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 the Crystal Coast, 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 two hours to get to, yields good catches of this 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 two. 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. 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
