Capt. Marty's Outer Banks Fishing Report & Stories

One of the greatest marlin stories to come out of the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center happened with Capt. Harry Baum on the JoBoy back in 1974. I was still a young mate down in Ponce Inlet, FL and my brother in-law was already a mate with Big Al Foreman at Oregon Inlet. I called my brother in-law all excited one day about a sailfish I had caught, and he burst my bubble with the story you're about to hear...

We are rolling into tournament weekend at Pirate's Cove! Alice Kelly Tournament is Sunday and the Billfish Tournament starts next Tuesday. I'll talk about that and all of what took place in our waters in this report.

Happy Thursday! We have all sorts of things to talk about in today's report including the latest from the Ocean City White Marlin Open.

Get the latest fishing report from Corolla to Ocracoke, along with the latest weather forecast. Plus, catch up on the biggest stories and updates from the Ocean City White Marlin Open.

Not much happening offshore due to the winds but there was a good drum bite back in the sounds. I'll talk about that, the Ocean City White Marlin Open and you'll get a chance to hear my pet bird chirping in this report.
