Morning folks!
I’ve been talking to my experienced locals here. Word on the street is that the last couple days here they are still catching fish, but it’s a not for the weak. If you are not very mobile this kind of fishing may not be for you.
This is the time of year the OG’s , the old salt’s are out there relying on their hard earned knowledge of the OBX beaches to provide them a good meal or just some quality time to themselves and let some fish go just content to have caught some when no one else is catching any.
So my advice to the younger generation of fishermen is put the time in get out there and be prepared for anything. Some days just look for the old guy standing in the surf making countless casts all by himself with one rod and chances are you might get to see how it’s really done. Be respectful and take the opportunity for a lesson from a master of his craft. Just watch and learn because depending on the Old Salt, if you jump out and run up and start fishing on top of them he might just walk away in silence and leave. You might just get EATEN so to be safe just give these guy’s or girls there respect and space they have earned.
The fish gods love good karma so it’s a win win for everyone. As always folks any chance you get take a kid fishing do it. Also the fish gods smile every time a person takes the time to pick up a little beach trash.
