Happy New Year!! I hope you were able to ring in 2025 happily and healthy!! Fishing is still taking place on all fronts. A different variety in a few spots so listen to hear more about that. Also a BIG waterfowl event taking place over in Hyde County coming up at the end of the month. I have more information about that in this report as well!…

I hope each of you had a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah or whatever else you may celebrate this time of year! The fishing was pretty much non-existent offshore (mainly due to lack of effort), and that raises a question... I wonder what the fish think when they don't hear or see any boats out there...? Just a thought I had.. Anywho, the trout bit…

Breezy weekend kept a lot of boats in but there are still fish to be caught. Listen and I'll tell you where! I'll be back with a week wrap up on Friday 12/27. I want each of you to have a very Merry Christmas!! Thank you for listening to my reports and my stories!Bởi Outer Banks This Week

Fishing still kinda hit and miss offshore but if you go back in the Pamlico Sound... SHEWWWWWEEEEEEEE!!!! The speckle trout are on FIRE!!! Listen and you know what is going on!

In another Christmas story, Capt. Marty decides he's going to get his daughters a horse for Christmas. He was very excited to do it for them, but they were MORE excited to give him his gift. What they got him wasn't exactly what he expected to get!!Bởi Outer Banks This Week

One word to describe offshore fishing right now: BLUEFIN. Yes, they are beginning to show up! I'll talk more about it as well as the nearshore and backcountry sound fishing in today's report.

My goodness is it COLD and WINDY! This hasn't played much into our favor but there are still fish to be caught! Don't forget tomorrow morning a new story is coming out on my channel. I'm calling it "Bad Santa, Part 1". It's quite comical and, again, it comes out tomorrow morning at 7am.Bởi Outer Banks This Week

The wind and the cold hasn't helped us out too much on the offshore side of things but the surf is still doing ok and the sounds are pretty good too!! A gold start catch happened in the sound actually! I got a pretty funny joke at the end of my report that you won't want to miss and more in this midweek report!…

I hope yall had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday! I got your fishing report (and hunting report) from the end of last week and through the weekend. We wrapped up November fairly well and December isn't looking too shabby either!Bởi Outer Banks This Week

Got a tad breezy again over the last few days so the offshore boats didn't quite make it out but I'll go over what they've been catching and let you know what's been going on in the surf, off the piers and back in the sounds. Keep in mind I have a new story coming out tomorrow called "Not Your Average Butterball" about my one-time trying to butcher…

A tad slow offshore but the surf made up for it! Western sounds still having quite a bit of action too! Gonna talk all about this plus how the local black bear hunting is going so far.

Kind of the same as yesterday in the way that there wasn't a variety of species of fish but the ones that were around there were good catches of! Also in this report, a tip on anchoring your boat to the bottom while out fishing!Bởi Outer Banks This Week

Let's see... not very much to report on species wise, but what I do have to report on is in abundance. Does that make sense? All fronts still pretty solid as we continue to push our way into late October.Bởi Outer Banks This Week

Fishing still pretty daggum solid on just about all fronts. Not too many charter boats running at the moment so offshore it's been tough to get a report but I know what they've been catching. Also don't forget about the deer and duck guides that are also charter captains that would love to take you out in the woods or in the marsh as well. I'll tal…

Looks like we have a cool front moving through later this evening so that's going to shake things up a bit on the fishing front and for you hunters out t…

It's October and our dear friend Capt. Marty has a few ghosts stories on the horizon, like this one from his friend Roy. Roy tells a story from his tugboat days having to dock in a port that had a long jetty that ran out into the ocean. Roy's friend Fred would stand out on the point of that jetty with a lantern on dark, foggy nights to help guide t…

Offshore fishing has come to a little bit of a halt lately with the breezy conditions we've been experiencing, however the surf, piers and back country fisheries are doing just fine! I have the latest from the Nags Head Surf Fishing Tournament to report on as well!Bởi Outer Banks This Week

Offshore has been tough with the wind but it seems as if the beach and pier fishing hasn't been affected too much by it!
