Trip Summary

It had been a long time since I posted, but trust me we had an excellent summer and fall in 2018. Since my last post, the excellent inshore red drum fishing continued into August when we left the coastal waters for the Neuse River Giant red drum fishing. That was great fishing up until Hurricane Florence.... Man, right before the storm we had an epic bite! Once things started to get back to normal, we ventured back out and had a little bit more giant red drum fishing, then turned our sights back to the coast where the albie fishing was good at times and hit or miss other times. King mackerel, Spanish mackerel and bluefish were also thick nearshore and speckled trout and red drum fishing were great inshore. Right now we are experiencing an awesome nearshore bite with Atlantic Bonito, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, king mackerel and gray trout showing up in numbers! Come get some!!!

2019 Recap and 2020 So Far
2019 Recap and 2020 So Far
Febrero 27, 2020
2019... Wow, what a year! I want to thank everyone that fished with BHGS in 2019 for making it another great year and allowing me to do what I love for a living. The clients I have and the relationships I am able to develop on the boat with my customers is why I keep grinding out there on the tough days. I truly cannot complain! Since the last time I posted in July, we had our old drum fishing season, fall fishing at Cape Lookout and a ridiculous Speckled trout bite that has lasted through the winter and is still producing consistently. Old drum fishing on the Neuse river was awesome this year, with the exception of a couple very slow weeks in the middle of August between the first and second wave of fish. We turned our attention to other fish like speckled trout and back to the slot redfish that we love. We also experienced some grinders out there popping corks and throwing swim baits in search of the second wave of old drum, which we had to be patient for. The last two weeks of August saw a big change and the old drum bite on lures got hot and heavy as it should be and we had many great days even right after Hurricane Dorian and on until the beginning of October. When I returned to Beaufort for the fall fishing season, the slot redfish were right where we left them in August, the speckled trout had begun to make a strong showing in their fall locations and the false albacore were putting on a show. About half of my fishing effort in the fall was along the beaches chasing Albies and even getting after the ocean Old drum, which were around this fall and winter in better numbers than average years. The other half of our efforts were after the speckled trout which have been the stars of the show this fall and winter. **hidden content** has been the best trout fishing I have seen in my fishing career and I am honestly getting tired of eating trout HAHA... Wish we always had that problem. Anyways, enjoy a few highlights from the latter half of 2019 and please consider booking a trip for 2020, we would love to have you!
