Fishing on the Outer Banks over the past few weeks has been on the good to great side. In the sound , the Trout fishing has been hot in certain spots on certain tides. Spot and Croaker have been fair, but not any big fish over a pound yet. The Flounder have been on the small side, but a few nice ones over 20" have gone in the cooler. Around the bridge, Sheepshead, Triggerfish, and Black Drum are still being caught, mostly at slack tide. Outside the inlet, Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel are still the hottest bite going on. Most of the Cobia have move north, but a few are still hanging around. Offshore, it's either in the meat or no meat. The billfish bite has been very good. Now all we need is for the wind to stop blowing 20mph every afternoon. Thanks to all who have fished with me over the past few weeks. Sorry for taking so long to post photos.

Thanks, Ray
