Fish We Catch:

Blue Marlin

The most established marlin fisheries are found along the eastern seaboard and the Gulf Coast of the US, The Bahamas and several other Caribbean Islands, Venzuela, Brazil and Bermuda. Because of their relative rarity, beauty and sporting qualities, marlin are considered one of the most prestigious catches a recreational fisherman can make. Males rarely exceed 350 lbs in weight and females commonly weigh over 1200 lbs. The body is blue-black on top with a silvery white underside. They can rapidly change color and usually appear bright blue when hunting. The bill is long and stout.

White Marlin

The White Marlin is smaller than many other billfish and are found in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a migratory fish that migrates within the seas only. The body is dark blue above and silvery white below, with brown spots on the sides of the white portion. The average White Marlin length is 110 in and maximum weight is approximately 180 lb. The most common range is from 51-83 inches in length.

Sailfish

The Atlantic sailfish is a metallic blue fish with a large sail-like dorsal fin, long and pointed bill. It is darker on the upperparts and lighter on the sides with bluish vertical bars along the flanks; the underparts are silvery white. Tests estimated that they were capable of short sprints of 37 to 55 kilometres per hour. Atlantic sailfish hunt schooling fishes, such as sardines, anchovies and mackerel although they also feed on crustaceans and cephalopods. The Atlantic Sailfish is related to the Marlin.

Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi)

Mahi-mahi are blue-water, open ocean, highly migratory schooling fish found in tropical and subtropical waters. They are swift and acrobatic game fish with striking colors being golden with irridescent greens and blues. Catches average 15-29 lb and any mahi-mahi over 40 lbs. is exceptional. Males are larger than females. They are also known as dorado or dolphin fish.

Big Eye Tuna

The bigeye tuna is an important food fish and highly sought after recreational game fish. In Hawaiian, it is one of two species known as ‘ahi; the other is yellowfin tuna. Bigeye tuna are found in the open waters of all tropical and temperate oceans, but not the Mediterranean Sea. Bigeye tuna vary up to 98 inches in length. Maximum weight probably exceeds 400 pounds with the all-tackle angling record standing at 392 pounds . They are large, deep-bodied, streamlined fish with large heads and eyes. The pectoral fins are very long. Bigeye tuna often spend prolonged periods diving deep below the surface during the daytime, sometimes as deep as 1,600 ft and have been tracked entering water as cold as 41 ° F.

Fishing Report:

Not much to report today. We had a lot of boats chartered to fish today but apparently Mother Nature didn't get the memo. The wind is so steady and strong it feels like a hair dryer set on cool setting. We did have one boat, and a brave group of anglers, give it a shot this morning. They were back at the dock before 9 am. Between the rain and 7-8 footers offshore, they decided it would be a better idea to come in. We've got a large number of boats heading out tommorow and through the weekend. I hope to have a lot to report in the next few days. One last point of interest. I was looking at the updated sea surface temps from Satellite imagery this morning. Because of the consistant south wind thats been blowing, warm water (71-73) has pushed up off of diamond shoals all the way up north to our vicinity. That should lead to the fishing really turning on for our inshore fleet. At least one of our inshore captains is heading out tomorrow specifically targeting Cobia because of the warm water pushing up here. We've got a really busy holiday weekend ahead but there is still some spots open inshore or offshore. Call us at 1-800-367-4728 or visit our website www.fishpiratescove.com to book your fishing trip!

I was a little skeptical about how fishable today would turn out. Winds were forecasted 15 to 20 due South. It turned out to be an outstanding fishing day. The first boat to report in was one Billfish short of a Billfish Grandslam. They had a Sailfish release and a White Marlin release. Everyone caught good numbers of Gaffer size Dolphin. Quite a few Yellowfin Tuna were caught too. One offshore boat bottom fished for Tile Fish and caught their limit. A Blue Marlin was also released today along with two other Sailfish releases. It's really good to see such good catches today despite it being a little choppy offshore today. Tonight winds are forecasted to increase slightly so we will see how things pan out. Looks like its going to be a beautiful holiday weekend based on the forecast. I truly hope it holds true, because we've got so many boats scheduled to fish this weekend. I've got a few boats still available and some Make up charters for small groups trying to get paired up. Visit us on our website www.fishpiratescove.com or call us at 1-800-537-4728 to book a charter. Inshore one boat fished this morning and did really well on Blues and some Spanish Mackerel. The water temps have started to elevate inshore and the fishing has started to really pick up as a result. There have been scattered reports of Cobia showing up just south of here. The spring migration of Cobia is one of the highlights of the year for the inshore fleet here. The World record Cobia was caught on an inshore charter out of Pirates cove just a few years back. It shouldn't be too long before they start showing up in our reports! A reminder to all those wishing to protect the life of their Outboards. We offer Ethanol free Gasoline here at the Marina. We open at 5 am now so stop by our fuel dock anytime after 5am to fuel up before fishing.

