As a child riding on a Fishing vessal, the "Caredwyn" with Capt. Jesse Etheredge in the early 1960s-1970s, The fishing fleet ALWAYS followed Capt. Jesse out through the inlet. This I didn't know was for safety reasons, but also to find the fish. A couple of boats would get in Jesse's way when we were catching fish, and that infuriated him. In approximately 15 years of fishing from his inshore guide, we were NEVER without a catch. This was even when the rest of the inshore fleet got skunked. My family was present when the then world record Blue Marlin was brought into the dock at 1,142 pounds. The fish was caught on July 26, 1974, and is nearly 14 feet long. Its stuffed version is still on display at Oregon inlet. WONDERFUL childhood memories!

Great video on the infamous inlet. Started going down to outer banks in the mid 1960's as a kid and have gone under the old Bonner Bridge numerous times with various captains from the late 60's up to early 2000's. It was always a great feeling once you cleared that area in either direction. Remember going out there in a 14 ft open fiberglass fishing boat with a 20 HP mercury around 1975. Scared the crap out of me, but at age 15 you don't think about the danger. Not sure how the new bridge will affect the current and movement of sand there. Last time I went over the bridge a few months ago, it really looked like the channel was filling in with sand. Always a battle down there to keep it open.

We hit 2 feet of water at some points and ran in 4-5 feet of water for a few miles to the fuel dock. Pucker factor 11! This was shortly after a small hurricane as well, so it was very unpredictable.

@ 9:20 the camera went past our boat. 28' Albemarle in OBX marina. We've had some great times fishing offshore. I've been through the inlet many many times but always seemed like mornings were the worst. Big white rollers everywhere. We'd slide in with the Wanchese fleet leaving at 5am so they'd beat the breakers down for us but it was still a crazy ride. My 10 yo daughter would be sitting in the chair beside me yelling how much fun it was launching off a roller or watching the wall of water come over the bow. Me on the other hand was just short of throwing up from fear. The twin yanmar diesels we had would just churn and never missed a beat(thankfully). Coming back in around 3-4pm was typically calm. Just had to find a wave and sort of surf it in on the backside of the trough without coming over the lip. Never bumped the bottom on the ocean side of the inlet, but damn if I didn't bend a couple of wheels getting through the channel.

People won't stop fishing the waters off the NC coast - they'll just go elsewhere to offload and then NC is just getting screwed. That's only an option if NC can have its own Coast Guard and tax vessels from other states at sea, and if the master can't pay what we want, then we take his vessel, and cargo. 🤣 Yo ho! 🤣 I'm joking, but there's a point there - why should North Carolina just give away the economic benefits of it's location for free? It's the same thing as the Gulf states allowing drilling off the coast but all of the economic benefits going to Montana, Idaho etc. Virginia has been an issue since the 1700's down here - did you know that the town of Portsmouth NC and Ocracoke inlet handled more freight than Norfolk Virginia in the early 1700's? Some say that's the reason the governor of Virginia sent the Navy to kill the man the NC governor hired to run the port - a retired captain familiar with the area who had recently taken the Kings pardon and gone into business - he wasn't a pirate anymore, he was a business man and NC had lower taxes, so the ships were avoiding Virginia

No one in VA or anywhere else wants Oregon inlet, Hatteras inlet or even Ocracoke inlet stabilized, because they are the closest inlets to the Gulf stream fishing grounds north of Florida. They are in fact, the three inlets that are in the prime position to access both the Labrador current and the Gulf stream.

When I was stationed on the Outer Banks the National Motor Life Boat instructors came out to visit the three stations on the Outer Banks (Oregon inlet, Hatteras and Ocracoke). They were under the (mistaken) impression that we didn't get big surf like the Columbia river bar. When they saw the conditions on Oregon inlet bar their words were "how do you do ANYTHING in this (expletives deleted)!?" Surf almost as big (wave height), but with a wave period (time between wave crests) of half or less than the same size surf on the west coast. When the Coast Guard was considering locations for the NMLBS the outer banks inlets were considered, however they deemed the surf too unpredictable and too dangerous for training when it did get big. Think about that - surf too big and too dangerous to train surfmen!

It's proper name is "the Oregon inlet", usually just shortened to "Oregon inlet". Admittedly, that does create some confusion to folks not familiar with the area. It was created by an 1846 hurricane that hit the Outer Banks of North Carolina approximately 25-30 miles north of Cape Hatteras, and was named after the first vessel to navigate through it, which happened to be a ship by the name of "Oregon". So, the name actually has nothing to do with the State of Oregon. Oregon didn't become a State until 13 years after the inlet was named. 🤣

No foreign authorship here...Oregon is on the west coast, not the east coast ...

I get it, it's confusing to someone who's not familiar with that part of the east coast. The name "Oregon inlet" has nothing to do with the State "Oregon". "Oregon inlet" is in North Carolina. It was created in 1846 by a hurricane, and was named after the first vessel to navigate through it - a ship which just happened to be named "Oregon". Technically it could (perhaps "should"?) be referred to as "The Oregon's inlet". Hope that clarified things for you.

Fished Blue’s in the Oregon Inlet. The waves were crazy. Everyone on board were hitting 3-4 large Blue’s per cast. Crazy water constantly changing with waves coming from every direction!

Oregon Inlet is an inlet along North Carolina's Outer Banks. It joins the Pamlico Sound with the Atlantic Ocean and separates Bodie Island from Pea Island, which are connected by the 2.8 mile Marc Basnight Bridge that spans the inlet.
