The winds have calmed down and it is absolutely beautiful on the beach. The only report I received was a commercial boat right off Hatteras inlet that did really well with sea mullet. Tomorrow the winds should be blowing south west and that should push them up the beach ... Send us your pics so we can post them when you catch your citation fish! Happy fishing!

Gale force winds kept fishermen off the beach today and the side current wouldn't allow any weight to hold. The low pressure system that developed right off of our coast is now headin' to the Northeast with lots of snow... hunker down up there! Fishing should be more promising tomorrow and shelling should be great on the south beaches... see you out there! Our new coffee system is up and running so get yourself a hot cup of cappucino before you head out!

Apr 4, For you folks that want to fish and do not have a four wheeler, you can rent my beach house that have a nice view of the ocean and you can walk to some of the best fishimg on the island. Also for the folks that havee kids no one is allowed to drive on these beaches. If you do have a four wheeler and don't want to pay the driving permit can save some money.

The temperature is calling for 64 degrees and winds out of the SW at 15 to 20 mph. Still waiting for the rock fish to show up and start some excitement for some time to come. Have only heard of a few speckled trout being caught up and down the surf. Stop in and see us here at Dillon's Corner for your fishing needs. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Jan.23,
Temps are in the mid 60's today .Tonight calling for rain.There are still a few scattered trout being caught.Yesterday I heard there were a few stripers caught at the new inlet.But it's pretty quiet around here this time of year.

Jan. 21st
Saturday 3:00 P. M. At the present we have a blowing rain and gusting winds. The temperature is actually a nice 68 degrees with winds out of the SW at 20 to 30 mph. Tomorrow looks like the winds will slow but it will be a little cooler with a temperature of 57 degrees and winds out of the NE at 10 to 15 mph. We have had decent fishing days lately but the bite has been slow with only speckled trout reported being caught. I think the speck bite will continue as long as the water temp stays in the 50's and that looks favorable for some time. We are still waiting for information to come out about the beach driving permits, will let you know as soon as we hear something. Stop in and see us here at Dillon's Corner for bait and tackle along with some awesome shopping. Tomorrow looks like a great day for the football playoffs to determine who will make it to the Super Bowl, bring it on. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Jan 20, No reports yet today but looks like a fairly good day to go trout fishing. Currently 53 degrees and winds ne at 9 mph.

Jan 18th, Had a fisherman just come in looking for bait which at this time of the year is scarce. I told him about PJ Williams catching specs on Gulp Nuclear Chicken on ramp 34 in Avon. He said that last evening Kevin out near the point caught a spec and a puppy drum. There are fish here you just have to work to get them. Weather today is overcast damp but the temp is in the fifties, no telling what tomorrow will bring.
We are here anytime you need something and as soon as we find out we will update you on the new driving on the beach will be and what is required from you.I know some of you folks already have permits in your state. If these are permits to drive on a National Seashore they should be honored on all National seashores, but that i9s my opinion and as you know everyone has one.
Give us a holler if you need something. We'll be glad to build it for you or mail you something out. Have a great day

Jan. 16,

I talk to a few guys that fished today, they all said they caught nothing. But tomorrows a new day we will try again.

Jan 3, Big blues have hit Oregon inlet and hopefully the cold weather will bring them our way and there were a bunch of seagulls with gannets mixed in. For the last 4 days Kevin has caught some keeper trout up and down the beach.

Jan 3rd, Wow what a difference in temp it is 34 today and the wind is gusting to 25 mph Right chilly. On Sunday I may have mentioned that thousands of gulls were working Oregon Inlet. Later that day there were stripers hitting on anything you threw off the beach, the folks went down the next day and they caught nothing so hopefully the fish are on the way down to us. With this cold spell it will get our water temp down and that will help. Come on down or at least call.

