Fishing Report Oct 8th 2013

For Tuesday Oct 8th, not exactly the weather we would have preferred for the week of the Nags Head Surf Fishing Tournament but it’s what we got, so we’ll suck it up and deal with it ( o k, some of us will deal with it ).  Winds out of the N E at 20 – 30+ mph will make fishing in the ocean on the north beaches “challenging”.  Todays high will be around 68 degrees under cloudy and very possibly rainy skies. Water temp at the end of Duck Pier is 72 degrees (warmer then the air if you’re thinking about swimming).  Sunset is 6:38 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 7:03 am.
First tide is low at 3:54 am and high is 10:09 am
Second tide is low at 4:42 pm and high is 10:29 pm

Avalon reported they had some diehards on the end who decked 7 old drum this morning.  Jennettes Pier had 1 drum by 9 am.  Fishing Unlimited said there were several small stripers caught and released early.
Definitely not a boat day – no one left the docks.

If you’re looking for a place to fish today, how about striped bass in Wanchese Harbor.  I know there are fish around the fish houses and some of the docks – it’s worth a try.  Take a Kid Fishing….  Coolbreeze out
