Fishing Report May 9th 2014

/in /by

Maybe spring has sprung.  Expect a high about 87 degrees, mostly sunny skies w/a 0% chance of rain, with SW winds 10 – 20 MPH. Sunset is around 7:55 PM and sunrise tomorrow at 6:02 AM.
First tide is a low at 3:37 AM with the high at 10:13 PM
Second tide is low at 4:14 PM and  high at 10:28 PM

“One fish, two fish, redfish, BLUEFISH”.  As in lots of bluefish, up and down the beach and from the piers.  Duck Pier posted the water temp at 57 degrees but Avalon reported a toasty 65.  Looking at the satellite imagery, the surf zone looks to be high 50s to low 60s.  Talking with Don at OBX Pier, yesterday, Dave, one of their regulars, caught a 36 inch striped bass.  We  have lots of different lures and tackle in the store to entice stripers but Dave hooked his WITH A SAND FLEA!!!  ARRRRGGHH!!!  Way to go Dave.
According the Red Drum Tackle fishing update, over 50 big drum were beached yesterday/last night at Cape Hatteras.  The weather window looks good for that bite to continue throughout this weekend.  The bad news – there is a closure and you have to hike down to the point.  The good news – it won’t be real crowded.

Fishing Report Tuesday May 6th 2013

Mostly cloudy today w/expected high about 66 degrees and winds NE 10 – 20 mph.  Sunset is 7:53 PM and tomorrow’s sunrise will be at 6:05 AM.
First tide is a high at 12:46 AM and a low at 7:25 AM
Second tide is high at 1:31 PM followed with the low at 7:38 PM

Yesterday when I checked the surf temp at Duck Research Pier it was posted at 50 degrees.  This morning when I looked it was 57 degrees.  Easterly winds make a big difference.  All the piers reported clean water conditions with bluefish being decked today plus a few sea mullet and spot mixed in.  Heard that propeller slough next to Oregon Inlet Fishing center was very productive for puppy drum yesterday.

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!!!
( as if we needed another reason to drink beer and margaritas around here )

It has only been a month since we’ve had a chance to update our blog/fishing report.  We have been a little under staffed this spring as we’ve been re-stocking the store getting ready for the transition from “slow” to “busy” and the FISH REPORT kind of fell to a lower priority.  The CREW here is gradually being increased so hopefully I will be more diligent about filing fishing updates.  Anyone interested in WORKING at a very busy store, come by and say “hi” and snag an application ( we’re also looking for someone experienced in fishing and tackle sales).

Beach and pier fishing on the northern beaches had an uptick in catching this past weekend with reports of spots, sea mullet, puffers and the occasional bluefish.  There were also several runs of nice slot-sized puppy drum reported from Oregon Inlet and points north.  Cape Hatteras has seen big red drum being landed.

Keep the faith.  TAKE A KID FISHING….   Coolbreeze out

Fishing Report April 7th 2014

Mostly overcast today with a significant chance of  rain.  Expect a high around 67 degrees with a mostly south wind 20 -30 MPH.  Sunset will be at 7:28 PM and sunrise tomorrow is at 6:41 AM.
First tide is high at 1:35 AM with the low at 8:20 AM
Second tide is high at  2:12 PM with the low at 8:22 pm

I’ve accepted that it will never be summer again.  The water will warm up by September just in time for the first hurricane to make landfall at Hatteras and then shoot up the sounds and turn Va Beach into the northern end of the OBX……. or not!!!
Duck Pier has posted the water temp at 50 degrees.  Satellite imagery shows the water temps on the south side of Hatteras Island in the low to mid 60s – there were good reports of nice sea mullets with some blow toads  over the weekend down there.  Who knows, it might even happen up here one day.
