Fishing Report Nov 19th 2013

Tuesday Nov 19th, same sandbar, different day.  Expect a high around 54 degrees under mostly sunny skies with a 0% chance of rain today.  Sunset is 4:53 pm, sunrise tomorrow is 6:43 am.  Winds are N at 20 – 30 mph.

Second tide is low at 2:38 pm and high at 8:19 pm

This northerly breeze is expected to stay with us for a couple days at least.  Yesterday was very productive on the piers and especially the beaches with lots of slot sized puppy drum and some keeper speckled trout in the mix.  Today’s weather calls for a different approach, “plan B” if you will.  A strong north wind means a strong current along the ocean shore with dirty water for sure.  Throwing lures in the surf today would be a little too challenging.  If 8 and bait won’t hold bottom inside of the first 30 yds maybe we need to think about fishing somewhere else.
Oregon inlet – the jetty, the catwalks, Bodie light, propeller slough, Green island slough first come to mind.
Sounds – Kitty Hawk Bay, Colington Island, little bridge, the pier under the west side of the Pirates Cove bridge, west end of Wright Memorial Bridge, back side of Jockeys ridge, the pier at the west end of old Manns Harbor bridge.
Hatteras Island – Pea Island, New Inlet, old channel at Kinnakeet Station, Canadian Hole, south beach (Cape Point to Hatteras Inlet).  lots of other honey holes to be sure.

There is always somewhere on the OBX to feed the fishing beast.  Boat not required.  TAKE A KID FISHING!!!     Coolbreeze out
