We also get these questions a lot. What fish are caught in the Outer Banks? Who is King fish in Outer Banks? What fish are biting in the Outer Banks in April? Well, in the Outer Banks, anglers can expect to catch a diverse range of fish, including popular species like redfish, flounder, striped bass, tuna, and mahi-mahi, making it a prime fishing destination year-round. The Kingfish, also known as King Mackerel, is a sought-after species in these waters, renowned for its strong fight and delicious taste, often targeted by both recreational and charter fishermen. In April, fishing enthusiasts will find that species like black drum, trout, and flounder are actively biting, along with the early arrival of bluefish and the anticipation of larger game fish as the waters warm up, offering exciting opportunities for anglers of all skill levels.
