Surf fishing continues to be fair with bluefish, puppy drum, trout, flounder, and an occasional big red drum all being caught on fresh mullet. There are also still some bottom duellers still around. Bait up with bloodworms and you should produce some nice sea mullet and spot. Inshore charters have been very good lately. I fished around the inlet Saturday and had a limit of nice 2-3 pound blues within an hour. We then pushed off the beach a couple miles and caught all the albacore you wanted. Our intermediate trips have had awesome king mackerel fishing catching limits inside the 102 degree tower. The tuna made a little better showing yesterday. We managed to catch 6, but we had to work very hard at it. We need some cold weather or the tunas and stripers may never show up. We have started our "FALL SALE" at Sharky's. Come on in and check out the awesome deals like a Ten Foot Five Star Tsunami Spinning Combo for only $39.99. We have a huge selection of Berkly Gulps for the trout fisherman, and we now have the new Tsunami Air Wave rods in stock. These rods have a high fiber density blank construction witch make them super light and strong. The water temp at the Duck Pier is 71.4, and high tide is at 6:10pm.

Good Luck,

Chris at Sharky's
