In 2018 I spent a week down Cape Hatteras with my tin boat hoping to crab in Pamlico Sound. Dock in the VRBO we rented. IDEAL! NOT!

Huge weedless two foot deep flats devoid of anything. ANYTHING! In fact the tackle shop in town does not even sell crab bait.

I was blown away how poor the Sound side was. its almost 10 miles across, but poor on the eastern side

Yes my queen I do in fact suck. That is known. We fished the Miss Hatteras. Needed 16oz to get down with a heavy scope, consistently letting line out until you had a bite. They use small pieces of squid for bait. The locals who out fished everyone used small pieces of brined shrimp. You need a beefy rod that can handle heavy lead.
