Today on the Outer Banks we’re seeing a cool early March pattern with partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 55°F, with a high expected near 56°F and light winds offshore.
Conditions around Oregon Inlet and the nearshore waters remain calm overall, though a little hazy later in the afternoon. Water temperatures continue their slow seasonal climb as we move closer to the early spring fishing transition. While offshore Gulf Stream trips are still weather-dependent this time of year, yellowfin tuna fishing typically begins heating up in March, along with opportunities for blackfin tuna and the occasional early wahoo. Captain Olan West and the West Wind Charter are keeping a close eye on conditions as the spring bite begins to develop offshore. As the water warms and the Gulf Stream currents push closer to the coast, anglers can expect more consistent offshore action in the coming weeks. ⸻
Fun Fishing Fact
Yellowfin tuna are among the fastest fish in the ocean and can swim up to 50 miles per hour. When hooked, they often dive deep and circle the boat, making them one of the most exciting fish to battle in the Outer Banks Gulf Stream fishery.
