THE OUTER BANKS CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE “HOTTEST” FISHING SPOTS ON THE EAST COAST
Are you planning a fishing trip to the OBX? If so, you need to check out Captain Marty for his daily fishing reports. Captain Marty’s fishing reports are a must for the fisherman on the Outer Banks. Whether you fish in the surf, sound or offshore you will want to get the latest OBX fishing information. See his daily schedule below. Marty posts some good fishing highlights on his Facebook wall as well; who knows maybe you will end up on it.
The weekday radio schedule for Captain Marty’s Fishing Reports is:
6:50a – Fishing Report
7:20a – The Other Side of Fishing
8:20a – Fishing Report
6:20a – Fishing Report
7:20a – The Other Side of Fishing
8:20a – Fishing Report
Speaking of fishing, here’s a good catch
Angler reels in Sheepshead in Nags Head.
According to NC Aquarium, “these elusive fish use those big teeth to eat barnacles and other hard-shelled animals such as blue crabs”.

One of our very own, Jodi Powers-Bernhardt, has become known as the OBX MOSTLY SALAD CHEF!

Enjoy! And, if you make this salad, please take a photo and tag Jodi on Facebook. She would love that!
We all have many reasons we love traveling to our favorite beach towns. We love the beach, jumping in the surf, water skiing, boating, fishing, shopping etc. What is your favorite reason? One of my favorite reasons is to EAT. I love all the seashore town snack foods, so for that reason I wanted to share some of my OBX fav’s.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
The OBX, as well as most Resort towns across the country this year, is having a challenging time keeping their restaurants fully staffed. For that reason, your favorite restaurant may be closed a few days during the week. You may want to call the restaurant before heading over to make sure they are opened as I have found Google may not be up to date on their hours of operation.
