Surf Fishing Report: We are starting the week with one of our perfect Outer Banks days and it is suppose to last through Sunday. How lucky are we? The wind is NW my favorite for catching Drum. Just find a good slough and drop a line. Drum are bottom feeders and they will take most anything you throw at them. Having said all that I was just told the water is really murky this morning. The point had lots of Shark and they were also scattered up and down. Sea Mullet was on the north side of the Island and Bob Pittman had a beautiful catch of nice size Mullet. I would love to have some of those buggers. Drum and Bluefish were caught as well. We had beautiful Trout and Drum on this side of the Inlet. Also some Bluefish, Black Drum, Sea Mullet.
