4-24-12 Cobia Time

Well is late April and it is cobia time. There have been a few boated and a reports of a few seen so that means we are only days away from some of my favorite type of fishing. Most of the fish we will land will be site fishing but live baiting and anchoring while chumming also is super effective. I will be offering 6-7hr. cobia trips for 3 anglers for  $450 dollars. If you have never caught one of these brutes they are amazing fighters and even more amazing table fare. Days are booking fast so give me a call at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com

4-14-12 Inshore fishing is epic

The Redfish bite has been about as good as I have ever seen it. We have been dealing with some cooler windy conditions but during the better weather conditions the bite has been awesome. Topwaters, Gulps on jigheads, Natural baits on Carolina rigs, and spinnerbaits have been doing the most damage. We have been finding big schools of fish in the marshes behind Bear and Browns islands, Emerald Isle and in the White Oak River. Most of these fish have been ranging from 22"-28". This action should only continue through the summer.

The flounder have started to show up here in the channels near the inlets. There are quite a few short fish with some good 1lb-3lb fish mixed in. Gulps on jigheads have been our go to baits for the flatfish.

The trout bite has cooled a bit lots of short fish but not to much to speak of. The Sea Mullet are slowly making a showing along the beach fronts and it should only be a matter of time before they work their way inside. There are also tons of blue fish in the 1lb.-2lb. range in all the channels and creeks along the crystal coast. I have heard of a couple Hatteras blues along Bogue banks. There are Pogies crusing the Surf Zone so that means the COBIA!!!! should not be to far behind. I certainly hope this year will be as good as the last two.

So if you are in the Crystal Coast are book your Fishing Charter call Capt. Robert Hall at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com

Mom and Dads anniversiary

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with my parents this past week. It was thier 33rd anniversiary and we spent the afternoon doing a little site seeing and enjoying a nice late lunch in downtown Swansboro. Of course we had to check a few drum holes and we were able to wrap the afternoon up with some nice reds. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful parents.

Sept. 13 Fishing Report

The Red Drum (redfish) bite remains the best right now. We are still finding all sizes of fish in the marshes behind the barrier islands. We are landing the fish on topwaters, spinnerbaits, and live baits. We have also been finding a few nice flounders inside around the areas that are holding reds. Live baits on carolina rigs and scented soft plastics will usually get the job done on the flatfish. The good news is speckled trout have started to heat up as well. We have caught a few right here in the Swansboro area and I have heard some good reports from the Neuse and New rivers. Most fish have been caught on live shrimp and mullets but your favorite mirrolure or grub should get the job done also.

The spanish bite outside has still been pretty steady with lots of action from 2-6lb fish. There are some kings in the mix but the king bite reamins a bit slow. It should fire up as we work our way into the month of October.

The fishing is hot so book you Emerald Isle fishing charters with Hall'em In Charters. Call Capt. Robert Hall at (910)330-6999 or email: hallemincharters@yahoo.com
