Any recommendations on what soft plastics or hard baits to use while surf fishing?

Hard to beat bait in a new area. Check in at Tradewinds to get the local update. …. ICM

Thanks ICM, Alan and Co are always a big help.

Bunch of drum have been caught lately, even a few Cobia from the beach. Fresh mullet has never failed me in the Ocracoke surf...

Been seeing a bunch on Tradewinds facebook. I'm hoping they'll still be hanging around come saturday.

I hope you're right, I'm leaving in the morning to go out there. Not sure what to use yet. I'll find out when we get there. Good luck

I'll be out there all week Blue Dodge paired up with a buddy with a Red Dodge. Holla

Spent Memorial weekend in Ocracoke. Absolutely beautiful weather. Fishing was good. Sandflea's had just started to come out. We had to dig around quite a bit to find them but it didn't take long. Wouldn't be surprised if they are all in the surf with this weather we've been having. South end was crowded with beach goer's for the holiday weekend. Mainly fished the middle of the island. Try Ramp 67 and go left, some real nice water there.
We filled a cooler with Whiting and Pomps using the flea's. Caught some short flounder. Water was extremely clear, never could get a drum to bite. Tradewind's had fresh bunker, mullet, and shrimp. But all our fish came off flea's. Couldn't get a bite on the rod with the cut bait.
Have a good weekend. Love that place.

Nice cut in the bar that we were fishing.
