  Speaker 1: Okay, like we always start out with the offshore fishing, the guy's had it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It was rough yesterday, sunday.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They had to pick the way across the bars A lot of rain on the southern end a little bit kind of gloomy, but they came up with a few fish.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: A down in Hatteras charter boat Sunday they found some blackfin tuna and they worked for those and some false albacore.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Did not hear of anything in the area down that way about any bluefin tuna, as I did hear.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: David Daniels and others found some bluefin tuna's up off Oregon Island after picking the way across the bar and slowly working the way out to the Gulf Stream.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They were 100 inch bluefin tunas.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Now I was told the other day that a 73 inch bluefin tuna is a 200 pounder.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm guessing a 100 inch bluefin tuna is probably a 400 pounder.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And they did have a few yellowfin in the catches as well.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But it's not red hot tuna fishing right now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Those guys had to work for it and they had to bounce around a lot to catch this fish.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: There is some very good bottom fishing going on for sea bass.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Most of that's much closer to shore.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's one of the finest eating fish that swim in the ocean a black sea bass and some of those knot heads are going upwards of four pounds when they're catching those.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So that pretty much is it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Offshore Surfishin not much going on.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Water temperatures on the south beaches are 64 degrees, on the north beaches 47 degrees, and mostly just junk skates and sharks and really very few reports from anything there.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The best of our fishing is in shore, where we have a great speckled trout bite and they're getting bigger.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind that most of these speckled trout are in the ditches and slews and one of the reasons I bring that up because I had a friend that was fishing.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They caught some speckled trout and some largemouth bass on the same lure in the same creek.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: So some of that stuff is kind of blending together the saltwater species with the freshwater species.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You also in that freshwater area further up into those estuaries, some bass, some crappies, some yellow perch, a few white perch and some brim.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So you got all that going on and back out in the sound there is a good amount of puppy drum.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: They seem to be a little bit further down the sound, like back in Hatteras and Okra Coke, but they're there as well.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So as you can see, we had quite a bit going on.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: For the weekend this week the table is set and every week from here on out it's going to do nothing but get better and better.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: For that reason it's a very good time to book your boat.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: If you're looking for a Saturday or a prime day during the tuna season.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You need to get your group together and make a book.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And remember, when you gather up a deposit to book a boat, make sure that everybody that's going on that trip has put in on that deposit.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I've seen people before that say, oh, I got to out cover the deposit and then the rest of the group backs out for a million reasons why, especially if the weather is a little questionable and the person that put up the deposit is subject to lose all of it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So if you're going to book a boat, make sure you get everybody in on the deal together on the deposit.
• 4:18
