Spotted Weakfish & Blues: Inshore Action in Oriental NC

Hot bite and happy crew! I took Kip out for a fantastic summer day of inshore fishing with Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters in Oriental NC. We set off early in the morning under partly cloudy skies, perfect conditions for our adventure on the Pamlico Sound. The water was inviting as we left from 301 Midyette St, ready to target some of the area's prized catches. Despite a forecast of afternoon rain, we were determined to make the most of our time on the water with Pamlico Pirate Fishing Charters.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business, employing a mix of bottom fishing, live bait fishing, and trolling techniques. These methods proved effective as we worked the inshore waters. Our efforts paid off when Kip landed a impressive 19-inch Spotted Weakfish, a great catch that really got our momentum going. As we continued to work the area, we also managed to boat a solid 15-inch Bluefish, adding some variety to our day. The combination of techniques we used allowed us to adapt to the fish's behavior and maximize our chances of success throughout the trip.

While we didn't land any trophy bull reds or tarpon this time, the Spotted Weakfish and Bluefish provided plenty of action to keep us engaged. As the clouds started to build later in the day, signaling the approach of the forecasted rain, we wrapped up our fishing with smiles all around. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding on these waters – you never know what you might catch, but you're always in for a good time.
