Anyone have knowledge of good honey holes near Oregon Inlet or Nags Head in October for speckled trout and/or sheepshead. Either with a boat or shore fishing.

good morning RS, The southend of murrells inlet there is a public oyster bed just past where17 buisness and 17 by pass come together, that is the only spot i know of with sure footing the rest is pluff mud not very safe for wading. GOOD LUCK and be aware of the tide
Not sure if you got this before BB, but just wanted to say thanks for the info. I pulled that spot up on google earth, and it looks ideal. I'll post if I tey it out, and let everyone know how it turned out.
Anyone familiar with Murrells Inlet? I'm getting in to wade fishing, and looking for some good spots to try in that area. Maybe solid footing, holding flounder, trout, redfish, even sheepshead. Appreciate any help. Another plus would be where I could park my truck and actually find my way to the water.
Congrats. Hope that's the first of many.👍🏻
Hey, anyone familiar with Harkers Island and the Cape Lookout area know some good spots that are usually holdin' some redfish and specks?
🤪 I try to stay away from those websites. Yeah, it's tough to stretch a dollar when you need stuff to fish with, and equipment for the boat.
Thx Gary. Yeah, I've thought a lot about a St Croix. Just not sure if I can pull the trigger on $160. 😉
Hi folks. Need some opinions from all you folks out there. I'm in the market for a new rod, and I'm planning to get a 7'-2" to pair with a 3000 spinning reel. I want something that will be ideal for inshore fishing on the NC coast, but I can also use it on lakes near home for largemouth bass. What are your thoughts on medium action vs. medium heavy, and fast or extra fast tip?
Check out a couple of you tube channels. One Fish/Two Fish, and SaltStrong. Both are excellent, entertaining, and very informative.
From what I can gather, a good rod is more important than the reel, but that being said, you can still get an excellent St Croix or Loomis rod for $150-$170, and for bang for your buck, a Daiwa Fuego spincast reel for $100. $250-300 total not too shabby.
I have a great recipe for carp. Heat your oven to 500°F, strap the carp to a 2 x 4 plank with bailing wire, bake the car at 500° for two hours and 30 minutes, take it out of the oven and throw the carp away, and eat the board.Mmmmmm!
I'm with ya brother! I'm not a pro and I don't have any problem whatsoever dunkin a creek chub or two to catch a bass. I always catch and release, and I don't see the big deal as long as I'm havin' fun. Not tryin' to impress anybody. I just love to catch em. As a matter of fact, I enjoy droppin' a minnow trap in the creek and seein' what I can catch. It's not as much fun as catching the bass, but it's a hoot in itself.
