Fishing Report Oct 2nd 2013

/in /by

The federal shutdown is having a significant impact on many OBX commercial operations, especially on Hatteras Island.  Cape Hatteras National Seashore is closed to the public.  Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is a park service concession and even though privately operated is forced to close.  OIFC charter captains have relocated their vessels to other venues to meet their charter obligations.  Beach accesses from Coquina Beach to Ocracoke have been chained off or blocked by the park service.  I’m saying it, you need to be made of tough stuff to live on Hatteras Island.  We tend to think what happens in D.C. doesn’t effect us much but I work for a business a couple hundred yards from the Wright Brothers Monument.  The park is most definitely closed and I know people who work there.  Not jumping on the soapbox but this political standoff is affecting too many citizens at a time when our economy is beginning to turn around for the good and now it’s starting to get in the way of my fishing.  Trust me, this is not a good thing.  Let me go back to my cave and chew on this awhile.

Fishing Report Oct 1st 2013

/in /by

The first day of Oct looks to be relatively pleasant.  The winds have dropped to less than 10 out of the N with sunny skies and a 0% chance if rain.  Sunset is at 6:48 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 6:57 am.
First tide is high at 5:13 am and a low at 11:22 am
Second tide is high at 5:25 pm and low at 11:50 pm

The really good news today is even though the government shutdown has closed down Cape Hatteras National Seashore to ORV’s.  Kill Devil Hills beaches are open and FREE to the public and vehicles.  We strongly suggest airing down your tires before driving on the beach to protect the access ramps from getting chewed by over inflated tires.

The piers report the water temp is hovering around 70 degrees and the surf is muddy.  Catches include puppy drum, spot croaker and sea mullet.

It’s Monday, the last day of Sept 2013 under cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain; winds are N 10-15, expected high of 75 degrees with sunset at 6:49pm and sunrise tomorrow is 6:57am.
First tide is high at 4:26am, low at 10:32 am
Second tide is high at 4:40pm and low is 11:12pm

Calling around to the piers, it’s a rough sea, the water is murky and 70 degrees.  Channel bass, aka “old drum” are the main topic on the planks.  Anglers with their heavers are slinging ” 8 and bait ” ( 8 ounces of lead with a candy bar sized chunk of fresh fish ) off the end of one of the local piers then waiting for the pick-up.  A reel starts to sing, the rod owner hardens up the drag, sets the hook and the dance begins.  It could be a shark or a ray, but they’re hoping for a big drum.  If it doesn’t break them off, the fish is worked into a waiting pier net and raised onto the pier deck.  Photos are taken for posterity and the fish is unceremoniously thrown back in the drink, hopefully to do it again another time.  This is a drum day, windy, rough, murky, generally snotty, those fish like these conditions.  If you have a decent spot you can fish the surf today, maybe you can hang some nice sea mullet or a puppy drum.  Sand fleas and fresh mullet would be my baits of choice.

Winds are going to start laying down today, come in and pick out some fresh finger mullet and Take a Kid Fishing.

For Sunday, Sept 29th, it’s still a little breezy out there but the wind is starting to drop out. High expected around 75 degrees, partly cloudy skies with less than 20% chance of rain. Sunset is 6:49 pm, sunrise tomorrow at 6:57 am. First tide is low at  9:36am am, high at 3:51pm pm Second tide is low at 10:32 pm

All the piers are telling me the ocean is rough and dirty and the water temp is about 70 degrees. Several large red drum have been caught and released from the pier ends. Bluefish, Spot and Crocker have been reported also. Conditions for surf fishing have been challenging at best with no reports yet.

Been out of town the last few days, consequently the fish report has been unavailable, but I’m back now and I’ll try to be more diligent. As always, Take a Kid Fishing. Coolbreeze out

Second tide is low at 6:00 pm and high is 11:39 pm

There have been some big red drum caught from the piers during that blow we had – jennettes had 5 yesterday.  Sea mullet ,nice ones, and several slot sized puppy drum have been taken also from the surf.  Chatting with Avalon pier this morning the staff saw a couple specks being carried off the beach north of the pier – is the trout run starting?  Shorter days, northeast winds and cooler temps are sending messages to the baitfish, puppy drum and speckled trout that it’s time to start heading south (running the gauntlet we call the Outer Banks).

No boat report – the boats didn’t make it out yesterday.

Should have some more fresh finger mullet tomorrow.  Be a hero, take a kid fishing!!!
