Saltwater Fishing
Best Seasons Spring – Bluefish, sea mullet, and early trout. Summer – Spanish mackerel, cobia, mahi, billfish offshore. Fall – Red drum runs, speckled trout, striped bass, and excellent tuna offshore. Winter – Striped bass (depending on migration patterns) and specks in the sounds. Why the Outer Banks are Special The unique geography, where the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador Current, creates nutrient-rich waters that attract massive schools of baitfish and, in turn, predators. It’s one of the only U.S. spots where anglers regularly catch 100+ lb red drum from the surf. There’s a deep-rooted fishing culture, from old-time surfcasters to modern charter captains, that makes it feel authentic and historic.
