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

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
