Outer Banks Angling: A little action

March 13, 2015 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

It’s always nice to have a little to report after such a harsh winter.  I always try and emphasize that I recognize that while our winter was very cold, others had it much worse. The winters on the Outer Banks are always a little tough, especially when it is unpleasant outside. Businesses are closed or […]

Outer Banks Angling: It’s winter

February 27, 2015 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

It’s safe to say that a full-blown winter found the Outer Banks this year. While the area saw more snowfall last year, this year has been one of the coldest and has broken records in the temperature category. Even as I write this, we barely missed being hit by a considerable snow storm and lucked […]

Outer Banks Angling: A wooden stake

February 18, 2015 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

The title of this column may imply that I am going to be talking about how to bring down a mythical creature of the night, but I am not. Last week the Outer Banks experienced a typical winter nor’easter. It was cold, wet and very windy. The wind generated a large ocean swell, and that […]

Outer Banks Angling: Striped gold…WITH VIDEO

February 2, 2015 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

Anyone who was around the Outer Banks from the turn of the century through 2008 would have seen an absolute melee every winter. Anglers came from all around to join the local crowd to chase striped bass. The fishery was hot and so was the winter money that came with it. Rental companies, motels, restaurants, […]

Outer Banks Angling: Getting jiggy

January 19, 2015 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

Winter is finally in full swing on the Outer Banks. The air is cold, the water is cold, and the fishing is mostly slow. But, because the weather has turned, doesn’t mean the fishing has completely shut down. I had a chance to get offshore and chase some blackfin tuna on butterfly jigs. This particular […]

Outer Banks Angling: A wicked good time

December 31, 2014 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

The end of another year is finally upon us and what a great year it was. Overall, 2014 provided some great fishing. A variety of species were caught and provided tons of entertainment for all. If you ask inshore fishermen, they might even refer to 2014 as the year of the drum. What an incredible […]

Outer Banks Angling: ‘Tis the season

December 17, 2014 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

Fishing remained mighty fair through the end of November and the beginning of this month. Now we are well into December, and we have begun to hit that point where the fishing tends to slow down. In the first week or so of this month, the Outer Banks saw a northeaster and a dwindling number […]

Outer Banks Angling: Deep Freeze

November 21, 2014 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

In true Outer Banks fashion, someone threw a switch and the weather took a hard turn to cold. Any local resident or frequent visitor can tell you that the weather around here can go from one extreme to another in the blink of an eye—and that’s exactly what has happened. After having had a mild […]

2014 has been an absolutely stellar year for red drum fishing. Red drum of all sizes have been caught all year. Whether it was cold and snowing or it was sunny and beautiful, finding a red drum in a fishing report has not been hard. Everyone has noticed the overwhelming puppy drum population in the […]

Outer Banks Angling: Catch them while you can

October 20, 2014 | Fishing | By: Rob Alderman

Fall is in full swing, and the fishing is quite good. October is known for its cooler temps, less traffic, and fishing tournaments. It only makes sense that the fishing gets better also. The drum bite has been really good of late from one end of the Outer Banks to the other. There has been […]
