    In this video I was on vacation at the Outer Banks and I took my kayak out to the Sound to try fishing for anything. It was a fun trip.

    Nice work! I utilize a few boat bumpers when I know I'm going to fish around bridges and such.

    Just came under that bridge a couple weeks ago. We went offshore for Tuna and the sharks where terrible. Guess we shoulda stopped and dropped a fiddler crab lol. Nice video as always, ik that current has to be frustrating when kayaking out there

    I know that bridge! Years ago we fished out of Pirates Cove fishing offshore. Always remember the day some guy driving a drywall truck was threatening to jump off the bridge. Here was his GF, and on the other hand, his Wife……each of the them demanding he do two different things. It was the best half hour comedy we ever watched. I guess he got caught half way between the two so to speak. Anyway, he didn’t jump, although I’m not sure it would have killed him. Not sure who he went home with that night after the police released him.
    Oh well, nice video,but that bridge will always remind me of that story and that day. 👍

    Great video Jesse! The fishing sucked in Corolla for me, and I’m the pier in Avalon pier all I got was a ray that broke me off after running a good 100 yards of 30 pound powerpro through half the pilings of the pier.

      @@ethanmcdowell9677 what do you mean? Looked rebuilt to me, the pier went out im assuming it’s full length because it had railing all the way around. There wasn’t anything “un” rebuilt about it that I could tell. Just some pilings 50 ish feet from the end of the pier way down in the water. Other than that 100% normal

      @@ethanmcdowell9677 I know this is late, but I see what you mean now that I look back at pictures I took. You could see the pickings out there and the end railing was new, guess they never rebuilt it just added railing to the end. It’s a shame that happened.

    Great fishing bro🤟🏾💯been a student of your channel since I first started looking into kayak fishing. I’m a up north, Great Lakes yak fishing guy. But our family visits OBX often. One of my bucket list trips would be to get my 2019 Hobie Outback down there to fish some bridges. I have no experience in saltwater yak fishing, so other than the weather and tide changes…could you fill me in on some other safety tips for first time yak anglers in salt water? Not gonna lie😅my biggest fear of freak out is seeing something bigger than my yak swimming under me🤣😅🤷🏾‍♂️. But I do understand thats what comes with the territory. Just looking for some ease of fears tips from a guy who I know is out there. Appreciate the content brother🤟🏾💯 keep it up!

    Stripers love crustaceans. Any time I can get crabs, sand fleas, or any type of shellfish I use it. Sadly MD closed the season in the Chesapeake until August 1st. Are you still using your boat? I haven't seen you take it out in a while.

    Looked to be fairly productive. Surprised the pier anglers didn't bitch at you being to close by chunking lead your way. I hate to admit it, but I am going to have to start using bait for more of a bite. Great video, bud.

      I avoided that are just because of that until the end. Plus there is nothing but snags for them that anyway, trust me I have tried. Live bait is better most of the time for certain species. Mainly summer species it seems
