Warm Winter Trout

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

Thrilling Day Catch

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!

Pamlico fishing

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!

Fishing with Doc Steward

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!!

Unplanned flounder escapade

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!
