Question by James: What bait is good for surf fishing off the outer banks in north carolina?

I'm going there in like 2 weeks and heard there was good fishing. I will get a chance to go in the sound and ocean. Also could you specify what baits for what types of fish.

Answer by Saltwater Gator
i investigated Outer Banks fishing and they have the same species of fish we have here in Flagler Beach Fl. if your not familiar with fishing saltwater you might want to target Spots & Croaker. Spots and Croaker will give you the most action. if you target bigger game species like Redfish, Sea Trout, Stripers, Bluefish, Flounder you probably won't get as many hits. But who knows? you might kill'm.

The best bait for surf fishing that area would be dead shrimp. you could also use fresh cut mullet and squid.

you might want to take or buy some half oz Jigs and use either Berkley saltwater Gulp or a Strip bait of mullet. there is tons of info on Outer Bank Fishing do a google search for more info.
