Capt. Marty's Outer Banks Fishing Report & Stories

Lots to talk about in today's report. A gold star catch, tournament talk and lots more going on!!

It's finally Friday!!! We are about to kick off the Big Rock this weekend down in Morehead City and I know a lot of folks are excited about that. But let's talk about what's going on around here (there's A LOT) and what the weekend looks like in this report.

Happy June 4th, for whatever that's worth haha. Again not a whole lot to talk about in this report but I will tell you what has been biting and what will likely continue to bite once the lines go back in the water. Like Capt. Omie Tillett use to say "Even the fish need a day off too"!

We had a good, stiff breeze yesterday out of the northeast which put a damper on the fishing but I will be giving you a recap of the spring so far and a look at what's to come in this report.

The squalls and the rain that came through put a slight damper on the fishing BUT there was still fishing that took place none the less! I'll let you know where and what was caught in this report.

Happy June!! Had a pretty good weekend of fishing even with the wind shift late Saturday and into Sunday. I'll tell you all about what was caught on all fishing fronts from the weekend in this report.

LOTS to talk about in this show. From how to book a charter and the many tournaments the captain is involved in, to Dare Day Dockside at Wanchese Marina, the Battle Scarred Outdoors Heroes Benefit Fishing Tournament and recognizing the many sponsors of Capt. Marty programing we have a jam packed show full of GREAT information. 

Lots to talk about in this report of some really good fishing!! The weather laid out yesterday and the fleets were able to get out. Wasn't many places yesterday that the fish weren't biting! I'll get you up to speed with everything and take a look at the weekend as well.  Also, GO HURRICANES (our home state NHL Hockey team, that is)!!!

We are about done with May and its been a good fishing month. A tad breezy yesterday but there was still fish being caught! I'll give you the rundown of all fishing fronts in this report. 

WOW!! We are almost done with May! That went by quick!! The theme for today's report is "Variety is the spice of life". You'll understand more what I mean about that in this report. By the way.. THANK YOU for all of you that take the time to listen everyday and thank you to the new folks that have found us! We appreciate you all!

I hope all of you enjoyed your Memorial Day holiday. First two days of the weekend were really good, then the wind kicked up on us a little bit. Still a lot to talk about. I'll get you up to speed from the weekend in this report. 

Wayyyy back in 1984 when Capt. Marty fished on the The Reelin he had a young rookie mate from California named Mike Pullin. One of Mike's first trips offshore with Capt. Marty was on a day when The Fishin' Frenzy (yes, the same one from Wicked Tuna), captained by Mike Clarkin at the time, experienced a tad bit of trouble offshore. It was Capt. Marty and Mate Mike Pullin to the rescue!! W...

It's like groundhog day yall!! Still the same great fishing we've been having. I'll run through the list of what was caught all over in this report.   I hope you all have a safe Memorial Day weekend and take the time to remember those who gave their lives for us to have the freedom we love and appreciate. 

One word to use when talking about the fishing lately: GREAT! Let's try to count how many times I use that word in today's report. I tried once already and I lost count haha!

Loving what has been going on so far in the month of May. So, again, LOTS to talk about in this report. I'm also gonna give you some things to think about when booking a boat to go fishing so listen up!

Lots to talk about in this fishing report. GREAT offshore fishing! Loving the direction we are going in right now and I pray things continue this way!

Kinda hit and miss offshore over the weekend, depending on where you were. It was either really a HIT or really a MISS. Near shore, beach and the piers seemed to be doing pretty good all over, and the back country is starting to pick up more and more. I'm gonna get you up to speed with it all plus talk a little bit about where I'll be this week, which is the Hatteras Village Offshore Ope...

Yesterday was pretty much a wash for the offshore fleet, but that's ok. Capt. Omie Tillett use to say "sometimes the fish need a day off too"! There was a little bit of action in other areas of the Outer Banks though. I'll get you up to speed with all that plus talk a little bit about something happening next week you may be interested in!

It's been hit and miss over the last few days on all fishing fronts, however we do have a new species in the mix! I'll tell you what that species is and what has been caught in this report.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!!! Hahaha I know "don't quit my day job". My day job though is getting yall up to speed with what's been caught here on our lovely Outer Banks. It was kinda hit and miss depending on where you were. I'll get you up to speed with that and give the final standings of the Ocracoke Surf Fishing Tournament in this report.

With Artemis II making headlines, Capt. Marty takes a trip back in time and shares what it was like to witness the historic Apollo 17 moon launch in 1972 while out fishing on the open ocean. He also recalls another unforgettable Apollo mission that left a lasting impression. In this episode, Capt. Marty reflects on those incredible moments and the memories he still carries with him today. 

We've made it to May! Kind of hit and miss offshore but the nearshore, surf and pier bite made up for it with good catches and some new species for the year to report on. I'll get you up to speed with all of that, the back country fishing bite and what's going on with the Ocracoke Surf Fishing Tournament.
