May 7,
Today was a decent day to be fishing.It was beautiful weather. There were lots of fish caught on the north side including a nice 20"flounder along with lots of sea mullet.Big blues are still being caught also I'm told there were a couple of red drum north of Frisco.The bait of choice now is shrimp and blood worms for the seamullet and bunker for the drum and blue fish.We have fresh bait so stop by and good luck. |
May 6, BAD NEWS, The park service has decided to close the point, bodie island and parts of Ocracoke to beach driving because of bird nestings
We need you to get on the phones and email to all the congressmen you know to get something done right away or we may lose the beach driving completely.
Iunderstand this is because of a tern or a skimmer which there are plenty of here on the outer banks.
They have survived forever with the traffic why all of a sudden now they want to stop the driving. All because of the tree huggers and the environmentalist
We need your help immediately

Mar 19,Several puppies and some small bluefish showed up over the weekend This coming weekend should improve with the warm weather that is coming. Should be a beautiful weekend.water temp in the ocean yesterday was 54 and should be up some more which will help bring the fish to the beach. temp in the sound however is only 50.8 today so probably the best fishing will be on the ocean side.
