Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

Today in Frisco we had sunny skies and a record high of 81 degrees.  The winds were out of the south-west at 5-10 mph.  Today concluded the 28th annual Ocracoke Surf Fishing Tournament. Fishing was real good for the few that were picked to fish the southern end of Ocracoke Island.  They had lots of bluefish.  The overall winner were the Stop n Shop Hot Liners with 168 pts.  In second overall were the first place women’s team the Nags Head Outcasters with 118 pts and the third place were Raleigh Saltwater Surf Fishing Club with 109 pts.  The second place womens were the Hatterascals with 61 pts and thrid place womens were the Different Drumers with 12 pts.  The Largest fish was a 37.5 in bluefish caught by Ginger Wojciechowski and the largest fish by a male was a 37.25 in bluefish by Dave Flanigan.  Nice job!!!

The beach fishing was real good on the Buxton beach.  Good catches of sea mullet and pompano.  Out at Cape Point the big drum and bluefish were caught this morning and already tonight as I type.  Lots of them from what I understand.  A little slower on the southern beaches.  Only some bluefish reported.

The inshore fishing was really good.  Lots of bluefish and spanish mackerel, some speckled and gray trout were also caught.  The offshore boats also had some good fishing.  Lots of gaffer dolphin, some citation size, some nice wahoo and a few blackfin tuna.  One white marlin and one blue marlin were released and one blue marlin got tail wrapped during the fight and died so the guys from the “Godspeed” brought it back to the dock.  Smoked marlin for everyone for the week.  The picture below is from the “Godspeed” charter boat of the 438 lb blue marlin caught in the waters off of Hatteras Island.
