OBX Surf Fishing is a no-affiliate, no-upsell guide to surf fishing the Outer Banks of North Carolina — from Corolla to Ocracoke. Reports, spots, rigs, regulations, and honest gear talk.

Who Writes This

Bret Doman writes OBX Surf Fishing. I fish the Outer Banks year-round — spring drum at Cape Point, summer pompano in the Avon trough, fall blitzes south of Oregon Inlet, the slow February days when nothing’s biting and you go anyway. I run the site with one editorial rule: no affiliate links, no paid placements, no “best gear of 2026” listicles. Everything published here is built on time spent on the sand, dated catch photos, and primary-source citations — NCWRC, NPS Cape Hatteras National Seashore, NC Division of Marine Fisheries.

Reach me at hello@obxmaps.com. Catch reports, corrections, and tide-window questions all welcome.

What We Do Differently

• No affiliate links steering you toward $400 rods you don’t need.
• Dated, time-stamped catch photos.
• Primary-source citations for regulations: NCWRC, NPS Cape Hatteras NS, NC Division of Marine Fisheries.
• “Last updated” dates on every regulation and seasonal page.
