  Speaker 1: Okay, let's get down to business, or business Offshore fishing breezed up here towards the end of the week a little bit and that kind of shut down things offshore.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But we've been having some great tuna fishing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The blue fins are still out there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I would have to say one of the best blue fin seasons we've had in a long time.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Lengthy, consistent, big fish.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Some of the giant blue fin are still out there.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: That season is closed but under 73 inches you can keep one.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's about a 200 pounder.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You can keep, I think, one of those a day on a charter boat or on a recreational boat.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But they're rounding out some catches with some early yellowfin tuna, not boatloads of them, but seven or eight on the dock Fresh yellowfin.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine how good that would be on the grill this evening?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So if you want to go out and catch a once in a lifetime big tuna, maybe a few yellowfin tunas, but you can do that out of Hatteras or Oregon Inlet, both places that's a big, wide place to fish and actually for all of the bluefin season they've been ranging from down around Riceville Beach all the way up to Rudy Inlet.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So it's fantastic the weather for the weekend.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: As far as I mentioned, they got blown out a little bit this week, but today we're looking at Eastwinds 10 to 15.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And then they're going to ease around to South-South East at 10 to 15.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And you know what that means.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: South-south Eastwind.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Around here is rain.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We got some rain coming in but the fish are already wet so you don't have to worry about that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And then the wind it looks like it's going to come around out of the Southwest, which is a great wind on Sunday.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So that's all pretty good for the offshore forecast.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: As far as them getting out there Back in the sound, we have two things going on.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The speckled trout bite is good, but you got to be flexible and be willing to move and try some spots.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine had a tailgate covered in speckled trout the other day.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Really, him and a couple of other guys had great fishing, but they went right back to the same place the very next day and didn't even have a bite.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So you got to be willing to try.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Other Swasse's fish are moving around and you got to.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: When you find a color that works good in your lure selection, if you don't get a bite on it, change it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: The fish are very picky right now for the colors and the things that they want.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So remember that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Also back a Hatteras a good showing of some puppy drum down that way.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You know I had some of those for dinner last night.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Really good, right up flayed skin, just really delicious in the slot size puppy drum.
• 3:36

• 3:38
