Where to Fish and Crab for free, OBX, Tips and Advice

Welcome to the Outer Banks! I used to work in a tackle shop when I was younger. The number one question I would get asked is, "Where can I take my family fishing and crabbing while on vacation?". Years later, I'm sure this question has not changed. In this video I dive deep into 4 locations on the Outer Banks where you can fish, crab, get wet, sightsee, and have a great day outdoors. I also discuss bathroom facilities, parking, shade, etc. I hope this videos makes your vacation better. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for this video. You brought back a part of my childhood. My family and I used to go to the Outer Banks in the 70s and early 80s. The area, of course, has changed drastically. We used to fish the "catwalk" all the time along with that rocky area you showed by the catwalk. It was a huge, long sand flat that we used to catch flounder. The Coast Guard station used to be a little farther around there. I plan to make a trip out there this year while its still warm, and to Hatteras later this winter. Again, thank you.

    You're welcome. I grew up on the obx in the 80's and 90's. Spent a good deal of my youth crawling all over the catwalk chasing sheepshead. It's changed a lot but still beautiful and still a lot of fish around. Thanks for the comment.

    I been going to this area for a long time but I didn't know about the last pier, I heard about a spot over their some where.I was riding around looking but I didn't go that far. We never use that bridge any more. I take care of a house in Avon, but when we come with our hold family the house in Avon is not big enough, so we try to get a house in southern nags head. I'm a man that looks for different places so thank you.
