About Me

My photo
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.

I just wanted to thank all of you that attended the Saltwater Sportsman Seminar in Bolivia, NC in January. I met a lot of fisherman and received emails and calls from a lot of you and hope to see you soon on the water. Was great meeting George Poveromo and other great fisherman from around the country that have been an integral part in conservation efforts to restore fisheries in overfished/mismanaged areas. If you did not attend this seminar I would highly recommend it if you have a chance to in the future. The price for the Saltwater Sportsman seminars are $55 and that included a one year prescription of Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, raffles and door prizes, a kids seminar and much more. For much more on when and where the next seminars will be held go to this link: Below were the instructors for our area: WILMINGTON-AREA, NORTH CAROLINA Capt. Bouncer Smith Harry Vernon III Capt.

Past couple trips

Got out a couple times the past week.  Took the wife out late Sunday afternoon for an hour.  We fished the flats and found several pods of reds in the clear cool water.  My wife landed one red to my none.  We spooked several fish as we were limited in time so we covered as much water as possible on the trolling motor. 

Last Friday I went out of Carolina beach to see if I could find a stray striper coming down the beach.  I saw one fish bust a pogy on top but couldn't hook up.  The Gannetts were dive bombing large schools of very large pogies so there has to be a few off the beach.  I lost my focus as I was approached by two whales that came right up to my boat.  What a cool experience!

I got in one full day of fishing yesterday.  I fished for reds and specks early and boated five reds in short order, then tried to find some specks up river.  I never found the trout so I shifted gears and went striper fishing.  I landed 5 fish up to 28" and pulled the hooks on five more.  I was using large soft plastics on weighted hooks due to the structure I was fishing.  Pretty day on the water even though it was a little slow.


Tight lines,

Capt Ren
