This October my wife and I plan on dragging our Scout Dorado 172 to the OBX. We found a ramp to launch at, Rodanthe/Waves, to avoid the larger vessels and boat traffic at and around OI. Having said that, this will be our first time in the Pamlico Sound.
Has anyone here made the run out to the Pea Island Artificial reef? Via noaa chart 12204/11555, the run to the reef looks to be roughly 14 miles or so from Rodanthe. If it's windy, the boat will sit on the trailer.
Hopefully we'll be targeting Drum, Blues, sheepshead or whatever will bite, Lol.
Any boating tips or suggestions for fishing that area? Is October a good time to fish that particular reef?
Any first hand experiences with that reef in October?
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edited to add: The coordinates for the reef is:
Lat: 35' 40.008 N
Long: 75' 36.962W
Does that put you on top of the reef?