With the Offshore fishing being so good the last few weeks, one's expectations can get pretty high. Today was a little slower than the excitement of the last week. However, it was a pretty good day by most standards. Almost every boat caught Yellowfin Tuna and Dolphin. Some of the offshore boats decided to mix it up and do some bottom fishing after catching some Pelegics. They caught limits of Tiles and Black Sea Bass. There was a Blue Marlin Released today. We've been anticipating more Billfish releases or at least sightings in the spreads. A few were released last week. I hope to report a lot more in the coming week or so. If this year turns out anything like last year, we have alot to look forward too! Inshore continues to produce really outstanding catches of Speckled trout and decent catches of Puppy Drum when they can be located. In the Spring the Puppy Drum can be hit or miss. But if you can locate a school the fishing can be tremendous. Yesterday one of our Inshore boats decided to capitalize on the recent opening of the Black Sea Bass fishery. They came home with one of nicest catches of Sea Bass I can remember. Several were over 3 pounds and some in the 4 pound range. It looks like the recent long closure on that fishery is really going to pay off for our Nearshore guys. Black Sea Bass have to be in the top 3 best tasting fish in the sea and there price per pound certainly reflects that! Tight Lines........ Call us at 1-800-367-4728 to book a charter!

Today the weather was really sunny with winds out of the south 10 to 15. The first boat in was a near shore charter. He had been chomping at the bit ready to capitalize on the Black Sea Bass fishery after the long closure. They did extremely well limiting out with at least one 4 1/2 pound citation and several over 3 pounds. Looks like they'll be eating really good tonight! The offshore fleet had a really good day with limits of Gaffer dolphin on most boats along with Tilefish. Some really nice Yellowfin were caught as well. A Citation size Yellowfin weighing 78 pounds was the most exciting catch of the day. In the sound the Speckled Trout have really shown up in good numbers and the average fish is of a much better class than the year before. There have been some really good catches of Puppy Drum when they can be located. Weve been really blessed with the weather lately and if the forecast holds up the fishing should be really good throughout the week. Give us a call at 1-800-367-4728 or visit our website www.fishpiratescove.com to book your fishing trip.

5 boats went out and came back with a few limits of Tilefish, some nice sized Gaffer Dolphin and even some Yellowfin Tuna and a Grouper. There was a Blue Marlin swimming around too, but she must not have been too hungry! The weather is FINALLY playing nice, so why not get out in the ocean and enjoy it? Come in to the Ship's Store to book your trip today or call 252-473-3906/1-800-367-4728. You can also book online at www.fishpiratescove.com. Don't have a full party?

A mixed bag was reported today. Most of the boats did have a few nice Gaffer Dolphin along with limits of Tilefish. A few Yellowfin Tuna showed up today with up to four being reported. A very nice Grouper was landed today as well! In Near shore action the Sea Mullet and Bluefish were abundant. Give us a call to book your charter today…800-367-4728.

We had one Nearshore boat and NINE of our Offshore fleet leave the docks this morning in search of the bite. The Marauder had a morning and afternoon trip bringing in both Blue and Spanish Mackerel. The Offshore boys brought back a mix of Yellowfin Tuna, Tilefish and Mahi. It was a beautiful day on the water! One of our private boats, Lucky Dog, returned to the docks with 17 Mahi, one weighing in at a whopping 47.5 pounds! Want to get in on the meat fish or take your chances with hooking a big one? Come see us in the Ship’s Store, give us a call 252.473.3906, or visit us online at www.fishpiratescove.com so we can get you fishing!

Despite a small craft advisory we did have two venture out to fish today. Winds were out of the South West today 15-20 kts. The first boat in, went wreck fishing, and caught a limit of Tile Fish. The other had a good catch of Dolphin despite the less than desirable conditions. Friday and Saturday forecasts are outstanding and we are just about fully booked both days. We do have a couple make up oppurtunities for those who want to get paired up with other small groups to fish this weekend. Go to www.Fishpiratescove.com and fill out a makeup request if you want to get in on the great fishing going on right now. Starting tomorrow were switching back to regular hours opening 5am till 7pm. Those of you wanting Ethanol free gas to protect the life of their Outboards feel free to come in to the Marina before fishing to fill up anytime after 5 am!

