Capt'n Hook Outdoors

The
fishing is red hot right now to say the least. In the Backwater, we are seeing great numbers of redfish, and speckled trout with a few flounder and black drum mixed in. The redfish bite has been steady around oyster rocks, docks, and grass lines in the Backwater. The flounder are starting to show up on the nearshore reefs, mainly in the 15-20 inch range. Trout and reds are feeding on live shrimp which is always the hot bait when you can get your hands on them.

offshore, there are lots of king mackerel in the 10-15 pound range around live bottom, and wrecks. We are also seeing quite a few cobia around the nearshore wrecks, and live bottom further offshore. Although we are approaching the end of the cobia run, there are still quite a few out there! Call 910-540-7332 to book your Holden Beach fishing charter!

Ran a double yesterday, and found some very nice fish. The first half of the day consisted of a very nice school of red fish, with some overslots, and lots of short flounder. The second half found a very nice keeper flounder, a speckled trout, and some blues. All the rain we have had the past few days has changed things up, but we are still finding some great fish!

Had a couple of hours of good weather yesterday and decided to take adavantage of it. Took the flats boat In the 5-10 mile range in search of a cobia. After only 2 hours of fishing, we boated 4 cobia with the biggest in the 40 pound range. We will be catching these for the next few weeks on 4, 6, and 8 hour trips. After the wind started blowing, we came in the inlet, and found a few upper slot redfish. Give us a call at 910-540-7332 to book your Holden Beach Fishing Charter!

Due to terrible weather this weekend and this trying to be a family oriented event, The Capt’n Hook Backwater Bash will be held Saturday, June 23 out of Inlet View.

Marvelous May is living up to its name! We are seeing great numbers of fish, both offshore and inshore. Last week, we ran out to the break, and caught some nice Mahi Mahi and grouper. The kings are also on fire nearshore. Soon we should see more cobia show up along the beaches. Yesterday, I ran a 4 hour Backwater, and we stayed busy all morning catching very nice redfish, keeper flounder, black drum, and bluefish.

Had an awesome full day action packed trip with friends. Caught flounder and redfish all day. Moved around and did a little exploring along the way and we were not disappointed. The gulf stream is red hot right now, give us a call 910-540-7332 and we can make it happen!

I had an opportunity to run out last night with only about an hour to fish. Stripper minnows did the trick, 3 reds were released to see another day.

I ran a couple of trips over the weekend, and caught some very nice flounder and redfish. The water is heating up to the high 60s and rapidly rising. Large striper minnows have showed up on the sandbars at low tide and those are they key to getting bigger flounder and redfish to bite. On the other hand, its a shock how many spots are in our waters right now. It has been a cold spring until the past week, and that has turned all kinds of fish on. The gulf stream fishing is also heating up with water temps around 75 in the Steeples area. The next couple of weeks should start to improve both inshore and offshore!

Had the pleasure of guiding Larry, Dale, and Abbie for a half day inshore trip. Redfish and Black Drum were the deal today! We caught 4 keeper Black Drum, a few throwbacks, a beautiful just under-slot red,  quite a few croakers and even some spots. Had a great time and look forward to seeing them again!
