Fishing the Outer Banks

I need a little advise. I have a family vacation planned to the Outer
Banks in June. We are staying in Duck. I have heard from locals (the
tackle shop on Rt. 12 in Duck) the fishing in Currituck Sound is not
very productive. Does anyone have any suggestions on where the fishing
might be better? I don't need anyone's GPS coordinates or anything,
just a little guidance.

There are a few options but keep in mind that without a boat flyfishing
on the Outer Banks can be quite humbling,particulary the surf.The area
that Iam somewhat familiar with is a bit south of Duck,its about a 45
drive to the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center,park in the far parking lot
and look for a huge ships propeller.Wade in just about exactly where the
propeller is ...There are a few holes in the area that can produce some
action ,blues,pompano,lizard fish ,trout and some surprises can be
had..Look for other fisherman in the area and ask questions ..
Have fun... JC

Give the west end of Manns Harbor Bridge a try if you are wading. If
you want a great half-day charter at low cost for fly fishing, try
Capt. Dave Dudley. If you want to try spinning tackle, let him take
you outside and pick up on some of those 50 lb. stripers they are
getting now. Some of the folks in the office are heading down Monday
to try for the ocean side Rock.

The largest release we had a couple of weeks ago was 28 pounds. I must
admit they were one after another for the four hours that we lasted. The
fisherman from the beaches were landing the occassional fish with one
landing a 48 pounder. My bud's house is in the sound located about a 1/2
mile behind the oregon inlet marina. The logjams at the marina were unheard
of for this time of year. We have landed a few fish in the Cape Fear river
here in Wilmington but nothing like the fishing north of hear at the Banks.

and greetings to you to Willi. Have been back in Wilmington at home and
sal****er fishing. Am looking forward to the western conclave this summer.
Hope to see you there. I even found about twenty pics of the first western
conclave on my desktop that I have never forwarded to Warren. I sent him an
email but not sure if I had a good email address. As soon as I hear from
him I will forward them to him.

Leaving for the OBX in an hour. Poacher is gassed up and ready to Rock!!!
I tied up a couple of 12" long Blue-back Herring flys last night for the 50
pounders they are pulling in out on the ocean side.

Wind got up behind the cold front and blew like an SOB. Only a couple of
boats got out and only one of them had any luck. Ours was not one of them.
At noon yesterday our capt. (boat was the Poacher)called to say it would be
a no-go for the day. We had hoped for an afternoon trip since the all-day
was scrubbed. Water on the beach was muddy for 1000' out. The Sound looked
like the Mississippi on a bad day. Looks like things settled down last
night and this afternoon's boats did well. Catch the wind right and this
week will be a killer on big stripers.
