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.

🚨 Brew Thru Customer Update — We Need Your Help!

North Carolina is considering legislation that would allow licensed retailers like Brew Thru, grocery stores, convenience stores, and wine shops to sell sealed, low-ABV, spirit-based premixed cocktails like High Noon, Nutrl, Cutwater, Stateside, and similar products.

These are not bottles of liquor. They are sealed, ready-to-drink canned beverages with alcohol levels comparable to beer, wine, and hard seltzers already sold responsibly in retail stores every day.

The North Carolina House ABC Committee unanimously approved language allowing these products to be sold in licensed retail locations. Now we need the North Carolina Senate to include this language in HB 198 and help get it across the finish line.

This is about consumer choice, fair competition, supporting small businesses, and updating outdated laws so North Carolina can catch up with the 12 out of 17 control states that already allow this including Virginia.

It will also help restaurants and bars by creating a more convenient distribution system through existing beer and wine wholesalers.

If you would like to see Brew Thru and other licensed North Carolina retailers be able to sell low-ABV premixed cocktails, please contact your North Carolina Senator and ask them to support adding the RTD / premixed cocktail language to HB 198.
