Fishing Report Dec 7th 2013

/in /by

For Sat Dec 7th it’s not  looking like it will be the nicest weather on the OBX.  Expect N winds 20 – 30 mph, rain is very likely with the high  in the low 50s.  You probably won’t be able to see the sunset at 4:48 pm nor tomorrows sunrise at 7:00 am.
First tide is low at 4:18 am and high at 10:27 am
Second tide is low at 5:02 pm and high at 11:03 pm

It’s the kickoff weekend for the Xmas and end of the year holidays and as I look outside at the grey wet skies, I’m just not feeling the love today.  I’m pretty confident there isn’t much fishing to report on this morning but there are some holiday happenings in our community to post.  Jennettes pier is hosting the annual Hotline Festival of Trees (call the pier at 255-1501 for details).  The Manteo Christmas parade kicks off at 10:30 am thiw morning.  Santa will be at the Great White Fishmas hosted by the N C Aquarium on Roanoke Island beginning  at 5:30 pm.  In the other direction the Duck Yuletide Celebration hosted by the town of Duck begins around 3:00 pm (call 255-1286 for info).

Drive responsibly this holiday season,

For Tuesday Dec 3rd, mostly sunny skies 0% chance of rain, high around 57 degrees with NW winds 10 mph or less.  Sunset at 4:49 pm and sunrise tomorrow at 6:56 am.
First tide is low at 12:38 am with a high at 6:58 am

For early December it looks to be a pretty decent day.  I did hear of a few trout (emphasis very few) landed on the beach north of Avalon pier yesterday.   Schools of puppy drum are scattered up and down the beaches –  Oregon Inlet area has been fairly active.
Jennettes pier reported some drum caught but not many people fishing – Jennettes just went to their winter hours, 8 am – 5 pm,  open daily.

Winter hours at the Stop n Shop are Sun-Thur 7 am – 9 pm, Fri and Sat 7 am – 10 pm.  Just a reminder we make personalized gift baskets, perfect for the holidays.

Nags Head pier reported keeper red drum this morning – NH pier is closing for the season today.  OBX and Avalon piers locked their doors yesterday – they will all open up again next spring.  Jennettes pier hosted their annual Redfish tournament yesterday morning with over 70 anglers signed up.  The winning drum was 24 1/2 inches.  Jennettes pier will remain open for the winter.  Several slot sized drum have been landed there this morning also.

No detectable weather anomalies for the next several days – maybe we can snag some of those large specs evacuating Virginia.  Keep your hopes up – it could happen.

Fishing Report Nov 30th 2013

The forecast for Saturday Nov 30th calls for a high of 52 under sunny skies with a 0% chance of rain. Winds will be NE 10- 15 mph, sunset will be at 4:49 pm and sunrise tomorrow will be at 6:53 am.
First tide is a high at 4:30 am with a low at 10:59 am
Second tide is high at 4:44 pm with a low at 10:57 pm

It’s the beginning of the end of another holiday weekend and it’s a busy one.  Red drum is the fish of the day again and that is  a good thing cause today is Jennettes Pier annual Redfish Tournament.  They have about 50 anglers signed up this morning – cruise on over and check them out.  Jennettes pier will be open all winter, however it’s the last day of the season for Avalon and the Outer Banks piers – it’s also the last day for Fishheads Bar and Grill at the OBX pier – they will all re-open next spring.

There are some forecasters calling for a bitterly cold winter and half of me would like to see it happen.  It would increase the likelihood of striped bass leaving the bay and coming south, but the tossup is whether the fish will stay inside of 3 miles or not.  As much as I would prefer another mild winter, it has been a long while since there has been a good rockfish run around the old sandbar.

With high hopes,  TAKE A KID FISHING !!!!

Conditions are good this morning with clean water, 2 – 3 ft waves, ocean temps in the low to mid 50’s.  The first report I had this morning was slot size red drums and a few keeper speckled trout were being hooked from the beach north of Avalon pier.  All the piers said the puppy drum bite was on again.

Avalon and Outer Banks piers are closing for the season on Saturday Nov 30th.  Nags Head pier will shut down Sunday Nov 31st.  Jennettes pier will remain open all winter.

For Monday Nov 25th, the expected high will be around 44 degrees with partly cloudy skies and 0% chance of rain.  Wind will start out N shifting to SE 10 -15 mph.  Sunset is 4:51 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 6:49 pm.
First tide is high at 12:07 am with a low at 6:11 am
Second tide is high at 12:13 pm and low at 6:48 pm

Driving to work this morning I noticed the ice on some areas of Kitty Hawk Bay so it had to be a bit more than chilly last nite.  Calling around to the piers, Outer banks pier was the hot spot with several slot puppy drum hooked this morning.  Sea water temp is posted as 50 – 51 degrees.  Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be in the 60s but with a significant chance of rain.  Thanksgiving is typically a popular holiday on the OBX so I’m hoping we don’t get weathered out on the weekend.  Not trying to date myself but I can remember surf fishermen coming here for the holiday to chase schools of large bluefish blitzing the beaches.  Not holding my breath but wouldn’t that be something to be thankful for!

If those fat speckled trout decide to start showing up this week and the cold weather is making you re-think your wader situation, come on in, we can help you out.  If you need fresh eels, we can help you out.

For Saturday Nov 23rd mostly cloudy with a small chance of rain, high around 54 degrees.  Winds fresh N to NW at 15 – 25 mph.  Sunset is 4:51 pm and sunrise tomorrow is at 6:47 pm
First tide is low at 4:27 am and high is 10:37 am
Second tide is low at 5:15 pm with a high at 11:15pm

Well, like the weather, the drum bite has cooled down a lot from earlier this week.  Piers and beaches had little to report this morning.  Temps are dropping tonight and the breeze is building – that should chase some more fishes out of Virginia down our way – we can only hope.

Offshore fleet stayed at the docks today – probably tomorrow also.

Good weekend to work on your gear.  TAKE A KID FISHING!!!     Coolbreeze   out

For  Friday Nov 22nd, warmer today, high around 68 degrees mostly cloudy skies, wind south shifting to southwest 10 – 15 and a 0% chance of rain.  Sunset is 4:52 pm and sunrise tomorrow at 6:46 am
First tide is low at 3:42 am with a high at 9:55 am
Second tide is low at 4:33 pm with a high at 10:27 pm

Not sure what the ocean temp is cause we’re getting different readings – we’ll just call it at 55 degrees.  Not hearing a lot  of  puppy drum, mostly small specks although I did weigh a 5.54# spec caught by Jim Soles north of Avalon pier. I did hear that the offshore boats did go out.
