Hey guys, I'm looking to start fishing. Anyone know good beginner spots for the current time and weather? I don't have a boat so itd have to be shore and piers. Any tips in general would be appreciated as well.

I always do shitty from the surf. And the head boats the last two year have been poop.

Anyone from Hatteras to Nags Head got room on their boat early next week (7/25-7/29) to take a Florida man fishing? I'll have all my gear, I don't get seasick or complain, and I will chip in on all expenses and anything else needed!

I just want to catch a couple quality fish so we have some meat for the week!

I take random redditors offshore down here near Clearwater often! I always post up to take a stranger fishing, and everyone I've met has been awesome. Would be cool if someone could return a favor! And if you're ever down in the Clearwater/Tampa area, I will take you offshore 100%!!

Reef Donkey pic for attention!

Thanks!

Staying in Kitty Hawk for a week next week. Coming from Nebraska. We have American Eels in the Missouri River, but they are crazy rare to catch, usually one or two show up each year by a lucky angler. I've always hoped to catch one but have never been lucky enough. It's a bucket list fish for me so I'm really hoping it's possible in that area. Not even sure if this time of year is good for them.

I've seen reports of them being caught around Kitty Hawk. Any advice in places to try, bait to use? Assuming at night is best, but unsure.

Planning to do a lot of inland fishing and coastal fishing off the beaches and piers. Mostly been using iNat to find spots to try for a variety of species available. Thanks!

Work night shift most of the time. I would go night fishing down in texas a lot but moved up here recently and looking for some pointers are where to go. Near south padre there were a lot of docks with those green lights at night. I am located in Durham, fresh or saltwater, not picky! Ty

Heading up from Clearwater FL area to Buxton the end of this month. Looking to find someone to get me out fishing on 7/25 - 7/28

I will have all my gear and will chip in on all bait and gas, I don't get seasick or complain, and I will help with whatever's needed. I put up "Take a stranger fishing" posts about once every month or two and have taken 8-10 random redditors on my boat down here in Florida, I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to repay the favor! I just want to catch some quality fish for our week in Buxton. I'm down to go out anywhere from Hatteras to Duck.

In the years past, I usually jump on one of the full day head boats, but the past three years the boats have done shitty. I'd rather not spend $150 catching spot tail pin fish, undersized triggers and small sea bass! 😂🤦‍♂️

If anyone thinks they might have a spot for me to go catch some quality fish, please let me know!

And if you're ever in the Clearwater FL area and want to go offshore, I got you!!!

Thanks!! Pic for attention - Red Grouper fishing is in full swing down here!

Wanting to put my jon boat in and fish it but I am electric only and haven’t been there before. Any recommendations or advice on the area would be nice

Had a friend that I went with but he doesn’t have much time anymore if anyone has a kayak or doesn’t but doesn’t mind using one hmu I’m 24 live around the Rockymount area

I was at Allen fishing area and I never got a bite and I just wanted to know if it’s a good spot and what is y’all’s experience there

Can someone recommend a stretch of this stream that I can use a packraft to paddle to a spot to wade fish? Thank you.

Been catching spots off the sunset beach pier the past few weeks. Been probably 10 times or so and caught spots every morning 6am-Before lunch. It dies off hard after. Haven’t seen any pulled up and over today or yesterday.

Can’t wait for the fall run🎣

Hey Yall, I know this is a long shot, but I left two fishing rods leaning against a road sign at the boat launch under the Sunset Beach Bridge last Wednesday. Got caught in the rain and forgot them while packing up. The rods were a St. Croix Inshore with a Penn Spinfisher on it, and a Shimano Nasci on a GX2. If anyone saw them that day and is feeling like a particularly good Samaritan, please let me know.

I know it’s small, but does anyone have any experience fishing there? It’s close, so I figured it would be a nice place to include in the paddling routine. I know it’s stocked once-twice a year. Are there holdovers too? Or is it quickly fished out? Bass fishing there also decent? I can’t find a topo map either. Any info on depths?

Im coming down next week and wanted to do quite a bit of surf fishing. I wanted to update some of my gear but wasn't sure if it was going to be worth it. The weather looks a bit questionable as of now. Worth upgrading a rod or two? Or will it be to rough to really enjoy it?

Thanks!

Going out on Belews Lake Saturday morning with 3 other people. We aim to be on the lake at 7am. Can anyone tell me the best ways to fish the lake, areas to look for, areas to stay away from? We're going out on a 24 foot starcraft pontoon and want to optimize our time.

Don’t know if anyone has every fished here, grown up catching lots of bluegill when we visit. Hooked up on to a big bass but lost it. Any tips/lures I need to be throwing. Visiting in 2ish weeks, down by NC SC boarder mountain lake if that helps, thanks!

Moving to Durham and wondering if anyone has any tips or recommendations for fishing the Eno.

Headed to EI next weekend for a week. Looking for spots to fish on foot on the sound side. Can you fish from the boardwalk/dock at the NCWRC public boat access in EI on the sound? If so, how is it there? Any other decent public access spots on the island?

Thanks!

Gonna be on the lake for a few days later this month. Only able to bank fish, and am hoping to cross spotted bass off my bucket list. My main plan is robo worm on a drop shot with my UL rod. Should I bring leader line, or would all braid work?

My other travel rod is a MH baitcaster, I feel that would be overkill. Looking for any tips from anyone who has fished there before.

So just as a baseline I just picked up fly fishing around 2 weeks ago and have been struggling to find a good spot to fish and figure out what to throw. My gf and I are wanting to go trout fishing around the northwestern area of NC and I wanted to see if anyone knew of some good spots for myself to get some practice and put my gf on some fish. Any and all help is much appreciated!!
