Mr. Jimmy is one of my most frequent fliers. He comes and fishes with me about twice a month and I thoroughly enjoy our trips together. Recently I have started letting Jimmy fish with some of my close circle so they can enjoy his company as well. He is a heck of a guy and is like fishing with the coolest grandpa anybody could ever ask for. He is 70+ and navigates a day of fishing better than most young bucks today! Me, Pops and Jimmy had a great day fishing with some decent sized trout and the evening before we got on a quick limit with Elizabeth for an added bonus! We are transitioning to the dog days of summer and the fishing is still good but hard to beat the heat!
The fishing the last few weeks has been really good. We've had some good days and some bad days but overall our fisheries remain healthy. I've been able to get some awesome people out lately and the weather has had its ups and downs but we still making ends meet!! Capt.

We went out and had ourselves a day. With a nice warm day in January we started out with air Temps in the 60s and water Temps rising to match, we just knew there would be some chances at a nice class of fish! Spencer had the hot hand to start the day off and once we dropped him off after lunch me and Thomas were finally able to get a shot. Ended strong with a 29 and 24! We released all the big girls and several 20"+ to go along with. There's going to be some phenomenal fishing to come in ot next 2 months! Don't miss out get on the books today!Capt. Zachery Bland
Yesterday, we had a great time fishing on the lake! We persevered and managed to reel in some impressive catches. Special thanks to Dan Bland for choosing to fish with me – I'm thrilled that you and your group had a fantastic trout fishing experience! As we look ahead, there are available dates in December for those interested in joining an exciting trout expedition. Don't miss out on the opportunity for a memorable fishing adventure!
We spent a beautiful morning out fishing on the Pamlico! A good variety of species and a few quality fish as well! The fishing was hot and so was the heat! Still a few days left to get in on some summer time trout fishing!
Doc Stewart called me and said he wanted to go out and catch some trout! Needless too say his buddy earned a new nickname, Topwater Tommy! Good fishing and great weather! Fishing is still good get out while you can!!
Me and the boys went out this morning anticipating some wind but not as much as we bargained for! When the plans for trout fishing just didn't work out we decided to beat the banks looking something too catch. It seems the flounder population is coming along well thanks to the regulations helping protect our fisheries! Fishing is good but it's getting HOT!
