Duck research pier posted the water temp this morning at a nipply 59 degrees – We’re talking severe shrinkage here. The other northern OBX piers are listing similar chilly temps in the low 60s. This cold, muddy, water condition definitely puts a damper on our local beach and pier fishing. AND THE GOOD NEWS – expect a sea change Wed nite and Thurs as the wind swings around to the N-NE. If you don’t like the weather around here, just wait a little while, it will accommodate ( not always the way you like ). Meanwhile if you head south of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, warmer water can be had at the expense of a short drive.
BE A HERO, TAKE A KID FISHING !!!
