Morehead City, North Carolina - Saltwater Fishing Report
Big rock
This has been one terrible April for weather and fishing. Over the last couple of weeks we have caught a few tuna, a very nice wahoo, and many kings. Today we fished the NE Corner and finally got a good bite from 11:30am till 2pm. During that time we caught 3 nice yellowfin-30+, a small yellowfin, a small wahoo, and 2 dolphin. We lost a very nice bull dolphin at the boat and lost a couple more tuna. I will tell you this we earned them because the seas were 6-8 and the wind never did lay down even though the weather man said it would. Hope all you guys do well in the wahoo tournment this weekend. The weather does not look the greatest. Be careful and safe.

Bio: Captain Bill is a USCG licensed captain with 17 years of fishing experience in the Atlantic Beach/Morehead City, NC area. I retired last year after 30 years in the field of education. I was a teacher/football coach, athletic director, and the last 12 years a high school principal. I am now living my dream of charter fishing full time. I believe and encourage customer participation on the charter. With our charter you get to actually fish not just "ride and reel" unless that is what you want to do. I enjoy sharing my fishing experience with others and will do whatever is necessary to make your trip the best fishing experience you've ever had. The boat is a 33' Grady White Express (2006) and the electronics and tackle are first class.