Oct.19th, If you fish today you have to love it. It is pouring down and has been all night. The good news it is going to stop and be a beautiful weekend. As you read yesterday, there was a great deal of drum on the point It reminded of a time several years ago when people kept calling me at here at work telling me how many drum they were catching but I was stuck here, finally at 2 I got to leave here and go to the point. It was crazy but the drum were still there. Caught one right away and 30 minutes later had another on. They would come in then would seem to circle out and about 20-30minutes later come back through. Snuffy Smith said that was very similar to what went on yesterday. The wind shifted to the SW and that is what we needed to get those fish in here. So make your plans to come down if you need a place to stay a couple of days call 800-995-0023 Outer Banks Motel I have some beach cottage they rent for me. Have a great day I look forward to seeing you.

In fact they have shut the ferry down from Stumpy Point to Rodanthe until it slows.We do not know how soon the bridge will be built to allow you to come back to the island.

Thanks to all of my friends that sent the over two hundred pair of shoes down for the folks in the tri villages.

Sept. 13, Good news is that folks can come back on Sept 15th but only by a ferry from Swan Quarter or one from Cedar Island. They also say the road may be done by Oct 1st.

You can not stay in the villages of Rodanthe Waves or Salvo you have to have places in Avon, Buxton, Frisco or Hatteras

We have sey up a free market for the folks of the tri villages so if you have in clothes shoes or anything soaps detergents mosquito spray or things that folks can use you can drop it off here at Dillons Corner and I will be sure it gets to the free market in Salvo.

By the wat spanish fishing on the point here in Buxton is as good as it gets. There are lots of keeper drum in the flats and also in the inlet.
Come on down and help boost this economy.

The weather has been pretty nice here since Irene left her mark on the Island. Today the temperatuire made it up to 86 degrees with a SW wind at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow looks like it will be 85 dehgrees with a ESE wind early then SE all at 5 to 10 mph. The breaches are in the process of repair, how long it will take is unknown. Ferry service is from Stumpy Point to Rodanthe and people trying to get on the Island may be waiting for some time with backup. Irene left a lot of damage mostly in Avon and the tri-villages. A lot of familys were forced out of their homes from the intense flooding, making them unliveable. We are now up to full power and have cell phone service. Clean up will take some time from all the destruction Irene left behind. Fishing has been second to last on most peoples list, but did get a report that puppy drum and specks are being caught. The ground has been drying up nicely with plenty of sun and a nice breeze daily. Two homes in Rodanthe have given way to the ocean and another burned to the ground. It was a rough week when Irene hit with a earthquake and water spout to boot. I know now how Gilligan must have felt being stranded on a Island. The American Red Cross and FEMA have been busy here and doing a great job. Thanks to everyone who has pitched in to help with meals and cleanup. There are many things to report and you can go to Island Free Press.com to get a update. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

August 31,
We finally have our internet back. Here's what I know,there is breach between Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe. So they are sending ferry's from Stumpy Point to Rodanthe. There is also a patch of hwy out on Ocracoke.Buxton faired well. But other villages weren't so lucky and our thoughts and prayers go out to them.We are open for business from 8:00 am til 7:00 pm. until things get back to normal or as close as can be to normal.
Jay

Aug 26th, Here we are waiting for Irene. Hopefully everyone in its path will remain safe. I have friends that live down east that I hope are ready for this storm We hear that it is going to go in near Morehead and then move up the sound which will put trhe strongest winds on our side which is not good but hopefully we will be here Sunday trying to clean up the mess. Please pray for all the folks in the path of this storm and hopefully we will get back to the fishing and the reports.

