It's no doubt the Outer Banks is a sport fisherman's paradise. Our close location to the Gulf Stream makes for some of the nation's best angling waters.
Even though some have been retired, 92 world records have been caught in the area.
Don't forget that many different species flourish in our sound waters, as well as the Great Atlantic.
All fresh and salt water anglers should be aware of current fishing regulations, sizes and bag limits of different species.
