Surf Fishing The OBX is considered one of the best surf fishing destinations in the U.S. Anglers cast right from the beach into deep troughs and sloughs where fish feed. Common catches: red drum (puppy drum and citation-size bulls), bluefish, Spanish mackerel, pompano, spot, croaker, and sea mullet. Fall is prime time for giant red drum, especially around Cape Point in Buxton. Pier Fishing Several iconic piers line the Outer Banks, including Avalon Pier, Nags Head Pier, Jennette’s Pier, and Rodanthe Pier. Piers allow you to fish deeper waters without a boat. Popular targets: king mackerel, cobia, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, sheepshead, flounder, and trout. Kings are often caught on “king rigs” with live bait balloons from the pier ends.
