I grew up fishing the lakes and ponds in upstate NY. I knew how to identify and catch bluegills and bass and catfish. However, when I switched to saltwater fishing, it was a whole new ball game. After each catch, I would search Google images, trying to identify exactly what I caught. Knowing the different species can help you target the fish you want to catch. With this knowledge, you can better decide what bait, which rig, and the time of year you should target each species. Perhaps you're in the same boat that I was in when I first started saltwater fishing. This post can help. We've identified some of the most common fish you'll catch fishing on Oak Island, included a short description. We've even included links to fishing videos if you want to learn more about fishing for a particular species. Please keep in mind, size and creel limit provided as approximate information and subject to change. Always check with the state regulations for most up to date information.
