Fishing Report: 9/5/13

Even though the forecast calls for a 0% chance of rain, I’m guessing scattered showers like the short one that just dumped on me are possible. Expect mostly sunny skies with a high around 82 degrees and light and variable winds. Sunset at 7:26 pm, sunrise tomorrow at 6:37. Ocean temp is 75-78 degrees and the surf is small at 1-2 feet.
First tide is low at 1:47 am, high at 7:49 am
Second tide is low at 2:00 pm, high at 8:00 pm

Not much noise from surf fishermen, so far all I’ve heard is some spot, sea mullet and small pompano.

Nags Head pier decked a 54 lb. cobia last night. Summer spot, sea mullet, bluefish, spanish and pompano are hitting the coolers on all the piers.

When the offshore boats come out of Oregon Inlet, they either go north for white marlin, or head south for tuna, mahi-mahi and wahoo. Inshore  boats have been plenty busy trolling for bluefish and spanish, wreck fishing for tilefish, sea bass and triggerfish or working the sounds for trout, drum and flounder.

Good luck to all. Take a kid fishing… Coolbreeze out
