Slim fish reports lately – early in the week I did read of a first hand sighting of 2 surf fishermen coming back from the jetty area of Oregon Inlet each carrying a 20#plus striper. Every once and awhile I hear of a slot sized drum taken from the beach, usually around O. I.
Back in 2013 researchers in the Cape Cod area put a satellite tag onto the dorsal fin of a female 14 ft great white shark and affectionately named her Katherine. On Friday evening Jan. 9 after cruising through Oregon Inlet, Katherine’s tag pinged her location just northeast of Stumpy Point at 8:45 PM. 14 hours later she pinged again just south of Swan Quarter. At that point she must have gotten really pissed off cause less than 3 hours later she pinged again on the other side of Cape Hatteras after dashing through Hatteras Inlet!!!

July 15th FISHING REPORT
For Tuesday, 7/15/14, expect a high about 88 degrees with SSW/S winds 15 – 20 MPH, partly cloudy skies and a 40% chance of rain. Sunset will be 8:19 PM and sunrise tomorrow is at 5:58 AM.
First tide is a low at 4:19 AM with the high at 10:22 AM
Second tide is low at 4:39 PM followed with the high at 10:41 PM
Duck research pier posted the water temp this morning at a nipply 59 degrees – We’re talking severe shrinkage here. The other northern OBX piers are listing similar chilly temps in the low 60s. This cold, muddy, water condition definitely puts a damper on our local beach and pier fishing. AND THE GOOD NEWS – expect a sea change Wed nite and Thurs as the wind swings around to the N-NE. If you don’t like the weather around here, just wait a little while, it will accommodate ( not always the way you like ). Meanwhile if you head south of Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, warmer water can be had at the expense of a short drive.
