Three Piers are Now Open

On Thursday 14 April marked a spring milestone on the Outer Banks. The Outer Banks Fishing pier opened for the season. The Avalon Pier began the process on 02 April, followed by the Nags Head Pier on 12 April and now Thursday’s  opening of  Outer Banks pier. So now there are “three commercial piers open for business”.

One mainstay – the Old Kitty Hawk Pier – Hilton Gardens Hotel stays open year round.

WOW.  What a change from just several days ago. Water temps jumped from the upper 40’s to 57 degrees on 15 April.

Pier access fees have increased slightly but still a bargain. Especially for those who have travel maneuvering the surf beaches. These piers can supply you everything you need to make you day fun!

Reports of sea mullet, small croaker, dogfish and plenty of skates on the northern banks typically knock the cobwebs out of the hardened angler.

Drum are showing up on Hatteras and other southern beaches.

Remember – no speckled trout fishing. The NCDMF closed this fishery due the major cold snap earlier this year. Watch for more news here but it appears 15 June is still the re-start of this fishery.

Tightlines.
