Well first a Wrightsville Beach report. The inshore fishing for Spanish Mackerels has been fantastic. We had a 1/2 day on Thursday morning and again had great fishing with over 2 Dozen Macks caught in a few hours. Saturday we headed offshore in less than ideal conditions, SW 15-25 knots and the farther offshore we got the closer to 25 it got. Anyway I set out on the break and caught two nice wahoo, both 30 lbs or so. By 10:00 am it was just blowing to hard and I set out trolling back inshore for a few hours. Thankfully we found Mahi, Sailfish, and king and cudas inside to keep the Charter and Rick busy. At 2:00 I called it and we steamed for home. We stopped at the inlet and spent about 20 minutes catching a dozen Spanish before a big storm ran us to the dock.
Now for the billfishing, it has gotten red hot in Morehead city just in time for the Barta Billfish tournament this weekend. Yesterday three boat caught 23 White Marlin and Sailfish and missed or lost another 30. This was after they all caught a bunch of bailer Mahi inshore. We still need a couple for Wednesday or Thursday. Let me know if you want to join.
