as good as it can get.  We will be trying to catch a big Tarpon in the morning and after that picture (I hope) I will post some pictures from the past couple weeks.  If you have not booked for Oct we still have a few days left open.

The Sharks are still around but the Spanish Mackerel have gotten small.  With the steady shark action I guess the Spanish can take a back seat for a while.  Get ready for what looks like to be a great fall with the water temps around 77 now.

Well after an awesome week of weather the fishing could not have been any better.  We caught everything that we set our goals out to catch which was a wide range of fish from 1 ft or water to 150ft.  The Red Drum, Black Drum Speckeled Trout and Flounder provided steady action in the Backwater behind Bald Head Island.  The Spanish Mackerel and Shark Fishing has been hot on the Nearshore trips off Oak Island NC.  The offshore fishing is steady as always with Blackbass everywhere while we are targeting Big Scamps groupers.  Just remember Backwater to Bluewater we got you covered.

Over the last week we have dodged rain for the last 4 days but it did not stop us from catching some fish.  The flounder bite has really picked up and perfect timing since the drum slowed down a little.  The Sharks are still around also but this week should produce great catches for all the charters.  Camera is on the boat and I will upload sometime this week.

We just had a beautiful week here at Oak Island followed up by some great Catching.  The Shark bite has been on fire and provided lots of action for the customers with comments like “who needs to watch shark week”.   Spanish Mackerel are here 1 trip but gone the 2nd but we are still catching them just have to make big moves to find the fish.  Live baiting for Spanish have produces some huge 6-7lb class fish also.  Backwater fishing has slowed down some with the water getting hotter but the fish should pick back up soon.
