Outer Banks - 1.17.11 - Fish Still Biting (Boats on the Horizon)
Good morning. Here’s the Outer Banks Beach, Surf, & Fishing Report for Monday, January 17, 2011.
This video was shot at 9AM at the Avalon Pier in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
It’s a good start to the week. A bit overcast today, but the sun is trying to push through. A light wind at 10 mph out of the northeast, and temps are in the upper 40′s. Should be bright and sunny with temps in the 50′s for the next few days.
It was a good weekend with sun, almost no wind and temps in the upper 40′s. Saturday saw some fun, clean, waist-high surf. Waist-high swell coming through today, but no surf. Looks like we could have head-high clean surf all day tomorrow if the wind forecast holds up.
Fishing is still going off. It’s been over 2 weeks, and the rock fish (aka stripers, striped bass) are still on the OBX in full force. Got a report of a charter boat out of Oregon Inlet over the weekend that caught 100+ 15-30 pound stripers, and caught the boat’s limit by 8 AM on Saturday! The Outer Banks hasn’t seen fishing like this in quite a few years.
Great time for an OBX getaway!
Enjoy.
