Capt. Marty's Outer Banks Fishing Report & Stories

Not much fishing at all has happened over the last few days so I figured I'd take a moment to tell you a Christmas story about my first Christmas away from home when I was fishing down in the Florida Keys. It was a special moment that's for sure!

Even though things may be a tad slower there was still fishing done over the weekend. I'll get you up to speed with what and where in this report!

A long time tradition at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is to get "creeked" when you catch your first billfish of the year. Well, our ol' pal Capt. Marty is going to tell you all about the "Creekin' Committee" and how it came about and what happened one day when trying to creek someone! 

Not too much to update you on from the last few days but I do have some bright spots in today's report.

Has it been cold?? Nahhhh.... hahaha just kidding! It has been FRIDGID but that hasn't stopped the fish from biting! Getting you up to speed from the last few days!

You need to go fishing... but Marty it's cold outside.... fry 'em up in the kitchen.. but Marty it's COLD OUTSIDE!! Hahaha yes, indeed it is cold outside but believe it or not there were fish caught over the weekend! I'll get you up to speed on all that on this COLD MONDAY!

Blow days happen but when you have multiple blow days in a row, that's when some of the captains can get into mischief! In this story Capt. Marty tells us about how he, Capt. John Bayliss, Capt. Mike Merritt and (believe it or not) Capt. Omie Tillett got into some mischief with Capt. Lee Perry. So how does a shark and the State Bureau of Investigation get woven into this? Listen and be ready to laugh!

Kind of a slow last couple of days overall but fishing in the surf has been where its at. I'll talk to you about that as well as some bluefin talk from the offshore side of things and speckled trout talk from the back country!

Here's the latest from the fishing world over the last few cold and windy days! Someone tell the Lord to cut the AC off!

Back on that fishing rollercoaster! The weekend was packed full of fishing activity, namely the Bluefin just off the beach in certain spots. Where? Listen and I'll tell you!

This is typically the time of the year where things start to slow down, however there is breaking news in today's report!!

Also my next episode of the Capt. Marty Show comes out tomorrow morning! If you have anything you would like for me to discuss or any questions you would like answered give me a call on the Capt. Marty Hotline: 252-216-2797

Yesterday was pretty much a wash but Monday definitely was not! I'll get you up to speed with what has happened out there over the last few days in this report.

I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I took a much needed break myself, but now its back to business. Fishing was REALLY GOOD all the way around. I'll get you up to speed with what went on over the last handful of days in this report.

Back in Capt. Marty's younger days at Ponce Inlet, FL, he worked on a head boat called 'The Flamingo' with Capt. Jake Stone. When they didn't have trips booked they would occasionally do some commercial fishing overnight in the ocean. How does a payphone come into play? Let's let Capt. Marty tell you the story...

A pre-Thanksgiving fishing report. I hope each of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving and I will be back next week to update you on what all took place over the holiday.

This were a tad slower offshore yesterday, but the beach fishing and the back country fishing made up for it. I'll get you up to speed with it all in this report.

The weekend was a HUGE bounce-back from last week! Had a gold-star catch in the Hatteras fleet plus lots of different species being hooked up from all over, even on the freshwater side! I'll talk all about it in this report.

Wrapping up a rollercoaster of a week and taking a look at the weekend ahead in this report.
