"Really!!" | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | 07/26/10

I mean REALLY. What do you believe? Yesterday the near shore forecast looked like we were going to be blown away. Check it now...doesn't even look like the same forecast. What do you do? Where is weatherman Rube when you need him?

Call in sick...let go fishing!!


""The Jerry Slam"" | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | 07/26/10

I hope you were fishing today...The full moon brought on a nice bite...The water has cleared up and the wind was calm this morning. We put it to the trout this morning on artificials and then moved on to catch some flounder. The flounder cooperated pretty well today. A few redfish also came in the mix. I failed to land any trout myself today, but my buddy Jerry caught five or six. Jerry also landed several flounder and a few redfish completing the inshore slam. See ya on the water!








"In Shore King?" | OIFC World Cat / Carolina Cat | 07/26/10

A king caught in shore? Nope, a 30 lb king caught in 90 ft. of water on an in shore spinning combo. Bill Creveling (Winchester, Va. & OIB) was fishing on one boat, while his friends Jeff Young and Hanley Ervin were fishing Jeff's 23 ft. Grady White using jigged up bait. Jeff and Hanley were messing around, casting bait with an in shore combo. That's when the unexpected happened. A 30 lb king bit on the combo. 2+ hours and 2 men with sore shoulders later, they had landed the big king.

This may sound a little fishy, but I know Bill fairly well and though it's a good fish story, it's a true story. Thanks for letting us in on the action.

Hilton Head Island Fishing Off The Hook Charters
7/23-7/25 Pic's Of The Day!













Another great run of fishing the past two days! Jacks, bull redfish, sharks and tarpon
not a bad medley of fish to choose from. Here are just a few shots from the last 2 days
with my clients and some really nice fish! The tarpon was from today and was a river
monster I am estimating 130-140 pounds! One of the biggest tarpon I have ever had a
client hook! We fought the fish this morning for over a hour and touched the leader a few
times to verify the catch but the fish broke the line before we could pull it aboard for
measurements and pic's.

Tony Bailey and friends from Stafford VA were with us today. Glad to have them back aboard. They enjoyed calmer seas than we have experienced lately. We landed about five miles above a dolphin bite and five miles below a tuna bite. We decided to work up to the tuna.....but only managed to land 2 out of 4 tuna for the day. These were a very nice class of tuna. Some boats caught as many as 8 tuna. We also caught a sailfish, lost a wahoo, and landed a small gaffer.
Thanks guys, hope you will come again.
Danny and guest mate Pete.

Fishing Report 7/25
It was real windy again today out of the southwest. There was not much reported from the beaches except some blues and spanish at the inlet early this morning. The wind is expected to switch out of the north tomorrow which should help.
No boats fished because of the windy conditions.

[Saltwater Fishing]

Central District

For the week ending July 25

Ocean: Anglers caught plenty of Spanish mackerel near shore, with a few bluefish mixed in. Offshore, anglers saw larger, but fewer, dolphins landed, along with lots of wahoos, a few kings and a couple barracuda. The head boats had nice catches of vermillion snapper, gag grouper, black sea bass, gray triggerfish and white grunts.

Inlets/Sounds/Bays: Private boat fishing was slow, with many small flounder caught, as well as a few croakers and speckled trout. Pigfish, pinfish, and small black sea bass were in the mix, as well, but the strong winds took a toll. Some nice sheepsheads were taken along the bridge pilings, as well as some puppy drum in the creeks.

Piers/Shore: Again, the turbidity slowed shore fishing, although pinfish and pigfish were still biting at the piers. Juvenile sharks were caught in some abundance, as well. Anglers occasionally reeled in bluefish, Spanish mackerel, spot and croakers, as well as skate and rays. Some pinfish, pigfish, croakers and small sharks were also landed on the shore. Fishermen caught some nice pompano, in the two-pound range, in the breakers, mostly from the piers. King fishermen caught Spanish, kings and an occasional tarpon.

Northern District

For the week ending July 25

Ocean: Offshore anglers continued to experience the most consistent fishing of all anglers with nice catches of yellowfin, blackfin, bigeye, and skipjack tuna. These anglers caught their limits of dolphin most of the time, and they caught little tunny, Atlantic bonito, wahoos, and king mackerel with much less frequency. Billfish catches lessened as compared to previous weeks. Ocracoke and Hatteras anglers caught a variety of bottom fish, including vermillion and red snapper, snowy, gag, and yellowedge grouper, barrelfish, blackbelly rosefish, gray triggerfish and blueline tilefish. Midrange activity was uneventful with the exception of a few striped bass and red drum caught around 8 to 10 miles offshore. Artificial reefs provided moderate amounts of black drum, sheepsheads, tautogs, and spadefish. Near-shore success has been the same the past two months with bluefish and Spanish mackerel caught in high-volume, short-term sessions. Croaker, spot, and kingfish were caught on a regular basis but were tough to access in the near-shore surf zone. Assorted others fish were caught in low amounts.

Inlets/Sounds/Bays: Anglers saw much improved keeper ratios with their flounder and spotted seatrout catches. Oregon Inlet yielded the bulk of the flounder, mostly caught in the shallow waters near the islands and land masses. Spotted seatrout, along with some very large kingfish (sea mullet), were caught throughout the area. Anglers continued to find Roanoke Sound the hot spot for trout in the early morning and just before dark. Anglers at Manns Harbor reported a modest increase in striped bass catches.

Piers/Shore: Anglers had success rates similar to that of the near-shore boaters. Spot, croaker, and kingfish that were not accessible to boaters proved easy prey for land-based anglers, who filled their coolers with very little effort. Pigfish, pinfish, weakfish, flounder, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, black, red, and banded drum, spadefish, banded rudderfish, pompano, puffers, needlefish, skate and assorted rays and sharks were caught in varying amounts. Pier-based cobia catches improved once again, mostly in the nighttime hours.
