Fishing Overview

Outer Banks of North Carolina Fishing Overview Plan ahead for your targeted species or check out what’s biting when you’ll be on the Outer Banks. All information herein was compiled from interviews with experienced Oregon Inlet captains, and is meant to be used as a guideline only. We have taken great care to give an idea of the best times to catch certain species of fish; this is not a guarantee of catch either fishing privately or with any charter vessel from Oregon Inlet.
January Offshore
Yellow fin tuna can be caught out of Oregon Inlet and the giant blue fin continue their run.
Inshore & Wrecks
Knot head sea bass on the wrecks. Inshore fishing is not great, though a king mackerel or two may be caught.
Sounds
Sound fishing for striped bass is great!
Beaches & Piers
Not much action on the piers & beaches this time of year.
February Offshore
Yellow fin tuna and giant blue fin tuna.
Inshore & Wrecks
The chances for a big blue fish inshore are getting better. Sea bass fishing on the wrecks is excellent.
Sounds
Striped bass in the sound.
Beaches& Piers
Not much action here yet.
March Offshore
Yellow fin tuna. Giant blue fin tuna.
Inshore & Wrecks
King mackerel and big blue fish fishing is good off of Oregon Inlet. Wreck fishing for sea bass is great.
Sounds
Rockfish (striped bass) are prevalent in the sounds and are great fishing on light tackle.
Beaches & Piers
Red Drum (Channel Bass) start to move up the coast off of Hatteras.

April Offshore
Yellow fin tuna run begins in earnest. With the warm water concentrated on the edge yellow fin can be caught in great numbers if not in great size. These fish are in the 30 to 50 pound range. Giant blue fin run historically ends April 1st.
Inshore & Wrecks
Whiting are a great catch inshore. Big blue fish are a good catch on an inshore trip. 1989 was a banner year for inshore bluefish. King mackerel fishing inshore picks up in earnest.
Sounds
Rockfish are a great catch in the sounds.
Beaches & Piers
Peak run for Red Drum in the season. The bite off of Hatteras Inlet is the best in the world. Small blue fish and puppy drum are great catches off the beaches at Oregon Inlet. At the end of April speckled and gray trout, croaker and flounder are available to pier fishermen and begin to move into the surf. The 1970’s and 80’s produced bluefish “Blitz” on the beach…experts say the warm winter this year will promote the same action.

May Offshore
Yellow fin are again the best catch in May although they are now increasing in size to the 30 to 80 pound range. Great numbers of catches are the norm with most boats reaching their “limits” set by the charter associations. Sailfish and blue marlin begin to be seen (and caught!). The dolphin arrive in mid -May as weed lines begin to form in the stream. Peanut dolphin are a great catch, good eating, and a fight enjoyable even for the smallest angler.
Inshore & Wrecks
King Mackerel fishing peaks inshore. Taylor blues and Spanish mackerel begin their run which continues until fall. Wrecks produce amberjack, jack crevalle, and sea bass.
Sounds
Drift fishing for flounder, and cobia begin to move in.
Beaches & Piers
Taylor blues move into the beach in abundance, in addition to pompano, and Spanish mackerel. Pier fishermen also catch large spot, croaker and speckled trout.

June Offshore
Large yellow fin are still available in great numbers through late - June when the water begins to get hot in the stream. Blue marlin and sailfish are being caught, the bite now is scattered but strong. June 1 is the locals’ official start of billfish season. Large bull dolphin are beginning to gather on the weed lines. 1994 produced a strong wahoo bite beginning in late May/early June that continued to produce throughout the summer. June has traditionally produced fine catches of blue fin tuna and big -eye tuna, although there has been no real consistency in the timing of these fish.
Inshore & Wrecks
Taylor blues and Spanish mackerel begin to peak this month. Live bait fishing on wrecks and on the towers is at it’s finest in June.
Sounds
Sound and inlet fishing for cobia begins. Flounder fishing is still good.
Beaches & Piers
The surf produces the best taylor blue fishing and sight casting for cobia from the piers. Live baiting from the piers for king mackerel produces some nice fish.

