Next Few Days

[garlien]

Hopefully today starts off a good string of fishing for me...

Going to search above the bridge for breakers again this evening, last time out I came across a really nice school of 22 to 28 inchers breaking in Belvedere....

Friday I head to Chincoteague for a day of shark fishing with my oldest son and some other friends...

Then I head out to Hatteras and a week of fishing on the sound...Hoping to fish the Bonner Bridge and Hatteras Inlet....If anyone has any suggestions on good places and or techniques, I am all ears...My experience on the sound has been about 10 to 14 days total lifetime...

Will report in as soon as I have some news...(hopefully good news)

Have fun Mike! Are you taking a boat or looking to charter? Have a good friend that runs charters out of Hatteras inlet (offshore) and also have another friend that runs charters out of Oregon inlet, offshore as well and you have seen him on wicked tuna. If your taking a boat, Spanish maks at Oregon and Hatteras inlets or cruise just outside the breakers for cobias cruising down the current and cast live bait, eels, small blue crab, mullet at them or you can use bucktails. Another fun thing to do down there is walk the shallows at nite with a good spot lite and gig for flounder, most of the biggens are taken that way. Whatever your plans you are in a Fishermans paradise, next to the keys of course! Good luck and have fun with the family. If you need any contacts give me a shout and I'll set you up!

Mako Mike- who are your contacts for offshore charters in OBX. I'm looking to book a boat the last week in September.

Rudden,
Man you couldn't pick a better week to be in OBX as far as offshore fishing goes. That time of year is great for blue and white Marlin, wahoo and of course the tunas. Only setback could be weather, late September is prime time for hurricanes and tropical storms otherwise fishing usually is off the hook!
As far as contacts here they are:
Hatteras
Capt. John (Jersey)
Reliance sport fishing
252-996-0002
Oregon inlet
Capt. Greg
Fishing Frenzy
Yup from wicked tuna
252-216-9034
If you book a trip at Oregon inlet fishing center, walk the docks and talk directly to the captains and mates to book. May save you some money. Fishing center used to add a booking fee, not sure if they still do.
Good luck and enjoy your stay in OBX. Both of these captains are great guys with several years experience.
If in Hatteras village stop by Sonnys for breakfast or lunch. Leanne is one of the owners and is also Jerseys wife.

Thank you Mike! Yea we are excited to be there that time of year due to the variety of possibilities. I tried to book FIN AGAIN out of teach's but he will be out of town that week. Why are the rates cheaper out of hatteras vs oregon inlet? It's several hundred in difference.

They have to run further out of OI to get to "the promise land" so I'm sure it's to cover their fuel/time.
