Any other wind directions are transitional winds and short lived. Each blows hard with an approaching and passing front. There are two prevailing wind direction on the OBX, SW and NE. My first fish on fly in OBX!Īnd so goes a trip to the OBX. Fished the southeast jetty in the afternoon, and finally landedĪ baby speckled trout on fly. Asked around, only one guy caught a flounder in the Waded to propeller slough around noon time high I also missed a blue fish bite on my fly at the southwest I was exhausted and missed the first light The campers left after the disaster and I ended up sleeping in my car Site and the situation of other tents were not better than mine. I drove back to theĬampground, but I couldn't find my tent! It was rolled over to other Wind came and brought a heavy thunderstorm. I need more D-days :-( One hour later, the 20 mph northeast I decided to use the DH rod and soon I found my DH skillsĬouldn't deal well with the condition, strong wind and very slowĬurrent. After I set up the tent in OregonĬampground, I drove back and forth the Bonner bridge and then decided It is my duty to report this trip to appreciate everybody's help here.Īrrived at OBX at Saturday afternoon. Typical sound side water for trout and reds. Park along the fence way opposite the light house and take the gravel road about a half mile to the water. One other place to try if you are staying down Nags Head direction is the slough behind the Bodie Island Light House. We are going down in only one car this year (my canoe is staying home) but we might can arrange to fish some together.
If you are there for more than the weekend give me a call on the number below. I will be fishing mainly in Duck in the surf. A storm some years back took a great deal of the beach leaving access almost only at low tide. You might ask at the Marina store about the condition of the drive down the beach. The north side of the inlet is accessible via 4WD from the campground opposite the marina. Would probably work well with the two handed rod. The mouth of the inlet on the south side had some pretty good rips for stripers when last I was there. Out from there and around the rocks (in front of the old CG station) there are often some trout (John and I almost choked an egret one day feeding him small trout from that area). If you arrive at the south end of the Oregon Inlet bridge around sunrise I have always found some smaller stripers where the water first comes under the bridge. timeshare week in Duck and have been down often. Will be at Duck Saturday Morning for a week. Anyway, I am leaving Friday PM heading for OBX at Duck, NC. Although usually the right wind direction for good fishing is right in your face when casting!! Hope this gives you some ideas whenever you do head down. I agree that this time of year might not be best for fly fishing but if you get the right wind direction and the surf temp warms up you can still catch em. Be careful at these spots. I dont think the stripers have arrived in force down in NC yet, but this time of year you can get into bluefish if the conditions are right. This is one of the few spots i know of where you can fly fish from shore for albies. Two other fly fishing spots are the south side of the Oregon Inlet Bridge (if it is open)-you can wade out a bit on both the ocean side and sound side before the drop off-look to see where others are standing. That beach access is terrific Sept to early Nov for bluefish and even false albacore. The other Coast Guard station i mentioned is all the way down Hatteras Island at the Ferry Docks for the ferry over to Ocracoke. Again, i like April-May the best and have done well on stripers and specks here. The spot i mentioned at the Coast Guard station near the boat ramp at Oregon Inlet leads to the same creek as the one behind Bodie Lighthouse just closer to the inlet. This is a great spot in April-May for speckled trout. Their is a gated access road off the paved entrance road that leads to this creek. Deepwater, sure thing- the spot behind Bodie Island is Blossie Creek i think.
