October Update – Country Girl Charters

October has been a tough month for getting offshore. Between the wind and rough weather, we've only managed to fish two days so far.

Fortunately, we made the most of them! We caught some nice blackfin tuna and king mackerel on one trip, and mixed in some bottom fishing on the other, bringing home a good catch of sea bass and a triggerfish. We even caught an octopus, but he managed to sneak out through the scupper before we could get him home!

The weather isn't looking much better for the rest of the week, but that's fishing on the Outer Banks.

We'll be taking a little time off to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, but we'll be back at it November 8!

We're looking forward to some good tuna and black sea bass fishing in November and December. If you've been thinking about getting offshore, give us a call and let's get a trip on the calendar!

Thanks to everyone who's fished with us and everyone who's been patiently waiting for a weather window!

Winter bluefin trips are BACK aboard Country Girl!

After eight amazing winters in Mexico and the last five winters spent in the boatyard making major repairs and improvements, this winter we’re staying home—and the Country Girl is ready.

These photos and clips are from some unforgettable trips in past seasons. The bluefin action has continued while we’ve been away, and we’re ready to get back in on it!

Now booking winter 2027. Get your crew together and send us a message to talk dates and details.

Bookings have slowed down a little bit for everyone, but the fishing definitely hasn’t. If anything, it’s been getting better.

The mahi have finally shown up and seem to be fairly plentiful. Yesterday we got around some birds and picked at tunas, catching singles and doubles throughout the day. Today we had another good mahi catch and added a wahoo and a few tunas to the box.

The billfish bite was really good today too. Boats that went looking for sails were catching anywhere from three to a dozen per boat.

Nearshore fishing has been steady with bluefish and Spanish mackerel.

We’ve got Wednesday open for an all-day trip, Thursday and Friday afternoons open for nearshore, and a few days available next week.

We’re getting August started off right. Earlier in the week we found some nice dolphin, and there are still plenty of tilefish around. The floating grass that usually holds dolphin has been pretty scarce since the Sunday/Monday blow, but we’re hoping it returns soon.

The billfishing is definitely starting to heat up. Yesterday was one of our best days in a while. We probably raised 20 or more fish, releasing 8 sailfish and 5 white marlin. Today we had a little tougher luck holding onto them, but we still released a blue marlin and one of two white marlin. We also pulled the hooks on three sailfish. That’s just part of billfishing. We’ll get another shot at them tomorrow.

The weather looks great as far out as I can see, so hopefully we’ll be able to keep the momentum going. Back at it tomorrow.

July is always an interesting month to me. I often refer to it as “mystery month.” You just never know what you’re going to get. There always seems to be something to catch, but what that something is can change from one day to the next.

It’s been a little while since my last fishing report on July 8, so I figured it was time for an update. Since then, we’ve caught everything from Spanish mackerel and bluefish on our nearshore trips to tilefish, triggerfish and seabass on our all-day bottom fishing trips, and mahi, blackfin tuna, and a few billfish on our offshore trolling trips.

Most of our groups have been more interested in bringing home fish for the table than chasing billfish, so we’ve tried to tailor each trip to what our customers wanted. It’s been a fun stretch, with every trip telling a different story.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted an update.

We’ve been bouncing back and forth between offshore and nearshore trips lately, depending on what each group wants to do. One thing that’s nice this time of year is the variety. Some crews want to spend the day trolling, some would rather bottom fish, some are looking to fill the cooler, others want a shot at a billfish, and some just want to stay busy catching fish. We enjoy mixing it up.

Offshore has been treating us well. The mahi bite has been solid, we’ve had a good number of blackfin tuna, and a few sailfish have shown up to keep things interesting. Bottom fishing has also been productive, with plenty of tilefish along with triggerfish, black sea bass, and a few grouper making their way into the fish boxes.

Nearshore has been a little more hit or miss, but we’ve been picking away at Spanish mackerel and bluefish. When the conditions line up, it’s a fun trip, especially for kids and folks who just want to spend a few hours on the water.

Hopefully the fishing keeps building as we get deeper into summer. We’ll keep everyone posted.

June 5 and 6

We had a couple of productive days offshore aboard the Country Girl.

On June 5, we were fortunate to fish with a great group of Amish gentlemen. Out of respect for their beliefs, they prefer not to have their photographs taken, so we snapped a picture of the catch instead. The day produced a handful of dolphin and several nice yellowfin tuna.

June 6 saw the dolphin bite really turn on, and we put together a full limit before adding several yellowfin tuna in the afternoon.

Two beautiful days on the water, great people, and plenty of fresh fish headed home.

Weather got us on Tuesday and Wednesday but we did have some good fishing on Monday and Thursday.
