I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving week! Fishing is still great up and down the Outer Banks. Listen to find out the latest.Outer Banks This Week

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, Capt. Marty tells us a story about how one year he decided to butcher his own turkeys for Thanksgiving. His mother, having had done something similar to this in her past, tried to coach him through how to properly execute the plan. Well... we'll just let the captain tell you how it all turned out!…

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…

The wind FINALLY laid down and boat fishing was able to resume. Got your offshore and near shore report as well as in the sounds, BUT I HAVE BREAKING NEWS IN THE SURF!!!! Justin and my ol' pal Deckhand Don will like what I have to say for sure!Outer Banks This Week

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. Side note: Remember yall, it's always good to file a float plan before you go fishing out in a boat. It's important for your wives, your girlfriends or both to have …

In this story Capt. Marty talks about a deer hunting trip his buddy Capt. Dave Radke took out around Edenton, NC and what happened when he left his stand to go get a breakfast biscuit. What happens in the drive thru is interesting to say the least!Outer Banks This Week

Hello Everybody!! My name is Deckhand Don! I'm filling in for Capt. Marty today as he takes a little break to go sit in the woods and find him some meat for the freezer! I got your fishing reports as well as a way to cook up some puppy drum that will make your mouth water! Thank you for listening!Outer Banks This Week

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!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.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…

In this story from Capt. Marty's youth, he tells us of "The Cat Woman" that lives in the lighthouse down by Ponce Inlet, FL and how he and friend were going to see her... or so they thought!!Outer Banks This Week

Got your full fishing report from yesterday, your weekend outlook plus a great recipe for how to cook bluefish (don't turn your nose up at me, I see you!!)!!Outer Banks This Week

Sorry for the late post! Daggum internet issues!Outer Banks This Week

Tune in to hear the latest fishing up and down the Outer Banks: offshore, nearshore, piers, and sound fisheries.Outer Banks This Week

A pretty solid fishing report from the weekend. Seemed as if there was a mixed bag on all fishing fronts. I have the results of the Nags Head Surf Fishing Tournament in this report from last week. 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!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! Sounds are still producing as well and the shrimping season has been phenomenal for the third year in a row! Looking forward to this weekend because its opening day for white tail deer gun season!…

LOTS to cover in todays report from the fishing and hunting side of things!!Outer Banks This Week

The winds are slowing things down some because a lot of the boats can't get out, but the fish don't care about that! Here's the latest from the fishing front!Outer Banks This Week

Pretty good weekend of fishing, especially in the sounds. It looks as if some cooler weather will be moving in this evening so that could make things a tad better! Gonna talk a little hunting in this report too!Outer Banks This Week

In another one of his stories involving first aid, Capt. Marty talks about the day a white marlin caused him to get a hook stuck in his knee while mating on the Sundancer with Capt. Nevin Wescott. Capt. Nevin didn't want to steam in to the dock for Marty so he radioed for assistance, and assistance sure did show up!…

Still a bit breezy for the boats to get offshore (at least the boats I talked to didn't go) but the piers and back country guys/gals still had some action!Outer Banks This Week

Let us continue to keep our friends effected by Helene in our thoughts and prayers. Fishing was great yesterday for the pier/surf and sounds. No one got offshore yesterday, but when they do its going to be great out there! I have some exciting news to announce in this report too!Outer Banks This Week

Fishing didn't change much over the last few days. This wind shift should help to boost things for us in a variety of ways.Outer Banks This Week

It's the first day of October and we are in the meat! That means the meat fish are plentiful!! The wind should be switching out of the north-northeast this evening so that may change a few things, but I believe for the better!Outer Banks This Week

Please remember our friends on the western side of the state. They have experienced devastation. Keep them in your prayers. Fishing was pretty daggum decent over the weekend. Little hotter than usual but that is going to change sometime this week.Outer Banks This Week

Fishing has been relatively good over the last few days offshore, near shore and in the sounds. Shrimping seems to be very hot lately too! The weekend looks nice but next week could be a tad different!!Outer Banks This Week

The storm is coming but fishing is still great! Listen to the latest report to find out what is biting where.Outer Banks This Week

So far so good this week on the fishing front but we have to keep our eyes on the weather with the storm that will be impacting the gulf over the next few days. What does that have to do with us? I'll explain...Outer Banks This Week

Lots of great fishing is happening up and down the Outer Banks! Offshore, nearshore, pier and sound. Catch up on the latest.Outer Banks This Week

Great weekend of fishing all over! Everyone is back in the meat and it is a beautiful thing! Fall fishing is some of the best fishing in my opinion!Outer Banks This Week

Fishing has gotten back to the normal fall routine!! Great catches in all areas and the weekend may not be too shabby either!Outer Banks This Week

Fishing returned to the fall norm yesterday after all the windy and wet weather we just had.... but will it stay that way? That is the question leading into more uncertain weather conditions in the days and weeks ahead!Outer Banks This Week

Two words: Gully Washer! That's what we had yesterday. Some pier and surf fishing took place but not much else! I do have a fun fact in today's report that you may or may not have known! It pertains to something we have the most of in Northeast North Carolina...Outer Banks This Week

The storm is keeping offshore fishing to a halt but there is still fish to catch. Listen and I'll tell you where to find them.Outer Banks This Week

The wind kept the offshore fleet in but it apPIERs as if the pier fishing was pretty good, with a quick shoutout to the Avon pier! Yum Yum, get the DRUM!!Outer Banks This Week

Seems like we are marching to the beat of the same drum these days!! Operative word there being DRUM! Fish being caught all over, but its DRUM that has everyone talking right now!Outer Banks This Week
