Over 45 Years of Fishing Tradition on Ocracoke Island, NC

Thank you all for another amazing fishing season on Ocracoke! We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. See you all mid March for a 48th year of fishing tradition!

December Fishing On Ocracoke

December brings an end to the tourist season, with very few people visiting the island. The people that do visit may find only one or two restaurants and motels staying open for the winter. But there is a special opportunity for those few visitors to enjoy the solitude and quiet, open beaches. Weather can vary from a beautiful blue sky to windy gray, so come prepared for the season.
