May is an excellent time for inshore multi-species fishing around these parts, with the warming waters drawing in Redfish, Bluefish, Trout, and more. The weather was cooperating fully, with clear conditions throughout the day, and the water was in great shape as we launched from Lawson Creek Park. As soon as we hit the river, we started working the light tackle, casting live bait and lures to cover the different structure and current seams. It didn't take long before Tevin's rod doubled over—he had hooked into a feisty Redfish that put up one heck of a fight. After a few tense minutes, we got that beauty in the boat, and it was the perfect start to the trip. The action kept coming, with Tevin landing a scrappy Bluefish shortly after. We worked different spots, and the fish kept coming, making for an exciting and productive day on the water. The scenery around New Bern is just stunning, and being out on the river with the sun shining made the whole experience that much better. Between the great fishing, the beautiful surroundings, and the awesome company, this trip had it all.

North Carolina Inshore Multi-Species Fishing Adventure
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.

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.

Striped Bass Bonanza: Inshore Fishing Adventure on the Neuse River
It was a beautiful April day when Taylor joined me out on the water for some fantastic inshore fishing around New Bern, North Carolina. The Neuse River is truly a special fishery, and this time of year is prime for targeting a variety of species like Striped Bass and Spotted Seatrout. With clear skies and great water conditions, we knew we were in for an action-packed day. As we launched the boat from Lawson Creek Park and started working the river, it didn't take long before the rods started bending. We tried a mix of techniques, from fly fishing to baitcasting, to see what the fish were keying in on. The Striped Bass were hitting our lures aggressively, putting up a great fight and showing off their impressive size and power. In between the Stripers, we also managed to hook into some nice Spotted Seatrout, which put on an impressive aerial display before we carefully released them back into the river. The fishing stayed consistent throughout the day, and it was just a pleasure being out on the water. Between the great scenery, comfortable boat, and the satisfaction of tight lines, it was the perfect way to spend a day.

Joe was into Spotted Seatrout right away, working his fly presentation perfectly to draw strikes from these feisty fish.

North Carolina Fishing Report
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.

Bull Drum are arriving
Water temperature is up (91 degree water today) and Tarpon & Old Drum (Bulls) are in the Neuse River. We caught a 42" Red today. Covered a lot of water to find fish. focus on bait balks.

Pamlico Sound & Neuse River July
Water Temperature is right for Tarpon migration & Old Drum (Bulls). Bait balls are present already in the rivers & bluefish schools are everywhere. Great catches of slot drum & trout in main river and sound. Some old drum are already being caught on some trips. As always, the best fishing is rising water fromwind tides. Shouldn't be long before the Old Drum schools are around the bait balls. Tarpon rolls are being spotted near the river mouths. Night fishing already productive on the shoals.

Had a great time on the water! He was easy to talk to, never bored! Dave was great with our 12yr old son. I love that he used live bait. Highly recommended!

I'm 41 and I caught the biggest redfish I have ever seen in my life! Captain Dave is a great guide and an even better person. So much fun. Thank you again! Justin, Bryce, and Clark

Had an awesome experience in the Pamlico Sound with Captain David. I’ve never fished for Drum before and caught the biggest fish of my life. Wow! What a great experience!

Really tuff conditions. Captain Dave worked hard to find fish. Unfortunately they had lockjaw. Excellent captain, really nice boat and equipment.
