We have been catching some giant redfish, slot and overslot redfish, speckled trout and flounder in our adventures mostly on the Neuse river and a couple afternoons I’ve spent at the coast fishing the flats.

We have been catching a lot of slot and overslot redfish and nice trout on topwater on the flats all summer. Now we are starting to trasition to the Neuse river for the Giant redfish season through september. We have started to catch them already, although the bite is still not that consistent yet. We are catching plenty of trout, slot reds and stripers to fill the voids and even some flounder. Book your giant redfish trip now and dont forget anout our awesome fall trout and false albacore bite at the coast!

2019... Wow, what a year! I want to thank everyone that fished with BHGS in 2019 for making it another great year and allowing me to do what I love for a living. The clients I have and the relationships I am able to develop on the boat with my customers is why I keep grinding out there on the tough days. I truly cannot complain! Since the last time I posted in July, we had our old drum fishing season, fall fishing at Cape Lookout and a ridiculous Speckled trout bite that has lasted through the winter and is still producing consistently. Old drum fishing on the Neuse river was awesome this year, with the exception of a couple very slow weeks in the middle of August between the first and second wave of fish. We turned our attention to other fish like speckled trout and back to the slot redfish that we love. We also experienced some grinders out there popping corks and throwing swim baits in search of the second wave of old drum, which we had to be patient for. The last two weeks of August saw a big change and the old drum bite on lures got hot and heavy as it should be and we had many great days even right after Hurricane Dorian and on until the beginning of October. When I returned to Beaufort for the fall fishing season, the slot redfish were right where we left them in August, the speckled trout had begun to make a strong showing in their fall locations and the false albacore were putting on a show. About half of my fishing effort in the fall was along the beaches chasing Albies and even getting after the ocean Old drum, which were around this fall and winter in better numbers than average years. The other half of our efforts were after the speckled trout which have been the stars of the show this fall and winter. **hidden content** has been the best trout fishing I have seen in my fishing career and I am honestly getting tired of eating trout HAHA... Wish we always had that problem. Anyways, enjoy a few highlights from the latter half of 2019 and please consider booking a trip for 2020, we would love to have you!

So much fishing, so little time to post! Redfish and big speckled trout on topwater lures! Some days the fishing is red hot sometimes you have to work at it, but fishing the flats with topwaters, gold spoons, chatterbaits and spinner baits has produced some awesome redfish and some big trout particularly on topwater plugs while redfishing. Bluefish on topwater plugs, Spanish mackerel casting and sharks have provided excitement on family and kid trips or for people that just want action and don't care about the glory of redfish! Come see what it's all about in Beaufort, NC a hop skip and a jump from Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle and Cape Lookout National Seashore! Capt. Will

It had been a long time since I posted, but trust me we had an excellent summer and fall in 2018. Since my last post, the excellent inshore red drum fishing continued into August when we left the coastal waters for the Neuse River Giant red drum fishing. That was great fishing up until Hurricane Florence.... Man, right before the storm we had an epic bite! Once things started to get back to normal, we ventured back out and had a little bit more giant red drum fishing, then turned our sights back to the coast where the albie fishing was good at times and hit or miss other times. King mackerel, Spanish mackerel and bluefish were also thick nearshore and speckled trout and red drum fishing were great inshore. Right now we are experiencing an awesome nearshore bite with Atlantic Bonito, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, king mackerel and gray trout showing up in numbers! Come get some!!!

On the nice calm days, we are getting out offshore after throwing the net and loading up with live bait. The king and big Spanish mackerel are biting well and providing plenty of excitement. Every now and then, you get a shot at a cobia swimming by! Inshore, the redfish action on topwater is great. Such a visual fun fishery. The sharks are big and plentiful on the lower tides we can chum and float out some live menhaden and get explosive surface strikes and when you are lucky enough to get a spinner shark on, they will even give you an aerial show! Landing them is a different story. Just off the beach, the bluefish and Spanish mackerel action is super fun, casting flies and light jigs to the Spaniards and topwaters to the bluefish is great action! Come see what the Cape Lookout inshore/nearshore action is all about!
