Jonah Lake landed a beautiful 30” red drum off of Ocracoke’s beach yesterday, as well as an impressive shark! 🦈 He was fishing with mullet from Tradewinds. Thanks so much for sending us your pictures and congrats on that catch!

Thanks Angela for tagging us in your post. Great drum, congrats on your catch!! Make sure to stop by the shop for all of your Ocracoke fishing needs!

Go Sportsball! What do you think he smells like? Wrong answers only 🤣 (the candle smells lovely though)...

Tricia Cutler, who grew up on Ocracoke and Hatteras, now lives in Asheville and had her life and livelihood affected by Hurricane Helene last September. We hope you will check out her work when you visit us on Ocracoke!
