June & July fishing

Fishing in and around Oregon Inlet has been fair to good lately depending on the wind. East wind has been the best by pushing the blue water closer to the beach. Last weekend, we caught gaffer Dolphin within 14 miles from the inlet. The Amberjack fishing has been great over several wrecks, with some AJ’s going over 50lbs., but most are 20-30. The Cobia fishing for me this year has been on the slow side, but I haven’t really been looking hard for them. The Striper around the inlet have just about vanished. Back in the sound, small Croakers, Spot, and Flounders are hitting fair, but nothing to get excited about. Check out the photo galleries for your picture. Sorry they haven’t been posted sooner.

Just call me Capt. Slack. I know its been awhile on the fishing report, but its hard to find the time. There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to do it all, but here goes. In the sound, its been a mixed bag. When the waters clear , the flounder fishing has been great, but not many big fish. The croaker and spot really haven’t shown up good yet, but I feel like it’s any day. Puppy drum and trout are good on day , then its slim picking for a few days. The rockfish have been the same way. You catch them good on either live bait or bucktails, then they stop biting for a day or two. Most of the rockfish we have caught have been over the 28" limit. The most popular fish in and around the inlet has been bluefish. They have been running from 1-4lbs. most days. Outside the inlet, the biggest fish would be the Cobia. Some days you’ll see 1or 2 and the next its 15. You just never know until you go looking. The Spanish Mackerel also have shown up since the water warmed up. Off the beach, good catches of King Mackerel, Amberjack, and a few lost Dolphin. The deep drop guys are catching tilefish and sea bass. In the blue water, tuna, Dolphin, and wahoo are going in the fishboxes. Overall, fishing is good. Now, if the weather will just hold out. If you want to go catch some fish, send me an email or give me a call. I see what I can do about putting you in the meat.
Thanks, Ray
