Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: suggestions on Outer Banks surf fishing

Yang,

My brother Bruce will be in Duck and I expect that he'll be fishing that part of the OBX too.

One of the ways I used to find fish on that part of the OBX was to cruise Route 12 and pull off at every place that I could cross the dune line.  I'd look for the feeding birds.  Generally, no birds present means no fish feeding.

All so, check the bait shops in the area and see who has the local information.  Follow the crowds of 4X4 on the beach.

I never fished the sound side there but I have heard it can be good.

Hello John:

Thanks for the information, very helpful! I plan to fish from Saturday to Monday, and the tide will change to noon time high tide at weekend. I have clouser with different colors except for the pink, will go to BPS tonight to find the pink bucktail. Never use a half and half, will to try to tie couple. I am going to try the DH rod for the oceanfront. The line is skagit line (floating), with floating, intermediate, and T8/T14 leaders.

John Smith recommended the south beach from Ferry/Coast Guard Station to Cape Hatteras Inlet in previous email. I may start from there and then fish the Oregon inlet on the way back. At this time of the year, should I focus on the ocean side or sound side?

Thanks again!

Yang,

I fished the SoObx for a number of year almost daily.  The attached link is a tide table.  That receding tide occurring at 9am is a good tide to fish..  Look for any tidal rips and or eddies and fish them.  Anywhere you see bait running hard, fish it.  Fishing an outgoing tide on an inlet is alot like fishing a river.  Clousers in pink, chart, blue, drk grn over white or a tutti-fruiti color, size 2 will work well.  A few surf candies are good too.  Through the years I found that a 3" fly will out produce a 4" or larger fly.  With being said, make sure you carry a Half and Half in Char/white.  If you run across a feed going on on menhaden, use it.  You might find a surface feed going on so carry a WF-F line and some poppers....that's alot of fun.  One thing, be careful.  The currents can be deadly especially if you're in waders.

Good luck,

John

Hey all:

I am planning to surf fish outer banks next weekend with my 9wt SH and 7wt DH, both equipped with floating, intermediate, and sinking line system. I also have surf rods but I'd rather use the fly rods if it is doable at this season. This will be my first time to surf fish there so I don't have specific target. Just hope I can get some actions. I wonder if anybody can give me some suggestions on season, location, fly shop, and flies? The tide of next weekend is morning and evening high tide.

Thanks!

Yang
