Fishing Report Oct 10th 2013

For Thursday Oct 10th the ocean is very rough with a large disorganized swell.  As I post this report the sun is starting to peek through the windows of the store.  The forecast calls for E winds 10 – 15+, a lot less than yesterday, and a smaller chance of rain.  Duck Research Pier posts the water temp at 68 degrees.  Sunset is 6:35 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 7:05 am.
First tide was low at 5:38 am and high is just before noon at 11:56 am
Second tide is low at 6:35 pm with the next high early  tomorrow morning

At midday anglers on Jennetts Pier had caught some spot , bluefish, small croaker and a 24in puppy drum.  OBX Pier only had a few fishermen catching some spot.

The 63rd annual Nags Head Surf Fishing Tournament kicked off at 7:30 this morning with the teams facing challenging conditions.  Have some early info that the fishing teams were able to access the beach and that fishes were caught and scored.  I will update as I receive more details.
