Welcome to Tradewinds Tackle

May Fishing Ocracoke

May is our peak spring fishing month on Ocracoke Island. Whether surf fishing, inshore, or offshore, there is a chance for the catch of a lifetime. The fishing will change from only seeing early spring species such as drum and bluefish to including summertime fish such as cobia, Spanish mackerel, and pompano.

Whether you like fishing for sea mullets along the beach or trolling for dolphin offshore, May can be a great month around Ocracoke. And the most excitement will probably be generated by near-shore cobia!

All caught yesterday near south point.’ (Eric Williams - I think in last photo) Thanks so much for the share! ... See MoreSee Less
