FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Outer Banks fishing, boat ramps, and orders.
Are Outer Banks boat ramps free to use?
Most are. Of the 27 public launches in our boat ramp guide, 24 are free — including the NCWRC-operated Washington Baum Bridge ramp in Manteo. A few launches through private marinas may charge a fee; the guide lists fees, trailer parking, and dock details for every ramp.
Where can I launch a boat near Manteo?
Three public ramps serve Manteo: Washington Baum Bridge on Albemarle Sound (55 trailer spaces), Bowsertown Road on Croatan Sound (30 trailer spaces), and Edwards Landing on Shallowbag Bay, which has no trailer parking.
How long does shipping take on tackle shop orders?
Two things ship two different ways. Custom merchandise is made to order and produced in 2-5 business days, then spends 4-6 business days in transit via Printful's Flat Rate. Consigned gear ships from the supplier's US warehouse instead. Shipping is calculated at checkout for the exact items in your order, and an order containing both arrives in separate shipments with separate tracking.
How many fish species does OBX Tackle cover?
The species guide covers 92 fish species along the OBX coast, with seasons, baits, rigs, and regulations for each.
