Jan 3 Fishing Report from OBX - Some highlights below

NAGS HEAD — Winter striped-bass fishing has been robust on the Outer Banks since before Christmas. On Friday, it went through the roof.

At the fishing center, stories abounded about seeing wall-to-wall fish for miles, about catching two, three stripers at a time.

Hundreds who didn’t go out in boats took their gear to the beach to surf fish. Many drove onto the beach at dawn or dusk, when the stripers are known to follow bait fish to shore to feed.

But some anglers recently have been catching them as big as 48 inches and 50 pounds.

March/April sure does seem a loonngg time away.....