love you all

GO AWAY IRENE ! We are waiting to see what track Irene takes in the next few days, if it keeps moving East we could dodge a bullet. We will keep the faith and hope for the best. Irene is our biggest concern even though we felt a 5.8 Earthquake here today on the Outer Banks that occured in Virginia. Today the temperature was 86 degrees with a NE wind at 10 to 15 mph. Tomorrow looks like it will be 85 degrees with a NE wind at 10 to 15 mph. Have not heard any reports on fishing today but the fish may have shell shock after the Earthquake today. Stop by Dillon's Corner and see us for all the fresh baits and great tackle you will need. Keep your fingers crossed for the best out of Irene. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Sea mullet is starting to pick up on the surf along with puffers, flounder and a few drum. Ramp 45 has been the hot spot for flounder, mullet and a few puppies. Ramp 34 has been good for sea mullet and some small blues. It has been mostly cloudy with rain showers off and on here today. The temperature made it up to 79 degrees with a south wind at 10 to 15 mph. Tomorrow looks like the temperature will be 74 degrees with a chance of showers and the wind out of south at 15 to 20 mph.

Last night was pretty rough here with Thunderstorms and wind gusting up to 50 mph. This morning started off the same way with heavy rain and strong winds. Around 4 p.m. this afternoon the winds died and the rain has slowed with sunshine off and on. The temperature today made it up to 58 degrees with only mild wind at the time. Tomorrow looks like it will be better with a temperature of 58 degrees and winds starting out of the NW then shifting out of the WNW and then SSW in the afternoon at 10 to 15 mph. Yesterday catches of sea mullet and puffers were reported, but today the surf has probably been to rough along with strong currents. Come by Dillon's Corner for all of your fishing needs and more.

If the water continues to warm the bite should be on soon. I was told some puppy drum and small blues are being caught off of Ocracoke so thats a good sign for things to come. Come in and see us at Dillon's Corner for fresh bait and plenty of tackle to make your fishing trip a good one. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Ther are fish showing up. On the south beach ramp 45 for several days using frozen shrimp we have caught puffers. Deane Keith Logan of Earylsville Va. came in this am and told that he caught quite a few yesterday where we sent him so they were still there. They also caught sharks and skates which is a good sign.
So start cleaning up your equipment and come on down. Remember if you do not have your rooms booked call Outer Banks Motel and reserve one of my beachhouses. Just ask for one of Ollie's places. You can chesk them out on this site under accomadations.Cll if you need us.

                 Please everyone we need your help, together we can make a difference ! Contact Senator Kay Hagan at 202-224-6342 and tell her to open the point, NO BIRDS NESTING. Here is a sample that will help you make your point when you make contact with her.
     Dear Senator, as a ( visitor or resident ) I'm asking you to show me the SCIENCE behind the outrageous buffers at the Cape Hatteras National Recreational Seashore. Audubon drew up these huge non-science buffers. They are closing traditional and cultural areas of the beach that were used for fishing, shelling, birding and recreation. A large majority of voters feel you are not doing very much to help our
N. C. beaches !!!!! It's time YOU REACT OR RESIGN!!!!
PS, Talk nice but let them know you have had it !!!!

March, 26

Today turned out to be a very nice day, but a little windy. The temperature made it up to 69 degrees with winds out of the NE at 15 to 20 mph. Tomorrow will be a bit cool with a temperature of 52 degrees and wind out of the NNE at 15 to 20 mph. Fishing is starting to pick up slowly with a few sea mullet, blues and puppy drum being caught. The point was closed yesterday by the NPS so that means the games have started to take place here again this year. All of the ramps are open but you can't get to the point, what a joke so early in the year. Make sure you stop by Dillon's Corner for fresh bait and a great selection of tackle, along with great shopping. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Fishing has been pretty slow with only a few sea mullet and sharks being caught. All of the ramps are open and will be until the plovers and turtles start nesting. When that happens only those ramps will close others will be available to you. We never know what the Park Service has in mind except they try to rule all of our beaches to show there power. So do not give up the faith, fishing will always be great here. Let's all hang in there and get a grip on what is supposed to belong to everyone anyway. The weather here today has been pretty nice with a temperature of 65 degrees, cloudy and a SE breeze at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow looks like the winds will pick up out of the south 20 to 25 mph and a temperature of 62 degrees. Make sure you stop by Dillon's Corner for all of your fishing needs. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

But yesterday when I was working in one of Ollies cottages I could see about a thousand birds working just past the sand bar near the jetty's. So that means there is bait in the water.There were a few stiper caught a few days ago at Oregon inlet not much else going on.

