My wife and I are going to Ocracoke over Easter weekend and plan to fish a lot. Surf fishing only. We thought about chartering a boat, but we'll have the dog with us, and she flips out and breaks stuff if we leave her locked up in a crate.
For experienced OBX fishermen - what kind of tackle should I take with me?
I've surf-fished a lot, but just use the two-hook leader with pyramid weight to fish on the bottom. I'd like a little more variety, maybe catch something bigger. What are some baits, lures, and different setups I should try? Flounder rig?
I've got 2 surf rods plus some lighter rods.
I don't want to wait until I get down there and then buy some random stuff like I usually do. Want to try to plan ahead this time.
We'll be in my Suburban, so will be able to travel the island to find where they are biting.
Thanks!
Richard
