Beginner to NC Fishing

Hey yall, just went fishing for like the second time and I’m thinking that I really want to get into it more and know more.

Are there any good resources (I.e. YouTube channels, books, websites) for learning about NC fishing? Thinking things like fish ID, where you’ll find certain fish, bait types, rod types, very methods of fishing, etc.

Also, any recommendations for a rod to get? I live in Durham but am down at the beach a lot, specifically Oak Island.

Thanks!

Lure/fishing tips for intercostal waterway - NC

So I’ll be around here in the intracoastal waterway next week. I have not really done any shore/dock saltwater fishing and would appreciate any tips on lures/baits/rig setups to use. I’m sure shrimp bait is an easy answer but no idea if that is correct for late May. I’m willing to catch anything.

It is pretty marshy there at low tide so should I wait until tide is on its way in, at high tide, or on its way out?

Any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.

OBX Surf Fishing

I’ll be traveling to OBX for vacation and I’d like to bring a rod/reel set up to surf fish from the shore, any suggestions on a simply couple day beginner set up? I’d like to stay budget friendly since I’m from PA and will only use this a couple times while I’m there. Any insight is much appreciated!

Cape Fear Alligator Gar Fishing

Has anyone targeted Alligator Gars in the Cape Fear River near downtown Wilmington? I often see them on the surface, but never fished for them. Any advise would be appreciated.
