Pompano Fishing
The Outer Banks and beaches of NC have built a reputation with the fall spot runs in October and massive red drum in November, but don’t overlook the summer months for some great surf fishing action. The arrival of June means that school is almost over and soon families will flock to the North Carolina beaches for summer vacation. Many visitors play in the surf and spend time on the beach without ever breaking out the fishing tackle. The visitors assume that the higher water temps and summer heat have driven all the fish into hiding. Many species of fish can be caught from the NC surf and piers including the pompano. The pompano is a great fish to target in the summer not only for the great sport it provides, but also for the tender white fillet it provides for the table.
