If the daggum weather would cooperate there would be a whole lot more fish being caught! They're there, trust me, but mother nature is being difficult. Anywho, I'll talk to you about what you SHOULD be catching in this report and give you some ideas for where you can find some fresh local shrimp to accompany that turkey for Thanksgiving!

OH MY GOSH THE FISHING WAS not great... hahaha sorry I have to make jokes right now because this weather has got all of us that love to fish down in the dumps. We will bounce back soon enough but for now there just isn't much activity. I'll talk a little about what should be being caught and a fishing forecast in this report.

We're back on that fishing rollercoaster again but, believe it or not, there was fish caught yesterday!!! Yeah, you read that correctly! There was a brave soul out there determined to catch some fish. Where were they? I'll tell you where and what they caught in this report and we must also send our thoughts and prayers to those in Jamaica and to our friends on Hatteras Island.

Fishing over the weekend was GREAT!!! All fishing fronts had great catches - it was so nice to see for a change. Gonna talk about that and the Outer Banks Beach Buggy Association surf fishing tournament that took place on Hatteras Island. Don't get too excited just yet... looks like we might have some more weather this week that could put a damper on things. I pray against it, but it's not looking too good...