Jan 23, Here are a few pics of DC from yesterdays snow. We got about 5 inches. It was a nice storm winds had the snow almost horizontal. Here in Buxton it has the town shutdown. Everyone kept seeing a roadgrader with the blade up I dont believe that though but you never know Maybe we wanted to be like New York. Have a great day and dont forget we will drop ship and we are still making our custom rods 252-995-5083

This is our deep snow so far They are calling for one inch here in Buxton but so far I see no chains on the tires. ha The fish are not cooperating but this cold spell may get them moving this way and hopefully to the beach. I guess most of you have seen the pics. or have heard of the striper kill at Oregon Inlet. If not Google oregon Inlet fish kill. What is a shame our govt will not let us salvage this fish, which would be good for the food pantries. ollie

Jan. 19,
Well there was a disturbing video on you tube of thousands of stiped bass floating,killed by trawlers culling their catch, and throwing the smaller ones back even though they were over the size limit of 28 inches. Comercial fisherman can keep 50 striped bass. You can see the video on YOU TUBE. Tght lines andgood luck!

Jan. 18
Not much to report on the fishing front except for stripers still being caught in numbers out of Oregon Inlet. Yesterday Carl Berg and myself went out of Oregon Inlet on the boat called the Hooker and we caught 15 stripers all together. We had to go all the way to Southern Shores to find them and there we did have a field day. We had fish in the 40 pound range to 24 pounds. Will have a picture to show you in my next fishing report along with more information about the trip coming up on Saturday.It was a awesome day on the water for the whole crew. The water temperature is now 44 degrees and will more than likely stay close to that for a while. Today it has been raining with lots of fog around. Tomorrow looks like more of the same. Come by Dillon's Corner and see us for all you will need for that fishing adventure. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Jan. 15
The weather is nice here today with a temperature of 50 degrees and calm winds. Tomorrow looks nice as well with a temperature of 49 degrees and winds out of the NW at 10 to 15 mph. On the fishing front all I have heard is that the Charters out of Oregon Inlet are catching limits each time out. I plan to make a Charter tomorrow or Monday out of Oregon Inlet and will let you know how it turned out. I have seen a lot of sharks washing up on the beach around the point and south beach. It's been a long winter all ready and we can only welcome better conditions as soon as possible. Stay in touch and keep the faith. When you do make it here stop and see us at Dillon's Corner for all the fishing supplies you will need. Have a nice day and even better tomorrow. Larry

Jan. 13,
There were some stiper caught from the beach between ramp 34 and ramp 30. Don't know where exactly but heard that the main school was off the beach in salvo about 600 yds out. Water temps are36 degrees.High today 40 low tonight 31.

Jan 7th,Here in Buxton there have been some puppy drum by Frisco pier the last few days. Lots of them have been snagged. But it means the fish are around. The good news is there are plenty of stripers off shore and At Oregon Inlet especially. On wed the state record might have been broken with a 63 pounder and thur. a 64 pounder was caught. Some nice fish. One of our buddies hust text us he had fifteen stripers in 20 minutes caught right in the inlet by the bridge. There is a striper tournament going on which means a few good cash prizes may be had. If you can get down here it would be a good chance on getting a nice fish. On the right here is Sonny Quidley with stripers they caught yesterday. They had their limit and released quite a few.
We are going to Raleigh this week to visit the Henrys Tackle show to view some new items and hopefully see some of you there. Good luck

Happy New Year to every one. There are still some puppy drum being caught on the south beach.Kevin McCabe said he's caught a couple every day for the past eight days. I talked to a net fisherman and he said there is a big school of striper about three miles off the beach in Buxton. So we just might get lucky this year if they move in toward the beach. Haven't heard much else. Tight lines and Good luck!