It was a beautiful sunny day but was very windy. Winds were out of the South West up to 20 knotts . Because the winds were SW it was definately a fishable day. We had three out and all were back at the docks pretty early. But the fishing was fantastic again offshore with a Grandslam reported on one boat consisting of Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin, and even a Mako! The rest of the fleet caught good numbers of dolphin and Tuna. The excitement of the day was a Blue Marlin release! With the fishing turning on, so good, the second half of the week is really booked with trips. So I look forward to lots of great catches to report for the upcoming trips. Unfornately were having technical issues in the photography department today so I will not be posting pictures today. It's a shame because the grandslam was quite a sight. Take care and call us at 1-800-367-4728 to book your charter!!

It looks like all the down time last week was down time not wasted. Everyone took full advantage of the time to do some much needed prep work for the upcoming fishing. Today it really showed! The weather was beautiful and the fishing was fantanstic! Last week the yellowfin were strangely absent in the catches. Just lots of really nice dolphin and a few tuna mixed in. Today they decided to make their presence known with everyboat catching good numbers of yellowfin. Dolphin catches were great too. Once again all the boats had large numbers of gaffer size dolphin. Some really large Bull Dolphin in particular one exceeding 40 pounds! A White Marlin was released. Also a private boat reported a Blue Marlin release too! One of the boats was able to land a Mako that was mixed in with the Yellowfin trying to get a free meal. Goes to show that, there's no such thing as a free meal! I've got a lot of people calling about makeups and booking trips. Please visit our website www.fishpiratescove.com to sign up for a makeup. Call us at 1-800-367-4728 to book your trip. Also the Ships store still has a sale on selected Outerwear and Sweatshirts for 30% off!

We had three boats, despite less than ideal conditions, attempt to go offshore today. All three were back at the dock before lunchtime empty handed. The forecast wasn't good for today with Northeast winds up to 20 knotts in the morning. But with the fishing being so good, for Gaffer Dolphin in particular, there were a lot of die hard anglers and captains willing to give it a shot. Conditions were too rough and the Captains had a hard time finding good water. Their crews were greatful for their dedication but decided to head in. Tomorrow looks to be a fishable day with a decent forecast so be sure to check tomorrow's report for the catch! Fishing is great feel free to call us to book your makeup or full charter at 1-800-367-4728!

Happy Mother’s Day from everyone here at Pirate’s Cove Marina! We had three of our Offshore Fleet leave the docks this morning in hopes of bringing home dinner.

Wow!! What a fantastic day again with several limits of dolphin caught. The majority of which were gaffers!

A beautiful sunny Outer Banks day today. There is thunderstorms in the forecast but they have yet to materialize. Today we had several cancellations due to the small craft advisories and high wind. But for the first time in a while I'm sooo happy to report that tomorrow looks like a Blue Bird day. We've got at least 7 boats heading out tomorrow eager to finally catch some fish. It's long overdue that the weather cooperates. So, be sure to check tomorrow's report for the catches! Once again don't forget this weekend is mother's day! We are having a Mother's day sale here at the marina gift shop this weekend. If you have any questions or want to book a trip call us at 1-800-367-7245!

Well another day without much to report! Although I'm sure it was a wonderful early Mother's day gift to have so many Captains and Anglers spending their down time with loved ones and catching up on some much needed chore work. I'm imagining that the novelty of that has well worn off. It's high time that this bad weather moved on so everyone can capitalize on the Springtimes outstanding fishing. Many of the largest fish, of many offshore and inshore species, are the first to make their presence known during their northward migration. A small craft advisory remains in effect through Tuesday evening. It looks like Wednesday is going to be an outstanding day to get out and if the foreast holds up the rest of the week looks very promising! With so much attention focused on the offshore fishing here, it can be easy to forget that not only are we located in one of the world's premier offshore fisheries, but the area also holds an outstanding inshore fishery. Speckled Trout and Puppy Drum have begun to show up in really good numbers in the sound and most likely in the surf (We won't know about the surf until it becomes fishable!). But with the water temps being what they are the large schools showing up in the sound usually are the precurser to inshore fishing turning on. Last year anglers saw some of the best fishing in over a decade. So, with such a mild winter, expectations are really high for the upcoming year! Whether your passion is inshore game or your budget dictates it. We offer inshore and sound charters with some of the most experienced captains in the outerbanks. Call us at 1-800-367-4728 to find out more or book your charter! One last note to all the Anglers. Let's not forget who got us here and don't forget Mother's day is sneaking up in less than a week. We will be having a Mother's Day sale at the end of the week lasting through the weekend. Pirate's Cove gift shop offers a huge variety of gifts that Mom's are sure to love. We carry everything from Lady's Apparal to one of the Outer Banks most gifted jewelry designers collection. You can't go wrong with a Pirate's Cove gift card as well! Take care and tight lines!!

