Fishing Report: 9/7/13
Feeling a little fallish on Sept. 7th – expect a high of 78 under sunny skies with light NE winds of 10 mph or less and a 0% chance of rain. This is a great day to live on the OBX. Sunset tonight is at 7:23 with sunrise tomorrow at 6:39.
First tide is low at 2:58 am, high at 9:06 am
Second tide is low at 3:24 pm, high at 9:17 pm
Surf is 74-76 degrees and slightly dirty. Several of the piers are reporting puppy drum this morning with many inside the slot. With a day like this catching fish is just “gravy”! Avalon pier reports catching lots of nice spot. Sea mullet are everywhere, come on and get you some.
The inshore and nearshore crews are finding spanish, bluefish, triggerfish, cobia, drum and speckles.
Jerry at Fishing Unlimited said they saw several flounder caught (at least one keeper), some sheepshead and croaker also.
White marlin fishing has been WHITE HOT. Pound for pound, this is the one of the most dramatic sport fish you will ever encounter, and we’re talking about right here off the outer banks. If you’re not into the show, you can opt for the meat and chase down tuna or mahi. Whatever you choose, it’s all good.
Go for the gusto, take a kid fishing!!! Coolbreeze out
Fishing Report: 9/6/13
This is what we have to look forward to for Friday, Aug. 6th. Cooler today, high around 80, winds from the NE 15-20 and partly cloudy with a 0% chance of rain. Sunset tonight at 7:25 pm, sunrise tomorrow at 6:38 am. Because of the NE winds, the ocean will be choppy and rough with water temps in the mid to high 70s.
First tide is low at 2:22 am, high 8:27 am
Second tide is low at 3:42 pm, high 8:38 pm
Already pretty rough for surf fishing but the piers are taking advantage of the catching. Jennette’s reported there were a few fishermen out decking some bluefish, spot and even a couple triggers today. It might be a good day to fish on the south beach of Hatteras Island.
Gary B at the little bridge said fishing was a little slow this morning but they had seen some small rockfish (striped bass), puppy drum and speckled being thrown back earlier this morning.
First call to the fishing center this morning indicated that the offshore boats were going out – multiple white marlin were caught and released and the meat hunters decked plenty of tuna and mahi-mahi.
Make the day happen – Take a kid fishing! Coolbreeze out
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
Fishing Report: 9/3/13
September 3rd calls for a high of 82 degrees and a 50% chance of rain. Winds will be SW at 10-15 mph. Sunset tonight is 7:29 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 6:36 am. Piers are calling the ocean water temperature at 72-74 degrees.
First tide is low at 12:38 am, high at 6:33 am

Checking with the piers, the seas are flat and the water is not as dirty as yesterday. Fishing is a little slow with some bluefish and sea mullet. Nags Head had a couple large sheepshead.
Inshore boats stayed at the docks yesterday, haven’t heard their status today.
Offshore fishing is still a hot ticket for white marlin in multiple numbers. Mahi-mahi and tunas are filling the fish boxes.
Surf fishermen around Oregon Inlet are finding a decent puppy drum bite using fresh mullet.
Stop by the shop and let us know how you’re doing. As always, Take a kid fishing! Coolbreeze out

The weather this weekend looks pretty comfortable. Today’s high should be around 80 with 0% chance of rain.

Piers are reporting clean water with fair catches of sea mullet and bluefish and some spot. Jennette’s said they have some pompano and sand perch in the mix. If you’re interested in catching a white marlin the offshore action is white hot right now. Decent catches of mahi-mahi and tuna help to fill the fish box. Speck and puppy drum action in the sound is picking up at select locations.
Be a hero, take a kid fishing this holiday!!! Coolbreeze out
