8-24-11 Outer Banks Fishing Report

Here is your Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island:

It was a beautiful day.  The Calm before the storm.  Sunny skies and light east winds 5 mph.  Hurricane Irene effects are expected to be felt as early as early saturday morning with gail force winds, then increasing the rest of the day.  I have no report from the beaches.  The inshore boats had a good day of speckled trout fishing.  Offshore fishing was pretty good too.  Good dolphin catches, some gaffer size and wahoo fishing was pretty good.  We had 4 sail fish releases from the Hatteras Harbor fleet.  Bite Me and Native son each had 1 and Godspeed had 2.