Today was quite a disappointment! We had so many eager Anglers and Cpt's ready to fish today and mother nature apparently didn't get the memo! Seas to 9 feet and lots of wind kept the fleet in the harbor today. It looks like the wind will last at least through tomorrow causing many to switch their trips to Sunday on available boats. Hope everyone has a great weekend and tight lines! Call us to book your charter at 1-800-537-7245

Small craft advisory in effect and no boats out today. Alot of bookings for the coming weekend so should be alot to report soon if the weather cooperates. Also we have a bunch of make up trips with groups of 2 and 3 for this month. Call us to schedule your small group or full group at 1-800-367-4728. Tight Lines.......

We had no boats out today because of the weather. Everything was just right except pouring rain for most of the day. Offshore fishing is the classic example of how luck is defined. Luck is when preperation meets oppurtunity. Spring time offers some of the years finest fishing. However, mother nature alot of times doesn't provide the opportunity! All the summertime species have began to show up with several grandslams this last week. It's just a matter of having the right weather to get to them! May and June trips are starting to fill up rapidly. So be sure and call us to book your springtime trip at 1-800-367-4728. Also I wanted to remind boat owners that we offer ethanol free gasoline here at the Marina. Those of you wanting to fuel up and protect the life of their Outboards feel free to pull into the Marina between 8am-6pm any day of the week. Take care and Tight Lines!

Welcome to spring! Two boats went out today and had a mixed catch that included Yellowfin, Blackfin Tuna, Dolphin, and wahoo. So good to see all these different catches occuring. Its a good sign for things to come. However, it probably signifies the end of the Bluefin Tuna Till the next run.

Calmer seas with gentle breezes finally have arrived. Hopefully, the conditions are here to stay. Fishing is slowly improving. Everyone had a few Blackfin or Yellowfin Tuna with a few Mahi-mahi and one boat reported a “Meatfish Grand Slam”. There were also King Mackerel and Albacore, a little something for everyone! Give us a call to book your charter…800-367-4728.

Two boats made the trip out today. They were rewarded for their effort with a great catch of Tilefish on one. The other caught a Mako and two Tuna, one Blackfin and one Yellowfin. Tomorrow quite a few boats should be heading out, so make sure to check with us on tomorrow's catch..

One boat went out today and came across some wahoo and mako. It looks like the weekend will be a busy one, check back for reports and pictures! Book your offshore, nearshore or inlet trip today 252-473-3906/1-800-367-4728 or visit www.fishpiratescove.com.

We didnt have any boats go out today. So, nothing to report today. However, starting on friday thru the weekend we have a large percentage of the fleet heading offshore. Hopefully the weather holds up and we will have a lot to report Friday. The spring holds some of the best fishing of the year so if you intend on booking a trip do so soon before openings fill up.

Everything is gearing up for another banner year of fishing this spring. After last years outstanding fishing, everyones expectations are really high for the fishing to really turn on this spring. Today was very windy and rainy. The end of this week's forcast should put all the pieces of the puzzle together for some really good catches of Yellowfin Tuna offshore, and inshore Speckled trout and Drum. If you are in the area, stop by to see all the great new arrivals in the Ship's Store! New swimwear for men and women. New t-shirts from Saltlife, Fathom and Tommy Bahama. Great new gift items and tackle! And, back in stock on the online gift shop is the Pen Marlin Design and Bull Marlin Map in t-shirts!

Mother nature decided not to cooperate today. The weather has started to warm up and fish have started to show up in decent numbers. However, none of our boats were able to capitalize today because of the wind and rain. It was a good day to get tackle and boats up to shape for the upcoming spring fishing.

We had one boat offshore on this warm and sunny day. They returned to the dock this afternoon with a 71" Bluefin Tuna and a few Yellowfin Tuna as well. Our nearshore fleet reported lots of Dogshark releases off the beach this morning!

Another gorgeous sunny day here on the Outer Banks and a great day fishing for the offshore fleet. Yellowfin Tuna and Bluefin Tuna were brought to the dock this afternoon. We have a few charters going out tomorrow so stay tuned for another fishing report! Thank goodness for warmer weather and warmer waters! Tight Lines.
