Visiting outer banks
I'll be in the outer banks next weekend. Was looking to do a charter for Saturday. Conditions are predicted to be pretty good so why not. If anyone in the area wants to split a charter let me know. I'm FII level 2 certified and looking to do some deep wreck/blue water. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Re: Visiting outer banks
Jon, I'm from Jersey and I'll be down there from 3rd to 8th. I can't dive Saturday but can any other day till Thursday. Will bring my kayak with me. Would love to do a charter as well. I dive regularly (2-3 times a week) in NJ and can comfortably fish to 50ft, possibly deeper with good conditions.

Re: Visiting outer banks
Not too many options from shore if you are looking big games, otherwise there are some accessible wrecks from the beach that may hold some sheepheads, spades and a wondering barracuda or so. You can also use a sea kayak and explore the sound side but visibility is gonna be your biggest problem. If you want more so pelagic species or bigger game, then a charter is a must. JT barker (under pressure) and vicarious Spearfishing are two of the best out there and they will make best use of your buck and time.
Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Visiting outer banks
Thanks for the info. The weather report is looking worse so Ill play it by ear. The surfing will probably be great if there is no diving!

Best bet is JT or another good spearing charter or a private boat. AJ's are a sure bet. Rainbows too if you go off Hatteras. Mahi is possible. Wahoo should start picking up. AP's are around. Typical Bluewater diving if you get offshore. Hopefully before it gets too cold the inshore stuff will pick up. |

Re: Visiting outer banks
On my way down there now. If anybody is diving inshore/offshore I'm in after the storm passes. Will be there till Friday am hoping it clears up by now.
