Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

Today we had another sunny day with one of the warmest days so far..  The winds were from the north-west switching to the south-east at 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the low 80’s.

The Buxton beaches had some good catches of sea mullet, bluefish a few sheeps head and a pompano were reported. Out at Cape Point a couple of big red drum and plenty of sharks and rays were caught.  The Frisco beaches were producing sea mullet and bluefish.  Down on the Hatteras beach there were sea mullet, flounder, bluefish and croakers caught.

The inshore boats had a few puppy drum and there were a few cobia caught with several spotted.  Get ready for some steady cobia action.  The offshore fleet had some reel good dolphin catches and a few yellowfin tuna.  One white marlin was released from the charter fleet.

The third day of the Hatteras Village Offshore Open had 1 blue marlin, 1 sailfish and 2 white marlin released.
