I am heading down to the outer banks in 11 days. I will be staying up North but I am considering making the trip to fish the Green Slough or the Lighthouse Slough. I have been tying a lot of clowser's and I have a bunch of other flies.
If the surf isn't too bad I may try to do some fishing from my kayak out in the ocean. Last year I was able to do this but I didn't catch a single fish (it was so frustrating to sit on a pile of bait fish and not catch a single fish). I had one hook up of what I think was a blue fish and I lost that one quickly. I would really love to get into a school of Spanish or Blues and tear into them but that is so hit or miss.
Does anyone have any good tips or strategies?

I have been looking for the same info. The linked article below was a good starting point (consolidates a lot of information I found on other sites nicely). The only other piece of information I have latched on to was to use an intermediate or even sinking line to get the fly to the fish.
I have heard from others I have been talking to that the southern points (Hatteras Island) have pompano that can be sight fished - on my next trip there, that will be my target.
Good Luck!
