I've fished up and down the East Coast, and the Gulf Coast of
Florida. My dearesr memories and most treasured days were spent on the
piers of the Outer Banks. I remember one fine Autumn day in September
1981 or 1982, when the water was pretty blue all the way into the beach
and the menhaden were right in the surf and the Kings were right after
them! There were actually Kings skying in the breakers! There were 22
or 23 Kings actually landed on the Nags Head Pier, many more lost, of
course, and several cobia caught as well. I've never seen it like that
before or since. If you can top that, I'd like to hear about it!

My family enjoys going to the outer banks every year to go fishing.
They have been going to an island that allowed atvs on the beach. But,
the island was considerably damaged by hurrican Isabele. Can you
recommend any other beaches in the area that allow atvs on the beach.
Thanks for your help!!!

Okay, there are certain places you have to go for certain things to
eat on the Outer Banks. HURRICANE MO'S for the best steamed oysters
ever (beer and wine only)! CAPT'N FRANKS for the best hot dogs! CLARA'S
for the absolute best ever she-crab soup! DAIRY MART for the best
hamburger you will ever put in your mouth (outside dining only!)
ELIZABETH'S CAFE all around yummy! For great tuna taco's, it's gotta be
GOOMBAY'S. JOHN'S DRIVE IN for tuna boats with fried okra and don't
forget the peanut butter milkshakes (outside dining only!) THE OASIS:
you have to go get the BELLRINGERS! Raw oyster on a saltine cracker
with horseradish, hot sauce and a jalapeno; a buck a piece. Your nasal
passages will be clear for weeks. My record is six. If Mark makes them;
I can only do three. THAI ROOM for the sauteed soft shells. We lived on
the Outer Banks for nearly 10 years but go back at least twice a year.
Just got back from our 11 days during Easter 99. Had a wonde! rful time

This summer when visiting Ocracoke you should check out the Miss
Ocracoke charter and the Cockle Creek Restaurant. The Miss Ocracoke is
run by Stephen Wilson, my cousin. He is a true island native and his
fishing trips are always exciting. I will be working at the "box" on
the shore taking reservations. Stop in, say "hi", and go fishin' with
cousin Steve. At night, I'll be working for David and Carrie at the
Cockle Creek Restaurant. This will be my first year at the Cockle
Creek. I have waited tables at Capt. Ben's for nine years. So, if your
looking for a great dinner and a wonderful waitress (which I am) stop
in and ask for Joanie.

My family will be visiting Cape Hatteras for the first time this
year.(1999) We will be arriving the second week of August and are very
interested in Gulf Stream fishing. We heard that you can sign your name
up on a board for a charter boat and split the cost with other people
who sign. Is this true? Also can you bottom fish in a charter boat in
the Gulf Stream or is it all trolling? Any suggestions or answers will
be appreciated.

If you like to build your own fishing rods you might want to check
out http://home.earthlink.net/~rodmaker This site features a new rod
building magazine which I found to be very, very impressive. Just got
my first copy and it's the best thing I've ever seen about rod
building.

stories are fine too!).

During the second week of September we spent two days in Orcacoke
fishing. The first day we were on the Drum Stick with Capt David Nagel
and James. We found these two men very helpful. We did wreck fishing
offshore and caught several nice black seabass and one trigerfish. Our
second day was on the Devereau with Capt Reid Robinson. There were six
of us and we caught several dolphin, wahoo, and tuna. We would
recommend Orcacoke and these two boats for a few days of fun and
excitement. Both operate from the Achorage Marina and Inn.

I will be traveling to Long Beach, NC the first of October with some
of the men from my church. I wondered if you knew anywhere I could get
some tips on pier fishing and surfcasting. I have done a lot of
freshwater fishing and some deep sea fishing (a couple of times) and
would like information on what types of baits to use, what type of rigs
to use, and what type of fish we could expect to catch. Any help you
could give would be appreciated. Thanks,
