Captain Rennie Clark Jr has been fishing the coastal waters of NC for thirty years. He has fished the entire coastline of North Carolina. His vast experience and knowledge of saltwater fishing has led him to test his skills against the best inshore fisherman from North Carolina to Louisiana. His experience fishing coastal waters all up and down the east coast has given him the ability to find fish under any conditions even in new waters. Captain Ren has fished as far north as Wells, Mainen to the Florida Keys. Whether it comes to catching striped bass, redfish, trout, or any of our other coastal game fish you can count on Captain Ren to put you on them. Tournament Trail Charters offer inshore/near shore charters from the Brunswick County Beaches to the New River and all areas in between. Rest assured whether you are a seasoned fly angler or a beginner you will have a great day on the water.

Cold Weather Trout











The weather and water has surely cooled down in the month of December. The speckled trout bite has continued to be red hot if you can locate the fish. There are plenty of fish being caught off the surf and around structure. Inshore the fish are hanging in deeper holes in the more stable water temperatures. I have been catching trout on soft plastics matched up to the smallest jigheads I can fish effectively given the conditions-wind, water depth, current, tides, etc. Most of the trout continue to be over 2 lbs. The past two trips have yielded quick action from aggressive legal trout. All of the trout caught lately have been over 17 inches and up to 24 inches. If you can stand the cool weather there are plenty of fish to catch.
I have a few dates still available for January and February. Book now while the fishing is hot and crowds at the ramp are small. This is my favorite time of the year on the water. The redfishing is hot as well with large schools and the best sight fishing opportunities of the year.





Tight lines,

Capt Ren
