About This Spot
A top Outer Banks inlet with strong tidal flow that pulls in red drum, trout, flounder, and seasonal cobia. The shifting bars and channels create great ambush zones, especially on moving tides. Easy access from multiple public points near the bridge and marina. Consistent action most of the year with prime fishing from spring through fall.
