    The Outer Banks of North Carolina, the iconic barrier island chain stretching from Corolla to Ocracoke, offers some of the finest surf fishing on the Atlantic coast, where red drum, bluefish, pompano, sea mullet, spot, croaker, and Spanish mackerel can be caught from the pristine beaches of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Spot Features: Outer Banks, North Carolina, is the broad barrier island chain in Dare, Currituck, and Hyde counties, encompassing the entire Outer Banks from Corolla to Ocracoke, with some of the finest and most diverse surf fishing on the Atlantic coast for red drum, bluefish, pompano, sea mullet, spot, croaker, black drum, and Spanish mackerel from the Cape Hatteras National Seashore beaches. Seasonality: Red drum are the primary surf fishing target on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (broad entry covering the entire OBX coastline), best in fall (September-November). Bluefish and pompano are abundant through summer and fall. Sea mullet (southern kingfish), spot, and croaker are warm-season surf species. Black drum and Spanish mackerel are seasonal.
