8)Check out Pirate's Cove on Roanoke Island (Manteo). Rental homes and condos. Get enough folks and it's much cheaper and about 100 times nicer then motel/hotels in the area. Public boat ramp across from entrance and many charter boats that run half day striper trips. OI is just plan nasty, even on a good day. You need to know what the hell your doing. I run the inlet only on the very best days. Sand bar at the end is finicky.....I typically do three to four striper trips come winter....would love to join in the party!
