• 1:27
  Speaker 1: We had a little bit better weather yesterday, with less rain.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Today we're going to have the rain return.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Pretty good, that ruins it for the fishermen somewhat, but the fish don't really care as long as it's not associated with heavy seas or strong currents.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So that's something you're going to have to deal with.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's been pretty quiet on the offshore fishing since Sunday.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That was the last day.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We had a few boats.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: They got offshore Oregon Inlet and they caught a few Yellowfin Tuning and they're continuing to fish for Bluefin tuna up to and over 500 pounds.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good, but that's about it.

  Speaker 1: It seems to be more Yellowfin tuna and Bluefin tuna.

• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm encouraged by that especially.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: This weather will continue to warm up, but really doesn't matter what the air temperature is.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The water temperature is what makes all the difference.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So let's get to what is good fishing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That's our inshore report.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Back in the sound, we're having some great fishing for Speckled Trout and Puppy Drum.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I know the Black Pearl was out of Hatteras Yesterday.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: They had a good catch of Puppy Drum.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: There are reportedly some pretty good schools of the slot size puppies back at Hatteras and Okacote.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: The Speckled Trout bite is good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: The sizes seem to be going up.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The numbers are up there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But again it's a little bit of a connoisseur's fishery.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Mostly, about 90% of it is done by boat, although there is a little bit of fishing done on the bridges and from the bank.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: They don't not go just because you don't have a boat.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Kayak guys, I haven't seen a whole lot out of them, but they'll pick away until they get on them in a ditch or a slew somewhere.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So I just am very encouraged by the start of the Speckled Trout season.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The tip I shared with you last week still stands Make sure if you're not getting a bite you don't assume the Trout or not.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They changed the color of what you're doing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: One friend of mine went and had a great day One day.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I mean a great day, went back to the same place the next day and never had a bite, but then he used the same color of grub tails.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So he switched colors and pretty soon he went to a complete opposite end of the color spectrum and pretty soon he was catching them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Good, so you gotta be on the move.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: These fish are moving right now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The ditches and slews up to where it gets into the brackish water is seen to, where a lot of the Speckled Trout are hanging out.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: There's also some rock fishing in the sound, but that season is not open to keep one.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You gotta let them go.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And on the freshwater front we have a little bit of everything going on.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: There's seems like each day there's a few more bass, meaning big mouth, large mouth bass.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: There's been some yellow perch, a few white perch, but all in all it's uh, it's the perch fishing A lot of the yellow perch, which I understand to be the same as I think of as a ratcheting perch.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So that's what's going on on the fish in front midweek.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on things and we'll keep you posted if anything changes.