July Offshore
Large bull dolphin are a great catch in July. They congregate on weed lines, debris and lobster pot buoys and produce a good fight on light tackle. July 1994 was a great month for big blue marlin with quite a few catches in the 900 pound range. Billfish to include sails, and whites are also prevalent in July.
Inshore & Wrecks
Taylor blues and Spanish mackerel fishing peaks in July. Wrecks produce abundant catches of triggerfish, sea bass, tile fish, snapper, pompano, and an occasional grouper. Excellent headboat fishing!
Sounds
The pilings around any of our Soundside bridges attract sheapshead, a great catch for eating! Tarpon fishing kicks off in July and light tackle enthusiasts work to put this fishery on the map with 43 releases in 1993.
Beaches & Piers
Early AM and late PM fishing from the beach will produce Spanish mackerel in abundance; flounder and speckled trout fishing from surf or pier is excellent. Pompano fishing from the piers is also very good in July.
August Offshore
On or around the full moon this month is blue marlin time. 3 granders have been caught out of Oregon Inlet in the last few years and the state record, 1142 pounds, was caught at this time in 1974. 1987 produced 4 blues in the 900 pound range and more big blues the smallest of which was 758 pounds. White marlin and sailfish fishing gets hot in August with great numbers on light tackle. The 1996 season was marked by a two -week white marlin bite with over 150 releases on great days! Wahoo, dolphin, and tuna can all be caught in August, although the latter is less prevalent as the water is still warm.
Inshore & Wrecks
Same as July. 1/2 day inshore trips are great for families, as small children can enjoy fighting it out with a taylor blue or Spanish mackerel!
Sounds
Mid - August marks the peak of tarpon fishing in the sound. August 1994 produced notable catches such as many 100+ pound tarpon releases off of 12 lb. test! Sheapshead fishing is excellent in August.
Beaches & Piers
Same as July. Remember to fish early and late as the water is hot mid -day!
September Offshore
White marlin heaven right out of Oregon Inlet in September. 1993 produced 150 and 160 white releases per day. There were 1,673 white marlin releases in 1993. The state record, 118 lbs. 8 oz., was caught at this time in 1976. The blue marlin bite is still good at this time. Dolphin fishing begins to slack off as weed lines separate toward the end of the month. Wahoo are still a good catch. Tuna fishing picks up in numbers and sizes of fish are still good.
Inshore & Wrecks
King mackerel fishing inshore begins to pick up again, and taylors and spanish are still a reliable catch. Live bait fishing for kings, cobia and amberjack is excellent. Sea bass fishing on the wrecks is great.
Sounds
Sounds produce great catches of speckled trout.
Beaches & Piers
On the piers and from the surf the variety in September is the best! Spanish, pompano, king mackerel, cobia, amberjack, and the beginning of speckled trout and red drum runs.
October Offshore
Billfishing is still good, although fish are not as concentrated. Yellow fin fishing is great as numbers increase and sizes begin to decrease. Mid -October has, in the past, produced a strong big -eye bite, although there is no real consistency to the time of year the big -eyes show up.
Inshore & Wrecks
King mackerel and big bluefish begin to peak again and the wrecks produce knot head sea bass.
Sounds
Fishing for striped bass begins again and catches are great throughout the winter. Speckled trout fishing in the sound peaks.
Beaches & Piers
Beach and pier fishing for kings and speckled trout peak. Large red drum and big blue fish hit the beach toward the end of the month.
November Offshore
Yellow fin tuna fishing hits a peak and levels out for the rest of the winter. Winter yellow fin fishing produces fish in the 20 - 30 pound class; large (70 pound) fish are usually the exception not the rule. A past big -eye bite at this time of year has been recorded.
Inshore & Wrecks
King mackerel and big blue fish hit their peak this month. Sea Bass on the wrecks are again a great catch.
Sounds
Striped bass fishing near the bridges in the Sounds is the best.
Beaches & Piers
Red drum and big blues continue to migrate south along our beaches and piers.

December Offshore
Yellow fin tuna fishing is still great. Historically, the giant blue fin move off our coast right around Christmas. These heavy fish tested angling abilities in winter 1994 -95 with releases of 10 and 20 per boat per day!
Inshore & Wrecks
Inshore fishing for kings and big blues is still good. Wreck fishing for knot head sea bass is great! (Great eating too!)
Sounds

Beaches & Piers
Not much action here this month.
