Well…typically the weather plays a big part in beach fishing or even saltwater boat fishing ….just have to accept that Mother Nature has her own unpredictable schedule.
If you only plan on saltwater fishing one week out of the year your margin for error is very thin. You may try the Sound side, it may/may not be more conducive to fishing. Thursday and Friday weather looks to be better in the OBX. However the wind and rain doesn’t appear to be that bad today.
I always bring my waders and rain gear because it will allow me to fish even when the weather is not sunny and dry. Have to be able to deal with some wind and rain. Sometimes the bite is really on during overcast rainy windy days.
Proper tackle is also important when fishing OBX. It’s not like fishing the beaches on the west coast of Florida.
