The Outer Banks fishing report for Hatteras Island: The wind did not pick up like they predicted . It hung in around 5-10 mph out of the South. The ocean was very clear but on the north side the rip was really strong; 5 oz. had a hard time holding. We are still praying for a few days of rain. With the lack of rain; mosquito bites are a rarity. I have only had a half doz. bites all summer. There were a few days of green head flies We have only had one small rain shower in the past 6 weeks.
From Hatteras to Avon we had a mix of small and keeper Flounder. We also had reports of Blues, Spanish, Pompano, and Sea Mullet. Harrison Finney employee of the day; had one citation Pompano and one just under 2 lbs.
Inshore report good Spanish catches along the beach. In the sound they reported Gray trout, Blues, Spanish, and keeper flounder
Offshore reported limits of Dolphin (mostly bailers) and some Skip Jacks. The billfish bite was decent during the second day of the Hatteras Marlin Club Billfish tournament. Two blue marlin, multiple whites and a couple of sailfish released.
