Fishing, Boating and Watersports Tips
A
good way to get to know the Crystal Coast is to escape to Shackleford Banks
and explore on your own. Take your own boat or catch one of the passenger
ferries described in our
Getting Here, Getting Around chapter.
In
Crystal Coast waters, the best fish to catch in the surf are striped
bass, bluefish, summer flounder (also known as fluke), weakfish,
speckled trout, red drum, kingfish, croaker, spot, pompano and Spanish
mackerel. (Source: Surf Fishing–Catching Fish from the Beach,

To
get the inside track on where to fish, read the Carteret County
News-Times. Every Friday it publishes "On the Line," a column by
fishing writer Capt. Jerry Dilsaver.
