Nags Head Fishing Seasons
January
Near empty beaches, and a few inshore species. New angles will enjoy the peace and can practice casting. Offshore: Yellowfin and Blackfin will reward for the trip.
February
Tuna time! You can find Bluefins offshore, and some of their Yellowfin and Blackfin relatives nearby. Go on a longer trip, and you won’t regret it!
March
The prospects are looking brighter. Spots are picking up in numbers, and the action is mostly inshore. Offshore, you can still catch Yellowfin Tuna.
April
Red is the new black. You don’t want to miss fishing for Red Drum, as their numbers will skyrocket. Out there, bigger fish come following the warm current.
May
Offshore fishing is improving. You can find Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo or two further out. Inshore, aim for Red Drum—the chase can get epic!
June
The focus shifts offshore, where you can catch Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo. If staying inshore, get up early—you’ll find Spots.
July
It’s not just the beach that gets crowded, it’s also the fisheries! Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Sailfish offshore. Inshore, try fly on Spotted Seatrout, Croaker, and Bluefish.
August
Blue Marlin, Sailfish, and plenty of Tuna, if you plan a longer trip. Troll for Spanish or King Mackerel, or savor the shoreline on an inshore fishing charter.
September
The weather’s cooling, but inshore fishing is rock solid. Redfish, Black Drum, and Specks can all be caught on a half day trip. And offshore’s excellent!
October
There’s something to Spotted Seatrout fishing in fall. Spades of fish! Redfish, Black Drum, and Bluefish are also biting. Out, it’s Blackfin Tuna time.
November
This is the top month for Red Drum. They’re on the move, and can be really big. Offshore is also lucrative—Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, and some Bluefin.
December
The action moves back inshore. The safest bet are Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum. On a nice day, venture offshore and land big Tuna.

What People Are Saying About Nags Head
"Fishing with Duke"
Head on out to Oregon Inlet and give Captain Duke a call. You will be glad that you did.
"Half Day (Morning) with Captain Devin"
Let quantity of edible fish be the focus over big-game trophies.
"Half-Day Afternoon Trip with Capt'n Duke"
1. Make certain of where the boat is docked or sails from. This will help in planning for drive time depending on whether you have an early morning or afternoon charter. 2. Hats, sunglasses, and lots of sun screen (or long sleeves) are a must. 3. While a cooler of ice-cold beer is good, ice-cold water is better. 4. Have a second cooler in your vehicle to take home your catch.
"All day with Dean"
Parking there was ok. Not clear how the procedure to pay for having the fish cleaned after the trip is to be done.
