Our fishing charters resume May 9th as NC starts it's re-opening plan.

 – A maximum of two anglers per charter will be enforced during Phase 1 and will be relaxed to three anglers at the start of Phase 2 of re-opening (late May/early June)

Fishing report/forecast – May can be an outstanding month of fishing on the Neuse and the Ocean! Yesterday we had a first trophy reds of the season landing a 45-pound fish on top water! We also caught specks, reds, bluefish, and that continues through July. New Bern offers great top water fishing through May and June for stripers and reds and speckled trout, bass and panfish. The ocean out of Beaufort will produce bluefish, bonito, false albacore, cobia, sharks, Spanish mackerel and so on. As of now, most of my May trips were cancelled, so we have openings in May and plenty of openings in June and July.

We will have rooms available in Oriental May 9 and New Bern is open now.
The restaurants will remain closed to indoor dinning into Phase 2 of NC reopening Plan, but we have restaurants serving takeout.
