Incredible Striper Fishing in the Outer Banks

[american spirit]

the only thing i think about when someone mentions fishing in north carolina is that video that was posted on this site with the nets being pulled on shore with hundreds of stripers on it. i'm sure there are more sportsmen down there. 70 fish in one day....... they must have serious tendinitis from reeling them in.

Interesting... the only thing I think about is "how many of those fish are actually coming from outside the 3-mile mark?"

No need for anyone to run outside 3 miles.. It's loaded from 1/4 mile off the beach to the 3 mile line.. The only sad thing is it's the least amount if pogies I've ever seen.. Lot of bass are feeding on schools of croakers... Although plenty schools you can find on your own, the recs are doing a number on Em, the fleet can consist of hundreds of boats and yes it's the recs slaughtering Em there.. Never seen c&r down there... It's all about the meat!

Not at all, we had 2 guys jig 30 bass in less than an hour down there to 36lbs... I know guys were drifting for hours down there, couldn't count the fish caught..

4 min/fish? thats some lock and drop fishing!

Shame about the lack of C&R. Especially pre-spwan....
