OBX Fishing Report

Outer Banks Trip

went to outer banks last april. awesome time. fishing was slow

i was hopping to get some reds and sea trout but water was only 50 degrees. i wish i brought my freshwater gear.

found a small pond near the house we were staying at. caught a few nice bass nothing huge. luckily it was warm so i could wade. had only light tackle saltwater. the heddon spooks were the hot lure and a gold redfish chatter bait.

caught a few bass biggest 2.5lbs. missed a huge bass that smoked a red head zara spook.. took me into some trees. the tree was next to me. i was thinking of going swiming for it but i dont know what kinds of turtles and snakes live here.
saw a huge gar come up after my spook. never had the fish, as it missed the bait.
i drove 20 miles to a fish peir a few times. the big skates were bitting good, but i wanted a new fish. a few days later i finaly caught some puffer fish.

these fish were really cool. they made a weird noise when you caught them. you had to rub their belly to blow em up.
