Got a little bit of breaking news on the offshore side of things! I'll tell you all about it plus just a tad bit of the activity in the back country as well in this report.

Beautiful weekend! Even with the rain (which we've needed) the last few days have been great. Has the fishing been great though...? Ehhhh, depends on how you look at it. I'll tell you how I saw it and what I expect to see in this report.

Growing up, Capt. Marty didn't get the chance to play or watch many sports other than NASCAR. As a young mate at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, Capt. Marty took a group offshore from the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team and was given the opportunity to go see them play in Washington DC. Just listen to how much fun Marty and a few other mates had once they arrived in our nation's capital. 

Kind of slow the last few days but I'm going to refer to this as the calm before the storm. It won't be long before you can't put enough lines in the water for the amount of fish that are fixing to show up! Don't get me wrong, there are still some fish being caught but just wait...

The bluefins are still moving around!! Here, there and everywhere!! Gonna get you up to speed with that in this report. Also... would you like to fish on the very same boat I use to run right before I retired? There is an opening this weekend and you can hop on it! Listen up and I'll give you the details on how!

Great weekend weather wise that's for sure. Was the fishing great as well? I'm fixing to tell you in this report.

As you've probably already guessed the last few days have not been great fishing weather at all, BUT I do still have a few things to talk about!

In the words of Capt. Omie Tillett "Sometimes the fish need a day off too". Well, with the unsettled weather we've had lately they've had a few days off. Hard for anyone to get out offshore and the beaches haven't been super active either. There have been stripers (aka rockfish) caught in the sound, but you can't keep them in certain places. I'll get you up to speed with all of that in this report.

Mother Nature teased us at the end of last week with some pretty weather! Now it's back to reality but the fish honestly didn't seem to care in some regards. I'll get you up to speed from the weekend (mainly Saturday) in this report.

Wrapping up this week and looking forward to the weekend!!
