CrappieAttitude Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Headed down to the northern Outer Banks (Corolla/Duck)) on Sunday. Plan to fish the beach several days and hit Avalon Pier at least once. Hoping to catch some sea mullet and redfish, maybe a black drum - I will also be trying out several new surf rods. Will post pics and reports hhager23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieAttitude Posted April 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Up early this morning - planning to throw some lures at first light. Walked outside and the wind was howling - grabbed my rod and walked to the top of the beach steps - turned around and walked back to the house. Drinking coffee now - maybe later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilotman Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Bit chilly this week....Weather wise, looks good till Friday. Structure. Not much where you are staying, Little Bridge, Oregon Inlet and the new pier there, cuts on the beach, the sound with deep areas and channels, the Point, ramp 38(small fish), 43,44,55....try to go where the fish are and not wait for the fish to come to you. Southern area of Ocracoke but that might be too far for you unless you wake up at 5am to get there before the crowd. Good luck and keep us posted.

CrappieAttitude Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Thx for the info - a little far for us to travel - headed to the Avalon Pier in about 25 minutes. Winds and ocean appear to be much calmer today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieAttitude Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 A good day on Avalon Pier - 40 whiting. Beer and fish fry on Wednesday! sbcbmx112, Old Hunter and hhager23 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieAttitude Posted April 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hit the beach this morning for about 3.5 hours. Waves pretty high but 3 oz. Sputniks held pretty well. Fish weren’t hungry - only 1 sea mullet/whiting and 1 small spot for our efforts. But it was a nice morning - enjoyed the sun, the company and watching all the birds. Back at it tomorrow. hhager23 and Old Hunter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrappieAttitude Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Final day of fishing - tried the surf again. Threw metal and lures for about 1 hour - nada. Tried bait and wait - just 1 medium-sized sea mullet/whiting. Tried out two new rods this trip - an 8’6” Ninja Dagger and an 8’ Blackhole ultra lite surf rod. Both did well but I was particularly impressed with the Blackhole ultra lite - it handled 1.5 - 2 ounces easily- good job Kil!! Heading home tomorrow AM - back in mid-October for a week - can’t wait!
