Headed to the Outer Banks of NC for the week. What are my best bets to put som fish on the dinner table? I'm taking a 6.5' and 7' St.croix, med action rod, with spinning reels. Any Advice is appreciated. Not sure what i'll catch but there's good fishing there i know. It's a family Vacation so i'll be fishing from the beach, jetties or piers i'm guessing. Or in the sound.

sounds like a good time steve...I plan on doing some fishing this weekend as well...'luck to you sir and enjoy!

Bluefish, Stripers, Speckled trout. Beach fishing in the outer banks is world class. Action can be downright crazy at times.

Do i need a "Surf Rod"? Up here in Jerzy i fish the jetties a bit, and bridges, never fish off the beach though.

You need to get something that will fling a heavy weight (5-7 oz.) a good ways. I was out there last week and we caught big blues on cut bait. A few in my party caught them on stingsilvers, but I caught all of mine on cut bait. The 'ol spaniards should be starting to bite. Make sure you have plenty of stingsilvers. Also, which part of the outer banks are you headed to?

Will be in corolla area

Sorry, but i dont know where corolla is.

I just got back from the Outer Banks and I was in the Avon area. Good luck fishing because there is a lot of beach, and much of the sound, that has been closed down to protect a few birds that won't survive another 5 years on the island no matter what humans do. I would bring your smaller rods because that is what I had success with. The best fish I caught that week, a 27" red drum, was caught on a 9" rod with a spinning reel. Most stuff was caught using Mullet. Good luck!
