What’s changing
Wind and seas remain steady, but tidal range increases and shifts.
Written by AI from the numbers above, which it did not produce and cannot change. The window and the trend are calculated, not written; qwen2.5:3b-instruct-q4_0 · fishing-brief-v4 · 398 hours ago.

Confidence 32% — 2 domains of the eight the model names actually ran.
Model status Experimental and uncalibrated — this number has never been checked against a real trip. It grades the fishing, never the day.
Second opinion A language model scored the same day 55. It sees the wind and seas the number above is blind to, it is not reproducible, and it has never been checked against a real trip either. Logged beside the score so both can be tested against outcomes later. Scored 392 hours ago. Model said: Wind and sea conditions are moderate, supporting moderate fishing prospects

Where the breaks are

Chartplotter waypoints satellite pass 2026-10-02
Download waypoints.gpx
Satellite data is 17 days old — these waypoints describe that day's water, not today's.
These coordinates are where the front was measured. It has moved about 133nm since that pass, at the 8.0nm/day this port last measured — they are not corrected for it.
From the most recent satellite pass, not a forecast -- there's no way to download waypoints for a day before that pass has actually happened.

Targeted here this month
  • 1King Mackerelpeak
  • 2Sailfishpeak
  • 3White Marlinpeak
  • 4Yellowfin Tunapeak
  • 5Blue Marlin
  • 6Bluefin Tuna
Species running now, from the operator’s own local knowledge of this water. Not a survey: no sample size, no method and no year range, so it carries no error bars and cannot be re-derived. Peak months first. Not a recommendation.
King Mackerelpeak
Keep min 24" FL, 3/Day — NC DMF as of 2026-08-20. Verify before keeping. NC DMF →
Where They live in water 115 to almost 600 feet deep. King mackerel are a coastal pelagic species, meaning they live in the open waters near the coast.
Prey King mackerel are carnivores, feeding on fish, squid, and shrimp. Juvenile and larger pelagic fish feed on smaller king mackerel.
Rules Annual catch limits divided between the commercial and recreational fisheries for the Atlantic and Gulf of America stocks. Minimum size limit to allow fish time to mature and spawn. NOAA summary, not current limits
Sailfishpeak
Keep min 63" LJFL, 1/Day — NC DMF as of 2026-08-20. Verify before keeping. NC DMF →
White Marlinpeak
Keep min 66" LJFL — NC DMF as of 2026-08-20. Verify before keeping. NC DMF →
Yellowfin Tunapeak
Keep Unable to verify — not listed in the NC recreational table. NC DMF →
Prey Yellowfin tuna feed near the top of the food chain on fish, squid, and crustaceans.
Rules Minimum size limit. NOAA summary, not current limits

Species and their seasons are the operator’s own local knowledge, not survey data; depth, prey and gear rules from the NOAA species directory; season from the operator’s own recorded local knowledge — not a survey, so it carries no sample size and no error bars. The gear line says a rule exists, not what it is — check current limits before you keep anything. Nothing here is a recommendation to go.

Spread layout and trolling speed are not here: no agency publishes them. That is the part still marked Soon.

==============================================================
THE CAPTAIN DECIDES. Nothing here is a recommendation. This reports what
NWS has issued, estimates how rough the ride will feel, and flags when
the forecast exceeds the limits you set -- it does not know your boat,
your crew, your fuel, or what the inlet looks like this morning, and it
never tells you the conditions are fine. Whether to go -- and when to
turn back -- is the captain's call and the captain's responsibility.

The captain decidesNothing here is a recommendation.What this page does →

This page reports what NWS has issued and estimates how rough the ride will feel. An NWS advisory is the only thing it warns you about. It does not know your boat, your crew, your fuel, or what the inlet looks like this morning — and it never tells you conditions are fine. Whether to go — and when to turn back — is the captain's call and the captain's responsibility. What these readings mean →
