Where to Fish and Crab for free, OBX, Tips and Advice

Welcome to the Outer Banks! I used to work in a tackle shop when I was younger. The number one question I would get asked is, "Where can I take my family fishing and crabbing while on vacation?". Years later, I'm sure this question has not changed. In this video I dive deep into 4 locations on the Outer Banks where you can fish, crab, get wet, sightsee, and have a great day outdoors. I also discuss bathroom facilities, parking, shade, etc. I hope this videos makes your vacation better. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate this variety of content. Never sell out/ annoying intros.(although I do get it) but sometimes simple is more. Keep it up thank you for your time

[@haltysalty7537]

Thanks Austin

[@spencertruman4424]

I go to OBX all the time and always look for fishing spots. Thanks for the tips.

[@haltysalty7537]

You're welcome

Thank you for this video. You brought back a part of my childhood. My family and I used to go to the Outer Banks in the 70s and early 80s. The area, of course, has changed drastically. We used to fish the "catwalk" all the time along with that rocky area you showed by the catwalk. It was a huge, long sand flat that we used to catch flounder. The Coast Guard station used to be a little farther around there. I plan to make a trip out there this year while its still warm, and to Hatteras later this winter. Again, thank you.

[@haltysalty7537]

You're welcome. I grew up on the obx in the 80's and 90's. Spent a good deal of my youth crawling all over the catwalk chasing sheepshead. It's changed a lot but still beautiful and still a lot of fish around. Thanks for the comment.

[@racerx12003r]

@haltysalty7537 I'm trying to plan a trip out there this fall. Would love to set up and camp out for a week. Funny thing is an old friend of mine sent me an ad for camping at Ocracoke.

Hello from the state of Ohio. Family and I will be down next year the second week in June. We are staying at the outer banks KOA campground. Thank you for the video.

You forgot one spot. The gazebo and the kayak launch between well-bone junction and the little bridge

[@jeffwilson8305]

Where is the gazebo at?

[@robsteve7043]

Thank you for the video. Even though I've been to the Outer Banks multiple times I learned some new things.

Nice informative video Thanks

[@haltysalty7537]

You're welcome

[@randy1469]

Thanks for this. Thinking about going out there in January with some friends

[@haltysalty7537]

You bet, January's a tough month fishing wise but if the weather is fair they'll be fishing the little bridge. Surf fishing can be decent too. Check in at TWs tackle shop in kitty hawk, they'll let you know what's biting.

[@user-gm7gc6ce3o]

I been going to this area for a long time but I didn't know about the last pier, I heard about a spot over their some where.I was riding around looking but I didn't go that far. We never use that bridge any more. I take care of a house in Avon, but when we come with our hold family the house in Avon is not big enough, so we try to get a house in southern nags head. I'm a man that looks for different places so thank you.

Thanks !!!!!

[@user-uh8fs3sw4t]

We visit the Outer Banks 2 times a year but not to fish. That said I'm wanting to make just a fishing trip so this video helps.

[@haltysalty7537]

I hope it does Ron, good luck

[@thelovelandhomestead52]

I just came back from a fishing trip at Nags Head. Fiahing all round wasnt that great. Wish I would have seen this beforehand 😂 will definitely try these spots next time

[@haltysalty7537]

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching

[@mikecooper9507]

Great video! 👍. Does a visitor need a license to fish those spots?

[@haltysalty7537]

Thanks Mike. Yes, that would be a nonresident saltwater fishing license. Can be purchased online. I believe they have a one day and also a 7 day option. Good question!

[@secretjourney4815]

Hi HALTY. Isnt this area Oregon Inlet a known "crab spawn " area, and therefore cannot be crabbed?

[@haltysalty7537]

Could be. That would only apply to the first spot in the video, which is a fishing location.

[@secretjourney4815]

@@haltysalty7537 either way, great video! Loads of crabs by the bonnet bridge. I’m just excited to join y’all down there permanently! Not obx, rather the Swansboro area. Thanks for all your great videos!

[@brandone6252]

I live right up the road from obx been looking for someone to fish crab with wife’s not into it

[@mariateresatran5583]

Do I need a license to fish in these area planning on going

[@haltysalty7537]

Crabing No. Fishing yes. Stop into a local tackle shop to purchase, or order a liscense online at www.ncwildlife.org/Licensing/Hunting-Fishing-Trapping-Licenses/Coastal-Recreational-Fishing-License

Great video, but it’s time to hit the Pungo or Pamlico

[@haltysalty7537]

You got that right! Between the weather and my schedule, I can't catch a break. It's time for sure!

[@faronwhite6483]
