Bluefish

It was a beautiful Spring day in Oriental, North Carolina as I welcomed Larry aboard for our NC Charter Multi-Species Fishing Adventure. April is a prime time for inshore fishing in these waters, with the warming temperatures bringing the Bluefish, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Stripers into the shallows of the Pamlico Sound and Neuse River. 

We set out from the docks, ready to target whatever was biting best. I rigged up with a mix of fly fishing, baitcasting, and light tackle setups, knowing we'd need to be adaptable to find the hot bite. It didn't take long before Larry's rod doubled over - he'd hooked into a feisty Bluefish that put up one heck of a fight. We worked that fish hard, and after a few wild runs, he brought it boatside. Always a fun fish to tangle with!

Over the next few hours, we covered a lot of prime inshore water, sight-fishing the flats and working current seams for any signs of life. The fish were active, and we had a blast working different presentations to draw strikes. Though we didn't land any monster Reds or Trout today, the non-stop action on the Bluefish kept us thoroughly entertained. It was one of those perfect days on the water - great weather, excellent water conditions, and steady fishing action.

If you're looking to experience the best inshore fishing that North Carolina has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking the NC Charter Multi-Species Fishing Adventure with Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters. Whether you're after Redfish, Speckled Trout, Stripers, or just want to get in on some fast-paced Bluefish action, we'll put you on the fish and make sure you have an amazing day on the water. Can't wait to get you out here and on the fish!

Coastal Carolina Comes Alive With Explosive Bluefish Bites and Trophy Inshore Quarry

We had a fantastic day out on the water today with Cheryl and the crew, chasing inshore species in the famed Pamlico Sound and Neuse River near Oriental, North Carolina. April is a prime time for this kind of multi-species action, with the warming waters bringing the fish up shallow and keeping them hungry.

The weather wasn't ideal, with some wind throughout the day, but we were able to adapt and find the fish. We tried a variety of techniques - fly fishing, bait casting, and light tackle - to cover different depths and target the most active species. While we didn't manage to hook any big Redfish or Speckled Trout, we did find some feisty Bluefish and Stingrays that kept us on our toes. 

The wind made things a bit tougher, but we stayed positive and just focused on enjoying the day out on the water. Between the occasional hookup, we took in the beautiful Pamlico scenery, admiring the marshes and wildlife. And even without landing any prized inshore species, the camaraderie and overall experience made it a truly memorable trip.

If you're looking to get in on the best inshore fishing that North Carolina has to offer, I highly recommend booking a trip with Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters. Whether you're targeting Bull Reds, Slot Reds, Bluefish, Stripers, or the ever-elusive Speckled Trout, Captain Dave and his team have the skills and local knowledge to put you on the fish.

Adrenaline-Fueled Striped Bass Chase on the Neuse River Delivers Unforgettable Angling Bliss

It was another great day out on the water with Joe, exploring the Neuse River and Pamlico Sound near Oriental, North Carolina. April is a prime time for inshore fishing around these parts, with the Spotted Seatrout, Red Drum, and other species really starting to get active in the warming spring waters. We had partly cloudy skies and great water conditions, perfect for our light tackle and fly fishing adventure.

As soon as we got the lines in, the action picked up. Joe was into Spotted Seatrout right away, working his fly presentation perfectly to draw strikes from these feisty fish. Not long after, he hooked into a nice Red Drum, putting up a nice fight before we got it in the boat. We kept rotating through different techniques - baitcasting, light tackle, and fly fishing - picking apart the structure and points to find where the fish were holding. The variety of species had us on our toes, and it was just a blast going after whatever was biting.

The trip had a great flow, with steady action and a nice mix of fish. Between the productive fishing, the comfortable ride, and the beautiful surroundings, it was a day that really encapsulated why I love guiding these inshore charters. Joe was a pleasure to have on board, and I could tell he was having a blast trying his hand at different presentations and techniques to get those fish to eat.

Hook into Pamlico's Prized Inshore Trophies

Reel in Coastal Gems: Uncover Pamlico's Prized Inshore Species

Today, anglers aboard the Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters enjoyed excellent fishing conditions in Pamlico Sound. The morning started with a productive session targeting redfish around the oyster beds and marsh grass edges. Using live shrimp and cut bait, anglers found success with several slot-sized red drum ranging from 18 to 27 inches.

As the sun rose higher, we shifted focus to speckled trout in deeper channels and around submerged structures. Artificial baits such as soft plastic paddle tails and popping corks with live minnows proved effective, yielding trout in the 14 to 20-inch range. The trout bite remained steady throughout the mid-morning hours.

Later in the day, we ventured to sandy flats and sandy-bottom areas to target flounder. Using mud minnows and Gulp! baits bounced along the bottom, anglers hooked into some quality flounder, with notable catches weighing up to 3 pounds.

LOTS of Spikes.  Move if you are catching them, Gators are around but a different spot.

Winter trout bite is HOT! Fish are between creek entrances & as far back as you can get.  Fish SLOW & then slow down more. Mid Day seems to be peak.
