Outer Banks Fishing Reports

Your Outer Banks Fishing Experience

Fishing at the Outer Banks offers an incredible adventure, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the rich estuaries of North Carolina, creating a paradise for anglers. At Old North State Fishing, Captain Andy Ennis brings years of experience and local knowledge to provide you with exceptional fishing trips tailored to all skill levels. Our charters cater to a variety of fishing styles, including inshore and offshore adventures, allowing you to target popular species such as redfish, flounder, and striped bass. We pride ourselves on not only delivering successful fishing experiences but also ensuring that every outing is filled with fun and camaraderie. Join us to explore the stunning waters of the Outer Banks and create unforgettable memories on your fishing journey!

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.
