Can anyone show me on a map where "The Pond" is at the Oregon Inlet and can it be reached via kayak? Thanks.

It is on the east side of the bridge on the north end of the Inlet. Follow the eastern edge of the shoreline from the fishing center and you will get it.

Yes it can be reached via kayak. You will see a yellow tarpon 120 there this week!:D

if you leave out of Oregon Inlet just bear left along the bridge until you can go under the bridge, you will see it when you get there, it's a great looking place, but I have never caught anything there, it gets a lot of pressure when conditions get too bad for boats to be in the sound or near shore.
I have an orange Tarpon T120, and when I visited the POND area in June, I limited out on Flounder....

That picture would be what I consider the pond. Fished there a couple of times last week. Caught a few small flounder in there and lost a nice one right at the side of the kayak. That one hurt. It was a NICE one. But I had alot better luck with the flounder fishing jigging deep holes on the way there.

20 years ago we were casting to the triangle markers. Now we are driving around them.

Carey is right on the money. The pond is a very small area that cant take but so much fishing pressure. Hardly worth fishing there anymore.

The Internet ruined fishing?!?
I'm sure somebody in the past said the same thing about spinning reels, motorboats, monofilament line, printed charts marked with wrecks, GPS, depthfinders, store-bought mullet and fatback, scented baits like Berkly Gulp and Fishbites, etc.
What ruins fishing is when people try to get into it and don't have any success and can't find anyone willing to help them improve. Sooner or later they'll give up.
Of course, that's one less person fishing your secret spot.

Dang, i cant even agree with you without a snippity comeback! At least your bitchin about something we can agree on. That fish kill makes the bycatch in the nets look like chicken scratch, wouldnt you say? Numbers of dead drum were in the thousands from what i hear.
