OBX Fishing at a Glance

Fishing on the Outer Banks is a dream come true for most sport fishermen. It should be noted that you may need a Coastal Recreational Fishing License to fish here. After that, you may want to visit a local bait and tackle shop such as T.W’s Bait & Tackle or Bob’s Bait & Tackle. You can even rent fishing gear if you don’t want to go through the hassle of bringing your own. Pros of the fishing business, especially when it comes to the Outer Banks, these bait and tackle shops are sure to have everything you’ll need. 

What You Need to Know about Pier Fishing 

Pier fishing provides an inexpensive way to cast a line in deeper waters without renting or bringing a boat. They’re also great for teaching your kids about saltwater fishing. Luckily, there are several piers from which to choose on the Outer Banks, so hopefully, you won’t have to worry about them being too crowded. Here’s a list of a few fish you may reel in during your Outer Banks Vacation:

  • Croaker
  • Spanish Mackerel
  • Bluefish
  • Spot
  • Sheepshead
  • Cobia
  • Flounder

If you’re unfamiliar with the area, you may want to ask a local bait shop what’s in season and what’s the best time to cast a line, or you can do a little research of your own

Cast a Line near Your OBX Beach House

OBX fishing is excellent for a couple’s weekend, a solo retreat, or a beach house vacation the whole family can enjoy. Sitting out on the pier with an angler in the water, the sun warming your face, and a beverage of your choice in hand is exactly what you need to relax from the hustle and bustle of your daily life. Atlantic Realty Outer Banks vacation rentals offer an array of oceanfront rentals (some of which are even pet-friendly!) that make for an excellent fishing-trip stay.

The Outer Banks is an active biking community, so you’ll frequently see neon yellow signs reading, “Bicycles- Share the Road” along busy roads such as NC 12, US 264, US 64, and US 158. These trails are slightly wider than the shoreline trails because more experienced cyclists travel quicker and may pass fellow riders.
