Swansboro Trout Tournament Win!!

The rain did not put a damper on the 18th annual Swansboro Speckled Trout Tournament. We had a fairly good turn out with all the serious trout fishing competition from the area. The key was finding some clean water that had not been dirtied up from all the rain last week. John Hislop and myself were lucky enough to find clean water and catch some good trout. We had a bag of 18.9lbs with a 8.5 and 7.3lb trout to take the win and big fish award. Awesome day to say the least to hold out against some of the best trout fishermen in the state. We went back to the same area on Monday but the brown dirty water had moved in. The fish were shut down some, but we did manage to catch a few nice trout and redfish. There are some really nice fish showing up and the action should improve over the next month. November, December, and January are some of the best month of the year to catch a lot of trout. I have days open so don't miss out on some good fishing.

Awesome Fall Fishing!!

We have had some great action on the water the past few weeks. Redfish, Speckled Trout, Albacore, Bluefish have all been on fire. The albacore and bluefish action is as good as its gets. They are destroying bait fish in the surf around the inlets and out to the shoals. Blues in the 2 to 5lb range have been provide us with some awesome top water action. The redfish are schooled up in massive numbers in the surf right now. This past weekend on Saturday Nov. 7th we put 61 reds in the boat in the upper slot range. The reds are still back in the bays and river hitting just about anything you get in front of them. Speckled trout are on the move and we have been catching fish up to 5lbs. Sunday Nov.8 we had 15 keepers with 8 of them weighing 4 to 5lbs. The fishing is hot and we have days open so give us a call.
