Outer Banks - Corolla

[vikesdad]

Thanks for the help. I thought there was decent action in the surf for croakers/kings. I will pass the information along.

Adults need a license. Look on line, you can do my the day/week. Never been checked but aint wort risking.

Plenty of fish right in the wash down there, spot, croaker, Sea mullet (kingfish to us...) baby black drum and pompano. Shrimp work well, as do Fish Bites strips. The Fish Bites stay on the hook really well.
All you need is a simple hi-lo rig with size 4 hooks and maybe 2 oz of lead.

Not sure how far down in the Outer Banks but last a contract accidentally cut a power cable going into some parts of OBX causing a mandatory evacuation of 20,000 people. Last I heard it was going to take a few weeks to get power back.

Corolla is safe! The outage affects Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, which are south of the Oregon Inlet. I was sweating that one out too, since I'll be going to OBX at the end of August.

a 9' rod might be a little much for kids. all you need to do is tie a high low rig with small gold hooks and throw some fishbites on there. until you can ruffle up some sand fleas which were plentiful when I was down in salvo a couple months back. 2oz max was all I need to hold bottom. weather is the biggest factor, if its calm should be pretty easy. when I was down there it was windy, everyday, all day, for a week so it was never really "kid fishable"

theres tackle shops all over the place down there and they were all really helpful with info especially when I described I was just looking to panfish with the kids.

edit: just realized I was pretty much parroting what GD said, he's spot on
