North Carolina's Coastal Waters

Cape Hatteras is the closest fishing to the Gulf Stream for Blue Fin, Yellow Fin, Marlin. In the spring Yellow Fin fishing is at its best only twenty miles offshore. Followed by a summer fishery of Dolphin, Blue Marlin, and Wahoo. In the winter season Giant Blue Fin Tuna migrate to the inshore wrecks and provide a world renowned fishery.

Whether fishing the famous "Point", "280 Rocks", or "The Rock Pile", the North Carolina fishery is world class!

Virginia's Coastal Waters

With the Labrador and Gulf Stream currents moving in opposite directions across Virginia's continental slope, these offshore waters contain some of the most productive fishing grounds on the east coast. Dead bait trolling is the routine approach used since it is not species specific. Everything from dolphin (not porpoise) and tuna to 1,000 pound blue marlin can be captured with the same baits.

In early May, Blue Fin begin congregating close to the Virginia/North Carolina border. By mid-June, these 30 to 70 pound fish have settled in some of the best fishing hot spots directly off southern Virginia's coast. Fishing is very good through autumn.

By mid-July, you can enjoy fishing for white marlin, dolphin, and wahoo. Large numbers of white marlin congregate on the ocean "lumps" southeast of Virginia Beach and in canyons farther offshore. White marlin fishing holds through September. Fishing for yellow fin tuna is strong in both spring and fall. There is always a chance of catching a blue marlin.
