Island Girl Charters offers a variety of charter fishing
excursions available year round for both exciting and
rewarding adventures. Whether you target a specific time of
year, a particular species at it's peak or planning a fishing
charter along with your family vacation to Morehead City,
Atlantic Beach, the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, Island
Girl Charters can take you there. Let me wet your fishing
appetite by telling you what awaits you off our beautiful coast
throughout the year. In the spring, beginning in mid-March through
mid-May, yellow fin tuna are being caught in good numbers. The Gulf Stream, which
usually takes us about an hour and a half to get to, yields good catches of highly sought
after species. As we get in April big bull dolphin,
weighing upward of 50 pounds are showing up, along with
wahoo and king mackerel. Also showing up about this time
are prize game fish such as blue marlin, white marlin and
sail fish. Morehead City host one of the areas biggest blue
marlin tournaments in the middle of June, with the winning
purse close to a million dollars. This tournament lures big
game anglers from all over the east coast. As summer
approaches, the Yellow fin slow down in numbers, but
increase in size, averaging 60-90 lbs. each. The dolphin size also goes down, but when we
find floating debris or a good weed line, we will frequently find large schools and catch
our limit of 60 per day. We can do this with just light tackle
in just an hour or so. Wahoo and king usually fill the fish
box as well. As fall approaches, and the water begins to cool
down, we start catching the big king mackerels 30 to 50 lbs.
These are usually caught using live bait and 20 lb tackle.
By then, the yellow fin and wahoo are jumping out of the
water saying "pick me, pick me". September and October
yields some of the best wahoo fishing there is. Good fishing
usually last through November. By December, the "big"
boys are showing up. By this I mean the highly sought after
blue fin tuna. These spectacular fish average 200 to 300 lbs.
With a number of the weighing up to 700 lbs. If you are up for
one of the most unforgettable adventures of your life, book a
charter during this time of year to try your skills at landing
one of these massive giants. Blue fin fishing usually from
December into February. For those who want to stay closer to
the beach, Island Girl Charters offers 5 to 8 hour charters for
Spainish and Kings. In December and January, big striper or rock fish start striking
around the shoals and shore line. Most of these are in the 30 to 50 lb. range. In the early
spring, we catching our limits of blue fish around the inlets and beach. When the water
warms to around 70 degrees, the Spanish Mackerel are plentiful. Good Spanish fishing
last well into October. King Mackerel fishing along the beach is usually best in the fall as
well. For those who's passion is fly fishing, the Albacore tuna start showing in
September. Island Girl Charters also offers a center console boat for fly fishing and light
tackle fishing for albacore, flounder and trout. Give me a call and i'll steer you to what
you want to catch and help you with what is usually being caught when you want to make
your fishing day.
