Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our summer fishing adventure with Erlin and their crew out of Manteo, NC. We set out early in the morning from Salty Charters, ready to explore the rich waters around Roanoke Island. The day greeted us with clear conditions, perfect for spotting fish and enjoying our time on the water. As we cruised out from 1205 North Hwy, the anticipation was building for what promised to be an exciting day of inshore fishing.

Once the stage was set, we got down to business, employing a mix of techniques to target the local species. We started with some bottom fishing, which proved effective in the shallow inshore waters. As the day progressed, we switched things up, trying our hand at live bait fishing and even doing some trolling. The variety kept things interesting and allowed us to cover more ground. Our persistence paid off when Erlin's crew hooked into a monster Redfish. After an impressive fight, we brought the beauty on board, measuring in at a whopping 37 inches! It was definitely a highlight of our trip with Salty Charters.

The action didn't stop there. We also managed to land some feisty Bluefish, with the largest coming in at 23 inches. These hard-fighting fish provided some great sport and kept the rods bent throughout the day. As we worked different spots around Roanoke Island, we found success with each technique we tried. The clear conditions allowed us to spot fish easily, making for some exciting sight fishing opportunities. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having experienced some of the best inshore fishing Manteo has to offer.
