Nags Head Fishing Report

Monday, August 4, 2025
Offshore from Oregon Inlet
Corolla to Nags Head Piers
Corolla to Nags Head Surf
The wind may have shifted, but it is a pleasant welcome after the heat wave!
 
🎣 Last week was great surf fishing for Spot, Croaker, Sea Mullet, Bluefish, Spanish, and Pompano. The piers reported lots of fish with plenty of Spot, Croaker, Spanish, Triggerfish, Pinfish, Black Sea Bass, and Cobia. Looks like the Drum have decided to show us as well! This North East wind makes for ideal Drummy conditions!
 
The inshore fishing continued to be exciting with good reports of Speckled Trout and Drum. There are lots of Puppy Drum around with plenty of big Drum as well. There have been some Flounder as well, which get us excited for the September season.
 
The nearshore and offshore fishing proved to be strong for Mahi fishing! The offshore fleet found plenty of Tunas, Wahoo, and Billfish as well. Many local boats made their way up to Ocean City for the 2025 White Marlin Open. Good luck to all those participating and we look forward to the Alice Kelly and Pirate’s Cove Tournament taking place next week.
