OBX fishing mackerel

Went to vacation in OBX with my kids last week and did a little surf fishing and wade fishing in the sound. Nothing on the surf side, after talking to the local bait shop owners we determined we weren’t in the ideal beach location. The Pompano hadn’t showed up yet and I only managed one small white. On the sound side, the bait shop told us that the Spanish Mackerel were hitting so I bought a couple lures and headed out. Ended up hooking up on a small one. Lots of fun bringing it in, though. Put up a good fight and made a run until I turned up the drag.

Always nice to check out different areas, so next time we’ll be better informed of where to go.
