Seaside Vacations

Outer Banks

• Winds have been limiting offshore fishing, but there are plenty of yellowfin tuna if/when you can get out.  Also available are blackfin tuna, wahoo, a few dolphin and scattered billfish.
• Wreck anglers are finding snapper, grouper, tilefish and triggerfish.
• Along the coast, big red drum offer the best chance.
• Inshore, look for speckled trout and puppy drum around deep marsh shorelines.

Pier & Surf

• Speckled trout, small striper, bluefish and puppy drum are making up most of the catches along the Outer Banks. The exception is that anglers working near the Point at Buxton can always expect the possibility of a run of big reds or bluefish.
