Guys,
I will be on OBX the weekend of November 16, 17. I have not been there before. I recently lived on Hilton Head Island and for inshore salt water I frequently used 1/4 oz jigs and Gulp swimming mullet for bait with good success.
Want to do some wade fishing, not surf fishing. Two questions: where to access and what to use in November?
I understand that the "Basin" near the Coast Guard station is one area guys walk into. Are there other public access areas for wade fishing on the north or south side of Oregon Inlet? Also are there ways to access the bridge piers for sheepshead? Do the local bait shops have fiddler crabs for bait?
Also, what are the usual baits for trout and the other fish migrating through in November?
I appreciate your patience with a newbie to this particular spot.
Many thanks.
Larry
