Fishing Report: 9/11/13

As far as “hump” days go, this would be an excellent one to skip whatever it is you’re supposed to be doing, instead grab your significant other and play hookey. Stroll the beach at Pea Island, take the ferry to Ocracoke, have a picnic on the pier, even if it’s just for an hour, get outside and enjoy your life for a little while cause this is a great day to do it. If it includes fishing, all the better!!

Look for a high of 83, sunny, 0% chance of rain, light SW wind backing to SE 5 to 15 mph. Sunset at 7:18 pm, sunrise tomorrow at 6:42 am.

First tide is low at 5:54 am, high at 12:13 pm
Second tide is low at 6:48 pm, no high predicted

The pier reports say the sea water temp is running 74 – 78 degrees and the water is muddy. The catching is kind of slow with mostly bluefish, sea mullet, spot, some puppy drum and small croaker – haven’t gotten any info from surf fishermen yet.
